Hello guys, I made a thread yesterday asking if choosing a merkur 33c would be a good razor choice as I only own the lord L6 at the moment. I wanna try something different and i wanna hear some opinions as to what would be step up from the lord l6, I'm looking for a more aggressive razor. My price range is $40 but you can also suggest anything a bit above that price. I was looking at the EJ89 but I heard it's a bit on the mild side, and also considered the Parker razors. So guys what do you recommend.
Agressive razor recommendation
- Thread starter Phoenix.
- Start date
Red Tip Gillette Superspeed. Go vintage. I like them much better than most newer razors.
Want agressive- Go Fatip!
A good choice. I have an A2 that I rather like. I get a BBS without too much risk of doing myself an injury. It's aggressive, but not too aggressive - a good first step on the way to a Futur. Who knows, you may fall in love and stay with it.
Amen and just about any Open comb Razor will do.
Pick up a single edge razor. I love my G-Bar Heavy Flat Top.
Short combed NEW.
Try a Slant!
All good recommendations - I would take a pass on the Parker however - chances are, you would receive one that would be of mediocre build quality, if not worse.
Vintage = RedTip, open-combs such as the Old Type, Single Rings, NEW, NEW Standard,
Modern = FaTip, R41,
Modern = FaTip, R41,
Yep, Red Tip SS is what I was going to say.
The EJ DE89/Muhle R89 is extremely mild. I would try the Merkur slant if you want a razor that is more aggressive without getting too crazy.
You can get an R41 delivered for €29.78 ($36.71) from Connaught Shaving.
I've shaved with one the past 4 days...awesome. Two passes and some insignificant touch-up.
Be advised, it is probably the most aggressive non-straight razor you can find.
I have a red tip and a FaTip, and they are also very nice, and despite my love for old razors I have to tip my hat to the FaTip.
You could also get a Gillette Slim or Fatboy and use it on 9. I start with 9, then 7 on my 2nd pass, then 4 or 5 for touch-up.

The old model Fatip R89.
Nice Sheraton or Red Tip
Ball-end Old Type is pretty edgy. You can pick them up on ebay for next to nothing, and a must-have razors for any collection.
