Agressive DE razor question

[FloridaCreekIndian]

I recently acquired a Muhle R41 twist and absolutely love it. I also have a Timeless .95OC, ATT with H plate, and a newly acquired Gillette Slim adjustable that is pretty aggressive on setting 9.

My question is, what is the most aggressive "quality manufactured" DE razor that would compare to the R41?

I'd say you already own it but others may say the open comb Schöne which is a modified Fatip. I haven't tried one yet but I know my R41 is a beast. Have you used a Gillette New Improved?

There are some gnarly old Eastern bloc razors that are aggressive but don't really fall into the "quality built" category.

I hear the Charcoal Goods level 3 is up there in aggressiveness.

I heard the same thing regarding the Charcoal Goods level 3 head which will be on my list. I also have a Mergress with bronze knob that I love using on the higher settings.

Ikon Shavecraft Tech

Does the Ikon shave pretty smoothly or is it just an aggressive beast?

Not modern but my Barbasol Floating Head is pretty aggressive.

So True Mark.. The Charcoal Goods Level 3 OC makes my R41 look like a ***** cat! I call it " The Beast " and it is the most efficient razor in my den.. The only razors that I haven't put it up against is the Ikon Tech and The Grande Fat Tip but they better be a lot more efficient than the R41 to hang with " The Beast " !!
LOL

I would put the R41 at the top of the aggressiveness scale! (Too much for this old guy!)

While I do not own one, some might argue the Merkur Futur to be pretty aggressive.

Ikon Tech!

My only two DE razors are the Mule R41 and Futur.

Most to least aggressive (IMO): Parker 3 piece w/guards removed, 2011 Muhle R41, Rockwell 6s w/#6 plate. Too many to list after that.

 

[Rico Suave]

The PAA Doc Evolution is very aggressive.

I have the Merkur Futura and use it a good bit when I miss a day or two shaving...
You can dial it in to what you need IMO...

I find the Ikon Tech on par with the 41 but smoother and the CG level 3 smoother still.

I have an Ikon Tech on the way as a loaner from another member. I will probably jump on a Charcoal Goods level 3 the next time Brian offers them for sale.

You won't regret getting the CG level 3 and if you can pick up a level 2 baseplate. It makes for a very comfortable shaver but is still very efficient and kind of like a NEW Deluxe if I was comparing. I think Brian is close on releasing some new items and I can't wait.
