how mch does the razor weigh

I didn't weigh mine. It has the proper heft--not too heavy, not pot-metal light, either, and reminds me of Post-War Gillettes and Shicks. The round handle presents no problem in keeping the blade housing at the proper angle against the face. I never end up with the corner poking me. Once, I didn't check the tightness of the knurled end-knob controlling the "wings." When the blade began to feel like I was shaving with broken glass, I knew it was loose. One turn fixed it. I really like the thing and strongly prefer it to those "aerodynamic" contraptions whose expensive stack-blades seem to me to offer uneven quality. You only need one good blade.

Where are these razors manufactured?

The Parker razors are manufactured in India.

How is this packaged, does it come with a storage tray/case?

Hi. It does NOT come with any storage case that I recall. IF it did, I threw it away immediately. But the razor itself is very nice

does the butterfly open from the collar at the bottom or the collar just below the head?

The butterfly opens from the collar at the bottom.
