How to increase the weight of a razor handle ?

[Winblows]

I have a fat handle Gillette Tech which I think is a peace of art.
I like heavy handles too. I have a iKon bulldog and a Tradere, but the look of the fat handle on my Tech is just amazing. Unfortunately the handle weighs only 25 grams, but it is hollow. So I'd like to fill it with some heavy material to increase the weight.

Do anyone here at B&B have any experience with that ?

I am thinking about filling it with lead. I remember back in time, when I was fishing, I could buy lead in small rolls. It was rolls of paper thin plates of lead. Maybe I can cut it into small pieces and stop them inside the handle ?

What do you think ?

I've seen people fill them with bb gun pellets before. That would work well I think.

That would work, .....and lead shot or pieces of solder as suggested in this thread.

I'm wondering why you're not fishing anymore.

... uh, wow, I have NO internal monologue anymore ...

Anyhoo, all the suggestions here are fine. One other idea is to put a different handle on it.

that's the point, the beauty of this "fat" handle, it's just not enough heavy. Custom handles ? I think that I have enough of them

good idea - i've got some old used leadcore trolling line, its pure lead in the middle, a thin string of it -
i can mash some into my lord l6 handle!
