My 2 favorite razors are the Henson AL13+++ and the RR Lupo Aluminum. I am an outlier, since I prefer super lightweight razors. I agree 100 percent with the drag/suction issue...but I have always used a thin and super slick creme/soap combination...therefore the drag has never been an issue with my prep and technique. I rub in Cremo as a pre-shave (very slick) and then a moderately thin layer of shaving soap or cream. The combination works great with draggy razors. My next 2 favorite light weights are the 1951 Gillette Tech with the bakelite handle, and the post war English Gillette Flat Bottom Tech. All of these light razors allow me to shave 3 passes plus a clean-up very quickly, on autopilot with little attention.
