    Default Making my DE handles heavier

    I like the heavy DE razors so i decided to add Bronze is some handles to make them heavier
    These are the inserts.

    I'm curious as to why you'd want the handles to be heavier? Personally I prefer the extra weight to be in the cutting head as it helps the shaving action.

    Either way, nice job!

    I agree, I want my razors to be balanced.

    However I can see you put much work and thought into this and you did a great job.
