I've tried many, many more razor than shown here but these are the ones that have survived frequent culls - there are no tourists in my den. Only the Mergress and HIRAM are above 100g, the Mergress because I love the Progress but dislike it's head-heavy balance and this mod balances it out, even if it is at the expense of overall weight. The HIRAM isn't a razor I enjoy like my other razors as I find it too big, thankfully it's not at all head-heavy. It does give a great finish every time and, now I've sorted out the manufacturing flaws, it is a great razor.
In summary I seem to like 60-80g razors. However, my favorite DE is the Blackbird, DESPITE it's weight. I'm really hoping the titanium one is sooo expensive it simply isn't a viable purchase.
Now I've got to find something else to do...
