    Yes, it's a very light razor though. Put a new improved head on an aluminum tech handle, and it's likely very close. Maybe I'll weigh the handles and report back ;)

    Putting some character in with this first shave with my British Hybrid Tech, courtesy of @Kevinwine85.
    Chewie approved of the grey box Berkley 46, which was also lathered for the first time.
    Old faithful Proraso soap, topped off by Chanel accouterments.

    The HT was a great shave right up to when it bit me. I looked away mid stroke as something caught my eye, only to have muscle memory continue the stroke... happens sometimes!

    Compared to a regular tech I'd put the HT a tad on the aggressive side and very efficient. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
