Straight razor vs shavette for bald heads... no contest after 2 months

I used a shavette for about a year on my bald clients and always had trouble with irritation on the crown area. Switched to a real straight razor about 2 months ago after an old timer at a shop in Philly told me to try it. The weight of the real blade makes a huge difference, you don't have to press at all. Has anyone else noticed better results with a traditional straight over a shavette for head shaves?

Shavettes are lighter, not heavier than straights.

Yeah lighter but the balance is totally different. I'd take a extra ounce of weight over a flimsy handle any day.
