    I meant that you could put a lead wedge in the scales.

    Ah cheers, my mistake, I thought you were making a joke about the heaviness of the razor. Cheers for the idea

    Another alternative is practice. Use it for a while and the balance may seem just fine after getting used to heavier blades.

    Yeah I had wanted more practice anyway, just to get my head and hands around the different dynamics. I hadn't considered that balance may come into that.

    What Utopian said. I've got a particularly heavy Barlow wedge from the 1870s and I can tell you that thing scared the blazes out of me the first few times I brought it up to my face.
