Thread: I think a heavier razor is for me!

I just received my Capital Cuttlery Black Steele straight razor in the mail today. I purchased it from SRP member simpty52. The packaging was great, bubble wrapped, toothbrush travel container & tissue. Great seller.

I couldn't wait to use it, so as I came home from work just a few minutes ago(2am Pacific, HI) I touched up a few missed areas from today's earlier shave. This razor is heavy & that worked for me. It seemed like the weight carried the razor through each stroke with minimal effort on my end.

Do fellow SRP members have a weight preference ? I think heavy is my Groove as I'm used to heavy clippers(Model 10 w/ oversized brushes internally). Or is it bad technique & due to my growing pains?
