I thought the heaviestAristocrat was the British Gillette #16? But this says it’s #15.
Would it be that this link’s page is incorrect?

(The set number usually refers to the case, not the razor. That 82g Aristocrat was sold in a few sets around 1949. 15, 16, 21, 22 etc)

A lot of the British and American 'Aristocrat'-razors seems to hover around 72-75g. To my knowledge the 3.gen British 'Aristocrat' is the only model which weighs above 80g.

Thanks so apparently the finding is that it’s not just the 16 that weighs 80-82g, at times, others made in 1949.
It's specifically the 3.gen British 'Aristocrat' which is particularly heavy. It got sold in about 1949-1951 and in different cases given various numbers like eg. #15 or #16 and others.
Most variations shown here in the second row.
