I'm sorry but the R89 is even lighter than the EJ DE89 (74g), as the handle is completely hollow! It weighs, at max, 70g. My Chatsworth weighs 114g and is quite bigger and heavier!

The site lists both razors with the same shipping weight (115g), which is the point I was making. :|
I never weighed my R89, so I do not know what it came in at, but it did not seem overly heavy. Maybe the advertised weight should be taken with a pinch of salt. :|
JohnnyO should buy one, forget he bought it, buy another, find he had already been given one for (Grand)Fathers Day then swamp BST with 2 of them. I'll buy one, let you know how I didn't like it, then BST it for another loss as some pikey offers 20p for it :shock:
