Single Edge Aggresiveness?

Just starting into single edge razor shaving and have a question or two.

Gem and Star razors are basically the same except for name??

How would the following rate in the aggressiveness scale? Everyready "Shovelhead", Star 1912, Gem 1912 and Micromatic Clog Proof.

Would a Feather Weight, Contour or Push Button style be considered "mild"? If so, in what order?

Thanks in advance and enjoy those shaves
 
I'm going to chime in as a non-expert to say that my Pushbutton is much easier to use and achieve an irritation-free, close shave than my open comb micromatic. My Type J injector is as easy as the Pushbutton to use.
 
I've used only the OCMM, 1912, and Streamline. The 1912 is easily the least aggressive, followed by the Streamline, and then the OCMM. They all feel different, but can all give tremendous shaves.
