What's new

do you prefer de/se razors that are on the lighter or heavier side?

When I converted from cartridge razors to DE safety razors, I would have said that I prefer heavier razors. But now that I've adjusted to a completely different discipline, I much prefer light razors like the Gillette Super Speed.
I have a couple of pretty heavy razors, the Emperor Meiji and Rockwell 6C and their weight doesn't bother me but, all things being equal, I prefer a lighter razor.
 
Most of my VintaGE GILLETTE'S ARE 1.9-2.0 OZ., Range. So honestly I can not comment about heavy weights. Throwaways like SST's are like .125 OZ, weight nothing.

“Let the razor do the work!”

BUT

I also like the “Baton” handle of the GEM Jr. I purchased the razor just to use the handle.

I use it with the head of my, Shovel head. Together they provide a nice balanced combination.

1. It fit perfectly on the head of my Shovel head
2. It is lightweight with a nice grip
3. It has a very comfortable, wide grip

I have had it for about a month. It feels as if I have been using it for longer.
