if anyone else has this handle, I'm curious what theirs is weighing in at.

I have the MR11 and I believe it weighs 62g on my scale too. I will with it again this evening after work and let you know. I know it weighs more than 56g which is a good thing for me as I like heavier handles.

I would have been fine with the 56g as advertised, but a few more is even better. It's definitely a great deal at $14.00.

I'm thinking about picking up this handle. How do you feel about the handle now after owning it for a month and a half? I'm debating between the MR5 and the MR11 at the moment

I just got an MR5 handle with the V3A head over the weekend and have shaved with this combo for the past 3 days. Love the handle. If I could put one of my GEM heads on this handle, I could probably be done buying razors. It is definitely a quality piece for only $19.

I don't know about GEMs, but pick up a 1924 Shovel Head a 10-32 stainless steel setscrew and you're golden.

Thanks gwsmallwood! I was just researching this a minute ago and found that the ER '24 and 'some' GEM 1912s will accept other handles with an added set screw

Off to ebay and the hardware store!
