I prefer medium weight and in some designs a heavier weight. My stainless Wolfman with WR7 handle is a perfect weight for be but more importantly perfectly balanced for my tastes. I wouldn't object to trying a titanium razor but for some reason I have no real desire for aluminum. I believe this may be in part to my uncertainty of the threading and post on the heads of an aluminum razor degrading or bending with improper use.

I prefer titanium, luckily the RazorRock handle is affordable and feels good.

This pretty much reflects my feeling on the subject.  However, I do not enjoy an overly heavy razor or one that is out of balance for the way I would naturally hold it.

I dig my ATT M1 Calypso and RazoRock Baby Smooth. Both are light and work well for me.

I would've said medium weight a few months ago but I believe the Rockwell 6S is 3.99 oz so I voted heavy.

It's hard for me to say but I seem to prefer lighter razors. I do have some heavy handles that see some use but the lighter stuff is used the majority of the time. The heavier stuff definitely feels great in the hand and more "durable" though.

I also enjoy using both types of razors. However, I do seem to prefer the stainless steel ones, more. Shy

I prefer a SS head with a Ti handle. The weight is very manageable and being a little head heavy helps the shave, IMO.
