Part of the draw of a safety razor is the weight. You aren't supposed to push it against your face, just let it glide across your skin with its own weight pushing down. By going to a plastic body you lose that weight, and have to replace it with applied pressure. Requires more dexterity than just letting the razor glide.

Yes, I agree. It would require - at least - adding a metal/lead core to the handle to give it some heft.
