Rank these Superspeeds agressiveness

I read the link about agressiveness/gap of razors but the list doesn't list the 50s superspeed as far as I know. So can someone rank these superspeeds from least to most agressive?

-40s notched SS
-40s no notched SS
- 50s SS
-50s blue tip SS
-50s red tip SS
-Gillette Black body

Also where does a Merkur HD fall into the mix.

Here's my guess.

50's Blue Tip SS
Gillette Black Body
50's SS
40's notched SS
40's no notched SS
Merkur HD
50's red tip SS
 
Here's my guess.

50's Blue Tip SS
Gillette Black Body
50's SS
40's notched SS
40's no notched SS
Merkur HD
50's red tip SS


I have only used the 40s notched, 50s ss, and a merkur HD. Out of those I feel that this should be the order.
50's SS
40'SS
Merkur HD

50's Blue is obviously before the 50's SS while the red is obviously after the 50's SS.
 
Great response and surely an awesome resource.

Your right that is an awesome source BUT I don't think it answers my question. Yes it may say the blue tip is mild and the red tip is more aggressive but it fails to rank the 40s, 50s, and black bodied SS in aggressiveness.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I guess really this just needs to list the 50s SS aggressiveness.

Also I feel that this gap method makes sense but there are other factors that may reflect aggressiveness such as weight. For example this link lists the 40s SS and the black handled being the same aggressiveness but someone can use both and say one is more aggressive than the other despite having similar gaps.

My aluminum Tech since it is so light doesn't feel milder or smoother than m 40s or 50s SS.

I would definitely rank the 40s SS (I only have notched models) as less aggressive than the standard flare-tip.
