Yes, it's a sad flimsy thing [SEP] But it works with my favorite blades. And doesn't fall apart quickly due to the attachment mechanism being made out of plastic, which is now ancient, like the expensive new in box original one I got elsewhere. And nothing else seems to pivot sensibly. Most cartridge razors seem to pivot at the bottom, so they pivot more when you press on them more. And they have too many blades = abrasion. I just can't see why we can't have nice metal handles for this type of blade that pivots in the middle and has a reasonable amount of blades.
