I bought a digital scale to weigh stuff so I figured I would weigh some razors I have...

Gillette Super Adjustable C2 Without Blade
57.9 g

58.4 g

Gillette Sensor Excel Without Blade
28.5 g

Gillette Mach 3 Disposable With Blue Handle & Blade
17.9 g

GEM White Handle Without Blade

You're not supposed to eat them.

wow, I hate to see what you do when you buy a brand new shiny hammer!



What scale did you buy, how much was it, what's good, what's bad? I've been in the market for one for a while, just indecisive. I could get out my old powder scale, but specifying how much a razor weighs in grains might not fly.

I have a GEM white handle. I haven't ever shaved with it (it was my grandfather's and I inherited almost everything he had) and I can say it is one of the lightest (but best built as durability goes) SEs I have ever picked up, and I have held a few in my day (I prefer DEs for shaving, though).

As for BTJustice, have you looked into some of the other works Jackie Gleason (who played BTJustice in Smokey and the Bandit) did in his lifetime? In the 50's he had a late show competing with Perry Como -- both were fine shows considering the technology of the era. Jackie was also in many movies as a character actor over the years.

It would be great if you wanted to add to the already lengthy list of razor weights listed in the wiki area. Great stuff!

@Crixus: Or wear them, lol.

@gearchow: I got mine off eBay. It's against the rules to post links to live auctions so here is a dead auction link...

@mharris127: I figured going by "The Great One" here would be strange as I am a cutthroat/SE/DE shaving noob but a wet shaving veteran.

@crugg: Done. Thanks for the suggestion.
