Is the weight of the Merkur 38C suitable for my hand size?
I've been eyeing the Merkur 38C for a while now, and I'm curious to know if its weight will be suitable for my hand size. I've read that it weighs around 4.25 oz (120 g), which seems quite hefty to me. I'm wondering if the heft of this heavyweight razor will make it difficult to maneuver, or if the looks and feel of it will be worth the extra weight. When holding the razor, I want to feel a comfortable balance in my hand, without it feeling too heavy or too light. I've heard that the Merkur 38C has a great grip, but I'm not sure if that will compensate for its heavier weight. Has anyone with smaller hands used the Merkur 38C and found it to be comfortable to hold and maneuver? Does the weight of the razor affect the overall feel and balance of it, or is it more about personal preference? I'd love to hear some feedback from those who have experience with this razor.

I think the weight of the Merkur 38C is a trade-off for its durability and quality. While it may feel hefty at first, I've found that it's precisely this weight that provides a sense of stability and control in my hand. The non-slip grip helps, but it's the balance of the razor that makes all the difference.

I've found that the weight of the Merkur 38C is actually an advantage for those with smaller hands. The extra heft provides a sense of stability, allowing for more control and precision during shaving. Plus, the non-slip grip helps to distribute the weight evenly, making it comfortable to hold and maneuver.
