I don't see it that way at all.
The Concord under discussion is actually heavier than a Gillette aluminium handled Tech which millions of men used. It is heavier than the Lord L6 which is an excellent and highly rated razor. And it is a lot heavier than the Merkur Bakelite, which is a brilliant razor.

It is a matter of technique that you control the pressure the razor puts on your face. If you are any good you can have exactly the right pressure regardless of the weight of the razor. Using a heavy razor as a substitute for technique rules out using lots of really good razors.
