Recently started using the Vision - the first surprise was the weight is not excessive considering the large size - and even though the handle is smooth, the large TTO knob makes it easy to hold on to. No Travel Tech for sure, but a workable piece of shaveware
I have small hands, and did not have a problem handling the Vision. It is a large, well balanced razor. I ended up selling mine as I did not want to deal with the regular, preventative maintenance that Merkur recommends for the Vision. Other than the maintenance, it is a good razor that provides a close shave. Personally I would not recommend it for a beginner, but an experienced shaver with small hands should not have a problem.
