Gibbs 15
Aluminium

This is the light-weight version. All the brass parts are made in aluminium. They only came numbered as a 15. All parts are interchangeable with the brass version. Been aluminium it's not head heavy so I find little to no benefit in adding a brass handle. If anything, I would add the brass twist-knob from the brass version and shift the balance slightly down.

How does it shave?
Personally I find it too light, a bit draggy and it needs a newish/sharper blade. It's still a very good razor, a three pass with a bit of pressure gives me very close to a BBS.
