I see very often that people rank this razor as one of the most aggressive razor they have tried, if not the most aggressive.
I have a Le Coq Caged Head for a very long time, the most aggressive DE I've came across, a razor that I really enjoy to shave with. Only problem is that the blade exposure is not symmetrical so I looked for months for a Le Coq in better condition and I found one.
Only problem is that the new Le Coq is not aggressive as the old Le coq I have.
The question is if there are two versions of Le Coqs or mine (and the Le Coq that all the people that rank this razor as one of the most aggressive razor they have tried) is just a bagged up razor. Maybe the way this razor is designed made the head, with time, to curl up (the metal is relatively soft) and maybe the Le Coq is not designed to be aggressive.
This is a comparison between my old and new Le Coq, you can see the difference between the blade exposure.
The caps are also different. The left one is my old aggressive Le Coq. The pins length are different. I changed the caps and there is no significant change in the aggressiveness.
