No, they are about 45% lighter!
I think mine is about 48 grams and that is 92mm long.

He mostly uses titanium these days.

Here is a quick picture i took of my Alumigoose and Hempel titanium handle

Alex, my friend,
Thank you for the information. I certainly will consider the titanium handle.

I would recommend getting one. Excellent shave. But I agree, the Super Pros will bite.

No problem Obie. I cant believe how good these handles feel. I now have 4 Hempel titanium handles and have no desire to go back to heavier ss handles for any of my DEs. They seem to balance razors better and feel more agile.

Plus Hempel is great to deal with (via facebook) and makes you feel welcome.

I'm sorry you had that experience. I had just the opposite. Among the best customer service I have ever gotten with updates on delivery, and delivery faster than I expected. Got mine around mid-November as I recall.

Ask Jurgen for the options, he has different size ones and they will have different mass.
