More aggressiveness.

[tgarza]

I am looking for a really aggressive DE razor if not the MOST aggressive DE razor, just to know what it's like. I currently use a Merkur slant w/ feathers(my fave so far!). I have used my Fatboy and Slim both dialed up to 9. Still looking for more.

Mulhe R89 old type open comb is the most aggressive DE I tried. More aggressive than a slant!

Is this razor still in production?

If your looking for something more aggressive than an adjustable on 9 or a slant with a feather, I suggest you contact Ambrose about a shave ready Straight.

I just got one from here a few weeks ago. No longer in production.

I've not tried a Slant, but if there's a more aggressive DE razor out there than an R89, I'd like to see it. The R89 offers you no quarter.

How would a Fatboy or a Slim compare to a Futur on 6?

Being kind of new to the scene the only thing I have to compare with my Futur is a 34c, which most regard as rather mild. Comparing the blade gaps on the two with the Futur on 1 is a big difference.

Have you tried snapping the guard off of one of your razors?

WWII army bakelite slant is the most aggressive DE I have ever used right above the gillette old type. The straight razor can be much smoother and enjoyable to use.

 

[tgarza]

well, just ordered a Muhle R89.

 

[ambrose]

that will work

You found the old model? That's good. The new R89 is not as aggressive...

Check post #30 in this thread to see the difference.

The old R89 takes the cake in my opinion. I have yet to find a more aggressive razor.Very unforgiving,but strangely alluring.

You got the new R89 or old R89? The picture on their website shows the old one! If that's the one, you're in business!

It is the old one. I got one from them recently too.

A Barbasol is a mighty aggressive razor, especially when loaded with a Feather.
The only razor I own that I won't shave my head with.
