I can relate to this, as a handle can make a clear difference. Not only is an issue of weight, but sometimes a different handle might facilitate a slight change to the shaving angle of the razor.
A lighter setup can cause some shavers to apply more pressure against the skin. In my experience, that is not the way to go. I’m glad to hear that what I can only assume is a lighter handle helped improve the shaves in this case.
(Side note on the diamond-like carbon coating: After years of use, I haven’t noticed a real difference in friction/glide compared to other razors. I do think that the main purpose is to protect the material beneath — even stainless steel is susceptible to the effects of wear & time.)

Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
