With an 11g head and a 6g handle this razor was a little head-heavy, but too light overall. The obvious solution would be a new handle, but that would be too easy, and more than double the £2.51 purchase price.
I had a little rummage around in my tool shed, and discovered that I could screw an M5 x 50mm bolt (weight 10g) into the bottom of the razor without too much effort - the hole in the bottom of the handle was just right, and the plastic was soft enough that the bolt was essentially self-tapping. I now have a nicely balanced tech razor weighing just about one ounce.
It's still a bit mild, I'll try shimming it next.
