I like the Red Tip, but I feel like it could be a bit heavier in the hand. Is there another razor out there that is about as aggressive but with more wight? TTO and 3 piece are both fine, but I wont spend over $100 and half that is even better. Thanks everyone.
Heavier than a Red Tip?

Fatboy.
Fatboy Razors are Heavier then Red Tip, but its easier to get under nose with Red Tip then it is with a Fatboy and the Fatboys Head is at a Height Dome. But Both do an Excellent Job Shaving

My Stahly live blade=164 grams, 1 the heaviest production razor
Cadet Razors from Shave A Buck
Toggle is also heavier than a red tip. It's the heaviest of the vintage Gillettes.
A late 40's Aristocrat. I was astounded when I tried one for the first time. It shaves just as close and smooth as a Red Tip but the little bit of extra weight makes it even easier. I call it a Red Tip on steroids.
The futur has great adjustment settings and weighs a ton. When I first picked it up, I couldn't believe how heavy it was.

As a note, I prefer shorter handles. Though I might try another long handle.
I found THIS (Sabi T3), and was curious what people thought about it? It's uber heavy, probably too much, but it caught my eye.
How are the quality on these? I'm going to have to do some research on them, but the price is right.
Thanks for the tip on the Aristocrat. I had tried most of typical Gilletts, but not that one. I had and sold a Fatboy and a Slim, I like the non ajusting TTO's I guess.

That is actually a big big help
After doing some more reading I got a Cadet and a Sabi T3, and both shipped for about that $50 mark.
My thinking of the Fatboy is that the head design is very similar. Also, the over all feel of the Red Tip, look, knurling, weight, is close to that of a Fatboy. Red Tip is sort of a Fatboy Jr.
I just wish the Red Tip were a bit more aggressive.

Slant for sure is heavier..maybe the Stanley live blade..lol
Mine is 88 gms of weight, very heavy
Yep, the Red Tip is listed at 66 grams, the Fatboy at 79 grams, and the Toggle at 88 grams.
39C and Futur are heavier.
Great job on ordering the two razors! i would have said to go with the open-comb Aristocrats! Enjoy the new razors.

Open combs and I tend not to work so well together for some reason. I can use a straight with no problem, but I get careless with the OC's for some reason. I honestly was tempted with the Cadet OC though, it was in my cart for a minuet.
An Aristocrat was tempting, but I did not have the patience to hunt one down. Plus the price was right on the new razors, and they seem to be well enough reviewed.
40's Aristocrat is the devil. I sold mine. It tried to eat my face.
