Many people feel the Aristocrat is too mild or too bulky. It's pretty much an acquired taste.
My 'crat feels just fine in the hand; I'm comparing this to a Merkur Futur and Vision, the latter being a good shaver but simply outsized for my hand. (Just got hold of a Parker Variant today...will be interesting to see how that compares in terms of balance, since it is noticeably heavier than the 'crat.)
