Yaqi Bohemia ticks all your boxes !
Yates Winning razor might fit the bill for weight and efficiency.
Rockwell 6S is a Hefty Ss and gives you the option of different plates.
Yates 921-M sounds about right.
Karve CB in maybe a B plate, or even the Overlander.
What is your definition of hefty?
AND Sensitive skin..
I say the Karve CB daily driver.. (3 plate)!
You can change your choice of plates which covers the sensitivity
Brass & a Handle length that you like..gives you the heft.
And it can cover you as you progress with plate choices.
Plus they do you kill you for each plate.
Rockwell 6S as mention, is another choice..me, just did not like the clunky fat heads..
But lots of fans here also.
I always suggest the buy and try...
You really never know until you try it..

If you are willing to look at a solid brass razor, instead of SS, you could do much worse than a Goodfellas Bayonetta. They aren’t very expensive but provide an excellent shave. I did hand polish mine twice with Simichrome because I prefer the polished look. I find it smooth, comfortable yet close. YMMV, of course. I use mine with a fairly sharp blade: a Perma-Sharp but I’m sure other blades will be fine too.
Green Cult Version 2
I forgot about that one. Good suggestion. I only sold mine because my Blutt BR-1 1.2 made it a bit redundant. I had amazing shaves with it during a 7 week trip overseas. I brought it along because I knew I’d get wonderful shaves and I only bought it and my trusty Claymore Evolution, if I recall correctly.
It's expensive, relatively speaking, but the Hone SS is all the things you're looking for.
Can confirm ... Huge gap, neutral exposure, good clamping, super comfortable and smooth.
But the original handle doesn't feel that gripping ......
Thankfully it isn't difficult to improve
When I think “hefty,” I think Timeless. Heavy, long handle, gentle. checks all the boxes, plus its made in America.
