Silly me, I remember that I had written an article about this razor. Here is the picture from it:

Obie, I imagine you are correct, as the natural compensation for the loss of weight would be additional pressure. I prefer heavier DE's, so this model probably wouldn't be for me...

I think it's a very attractive and interesting razor. I won't be tempted though because I've phased out DE shaving to the extent that it's hard for me to justify the number I already have, let alone any new acquisitions.

So, does this mean we now have a Merkur that won't begin to flake off its poor finish after a couple of months???
