    Default Biggest and heaviest pre-Vision razor?

    I'm pretty sure that the Merkur Vision is the biggest DE ever made. And lately wet shavers have demanded large, hefty DEs, hence the 38c which is classicly styled but with lotsof weight and mass. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the biggest and heaviest DE was before the Vision, Futur, and 38c came along?

    I'm guessing the Gillette Fatboy but I really don't know. Anyone have any guesses about this?

    I'll bet the Stahly live blade, but that's probably cheating.

    My guess is the Gillette Big Fellow.
