Aggressive Razor Suggestions

I'll be another one jumping in to say "Yaqi Knight Helmet". That's the one I remind myself I'm using before applying it to the face. More caution required than anything (including straight or shavette) in my current circulation.
It's a masterpiece of evil. It's a great close shave and I have at least one soft spot for it. But it knows...

It is a challenging sort of rewarding shave with the Knights helmet if everything goes right with no irritation usually & no weepers. The amazing thing with a aggressive razors you seldom get irritation but more blemish weepers sheared off possibly and occasional nick with my limited experiences using them.

I can't believe it took so many posts before somebody finally came up with the correct answer: the Yaqi Knight Helmet.
You can't call yourself an aggressive DE junkie if you don't have one.
Also great for peeling potatoes, so lt's a win-win.
Dirt cheap, too. I think I paid $8 for mine. For the love of all that is holy, buy one at your earliest convenience and then come back here and tell us about your experience.

I also like aggressive and efficient safety razors, BBS shaves, and post-shave facestubartion. The Yaqi Helmet razor is very aggressive, but it's not efficient. I do not recommend it. My favorite aggressive safety razors are (in that order); Charcoal Goods Lvl3 Gen2 (important: Gen2, not Gen3), iKon Tek (Tech), Greencult GC1.0, Greencult GC2.0 base plate IV, Rex Ambassador. The Merkur Futur is a nice razor, but it's certainly in a lower tier. Some nice mid-aggressive razors are: Blackland Dart, Blackland Blackbird, Tatara Masamune Nodachi, Yaqi Telstar. The Dart is the most aggressive of them. It's an outstanding safety razor.
LMAO! I just spit my tea across the room. I guess it is a form of playing with yourself. Big Smiles!

Its interesting that the Blackland Dart is thought of as aggressive. I just had my first go with one and had a great shave in two passes. Not once did ever feel that it would bite me. For that matter there was no blade feel that I could discern.
I guess the two passes must be aggressive as far as that goes. The Dart feels much safer on my face than the Blackbird, that thing feels like it will bite at the slightest chance.

An old Gillette Old Type is a nice one.
If you're ready for the big time, get a Scheermes Roedter 1909 Titan - aka the "razor blade on a stick".
That exposure is set out there to grab.
The Lord OC is also a nice one if you can live with the base plate being plastic.
If you can find the Fine Marvel it pairs well with a Derby. Either Derby.
My first Fatip was a Piccolo that was with a Roedter head by mistake. Indeed a blade on stick. But I learned to shave with it without problems. And after some 5-6 years I realised it is not an MKI but a Roedter.Always nice to see the meticulous precise Italian engineering on this one, right @ivan_101
That is when I bought two MKI Fatips and they are my preferred version.
The Lord OC can't be compared to those razors. It is milder than the 2013 R41. The latest R41 is milder than the Lord though.

The Roedter is a very interesting razor.
The Ikon B1 Standard is even more efficient.
If we're going down the rabbit hole to the, here's the insane choices, then that would probably be a fairly recent frankenrazor I tried. A #162 Goodwill top cap on the Yaqi Harlequin bottom plate.

The Roedter is a very interesting razor.
Blackland Dart Polished (IME, it's noticeably more aggressive than the machined)
My suggestion (as recommended by others on your thread:
Yaqi Slant aggressive
Merkur Futur on it's highest number setting for maximum aggressiveness
I had the Yaqi and it really gave a nice shave but it was scary if you weren't paying attention. I sold it!
The Futur was interesting because it was aggressive even on the #1 setting. On it's top setting it was
too much for me! And I like aggressive razors!
