having exactly two safety razors in my rotation.. i've noticed the main difference in where the weight of the razor is.. my merkur 34c has a heavy handle.. which i hold near the end and let the weight work for me..

my other shaver is a gillette slim adjustable.. the weight of the razor is in the head.. i seem to prefer it this way and get a nicer shave.. which really makes me want to try the pils next..

anyway.. does anyone else have any input on how the "balance" of their de effects their shave?
