From this thread, a Gillette Slim is 70.7 g and a Gillette 195 (Fatboy) is 79.5 grams. I consider the Slim to be medium weight. My 74 g Edwin Jagger DE89L is only 4 g heavier, but the weight is more towards the head than the Slim. The EJ feels heavier, which I prefer. As jar noted, the balance is important, too. So I would say I prefer medium weight razors with the weight biased towards the head.
Sometimes I feel like my Krona is similar to a samurai sword - light, & agile. The speed & fluidity between motions is unrivaled to any of my other razors. Shaving with it is almost like an involuntary motion. It's lightness & compact head design are features I would like to see in products made by the new wave of razor manufacturers.
