Too light
I use a heljestrand #4 today, but I think it's too light and I want a heavier one, what should I have?

I'm not familiar with the #4, but if you find it to be too light, look for a razor with a larger width and/or a heavier grind. If that is a 4/8 razor, try something 5/8 or larger. If that is a full hollow, try half hollow or quarter hollow or wedge ground.

The MK 32 is the 6/8 full hollow IIRC. Nice full blade and a bit of heft to it.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Too light for what? If you just prefer a heavier blade that's one thing but if you couldn't get a good shave with it that's an indication something is amiss with the operator.
