Heavy DE?

[Hank]

I just got a gillette fatboy and like it a lot are there other razors that are comparable in weight to the fatboy?

According to the wiki the new improved big fellow is one gram heavier

Some of the CoonCat Bob razors like a Bull Mastiff are pretty hefty...

I started with a Parker HD 98R (121g), and now use a Merkur Slant 39C (113g). Since the fatboy is 80g, those may be much heavier than you like...

HD Rockets are a little bit lighter at 70g, but they are very nice shavers.

I own a TTO Bull mastiff and it has got to be 4oz or better. Awsome shaver. I still want to buy a fatboy though
