I could make a handle easily enough to test that theory as well, be surised if the modern handles aren't metric and vintage imperial threads.
The Gillette thread is imperial #10-32, and modern razors are mostly M5. The M5 is slightly larger in diameter, and although the thread pitches are the same or similar, an M5 handle onto an old Gillette head will have the latter rattling round and rather loose. Oddly enough, modern Italian Fatip razors, that might be expected to be M5, aren't, and accommodate the handles off my three-piece vintage Techs well.Good idea on weighting the handle, easy to try as I'm sure I have some putty about.

All good options
