the Wapi will be just fine in your hand. The key to an enjoyable shave with a heavy razor is finding the proper balance between the scales and the blade by simply adjusting how far you open the scales. YMMV.
Quite a few of the larger (7/8+) bladed razors are in the 55-65gr range, depending on the scales. After the Williams, my next heaviest is a 67gr Livi also in staghorn, in olivewood a nearly identical razor is 48gr.
As for how experienced... my whole life, except when i wore a full beard, and i'm 41 now. Just got the William's this spring.
