Step up from 34c

[Logik]

I've been using my 34c for the past two months, and I love it. I'm using feather blades on it, and on my 3rd pass going ATG I'm getting BBS.

I eventually want to move into straights, within the next 6 months. But as of now I am looking for a razor that would be a step up from my 34c. Maybe a slant? I'm not sure. This will replace my 34c, and will be used along with my straight (once I order that). I want to bump up my aggression to somewhere in between the 34c and a straight.

I'm not tied to any brands, and am looking to spend $100-. Give me any of your recommendations!

Gem Micromatic OC!

Muhle R41, it's very aggressive and looks sexy too.

+1 on the Muhle R41, known to be one of the closest DE's to a straight razor. Could try a gillette red tip, or a GEM like mentioned above.

a 39c or Futur, or, a GEM/Ever Ready SE, maybe even a Gillette New OC

I don't believe there is a step up from the HD. I think it is the best DE razor made. I will say the EJ DE89/ Muhle R89 razors are beautifully finished.

I have a 37C, a 39C and a Futur. If you want "aggressive" buy a Futur.

One step up , I'd recommend a Weber, two or three steps up Fattip Grande or Piccolo.
May as well skip the R1 and go right to the straight.

+1 The Weber is also stainless steel for a great price.

The Parker 3 piece razors are very aggressive. The models 97R and 94R are similar in size to the 34c.
