As an experiment, I've added three new, buyers-guide columns to the "Currently-Manufactured DE Razors Ranked According to User-Polled Aggressiveness":
So, the top of the chart now looks like this:
Full list can be seen at:

Three questions:
Thanks!

- Head materials (materials used in construction of the razor's head ... not handle)
- Cr = Chrome
- SS = Stainless Steel
- Al = Aluminum
- "Cr | Zamak" = "Chrome plating over Zamak"
- Price index
- Prices change over time and from place to place, so this index is meant to be somewhat fuzzy, but still give a quick, approximate, relative idea of starting prices for a razor with this head and a handle (from the same manufacturer) at competitive retail prices
- $ = starting at under around $25 USD
- $$ = starting at under around $50 USD
- $$$ = starting at under around $100 USD
- $$$$ = starting at under around $200 USD
- $$$$$ = starting at over $200 USD
- Prices change over time and from place to place, so this index is meant to be somewhat fuzzy, but still give a quick, approximate, relative idea of starting prices for a razor with this head and a handle (from the same manufacturer) at competitive retail prices
- Country of origin
- The country where the razor head is manufactured
So, the top of the chart now looks like this:
Extremely Aggressive (9.5 to 10.0) | Head materials | Price index | Country of origin | |
10.0 | Muhle R41 (2011) (out of production, but included as the most-aggressive reference point) | Cr | Zamak | na | Germany |
9.5 | Muhle R41 (2013) | Cr | Zamak | $$ | Germany |
9.0 | Above the Tie (ATT) H2 open comb (OC) | SS | $$$$ | USA |
Very Aggressive (8.5 to 9.0) | ||||
8.5 | Above the Tie (ATT) H1 standard bar (SB) | SS | $$$$ | USA |
8.0 | FaTip OC (Joris OC is believed to have identical head) | Cr | Brass | $ ($$$) | Italy (and ?) |

Three questions:
- Is this a good idea? Is it helpful? Fair?
- Is this a good place to include this information?
- Any inaccuracies? If so, feel free to reply back with a correction (or make the correction yourself in the Wiki)
Thanks!
Shawn
