Really, these factors make light materials like aluminium and bakelite ideal for aggressive razors - razors that demand the most precise user control.įirst go, I have got a truly glass-smooth shave with this razor, with only the faintest tingle from my Proraso green splash.
This increased feedback contributes to an enhanced sense of control. Less weight also means the feedback is not being dampened so much - the feel of the hair cutting can just rattle crisply and loudly through the frame. Less weight means I'm not fighting the razor's inertia so much - move this much, exactly, in this direction, and no more! Like a lightweight sports car, it's easier to have it under total control. The two things I love about lightweight razors are control and feedback. I always loved the aggression of the TI +++ - but what I didn't love was the weight.
