What is the most aggressive DE razor?

[Jray19306]

Good morning from the United States, B&B!
Completely out of curiosity, what is the most aggressive DE razor you have ever used? Any legendary razors out there that are known for their aggressiveness?

I just switched to an r41 2013. Damn that thing is aggressive, I like it! Couldn't imagine using a 2011. It got me wondering, what is the most aggressive de razor? I'd love to just get a look at one.

That Leresche is very nice looking.

 

[Jray19306]

The top one looks as though the blade would overlap the comb.

The previous version of the R.41 is about as aggressive a razor I have ever tried.

Muhle R41 2011 version.

Probably most aggressive method would be like this - one guy from our local forum has used Tech without bottom plate. I would say that he is crazy, and that such shaving is very very dangerous (and not to be tried)
But he survived...

My 1908 Big Boy is really aggressive,and shaves closer than anything else I have,the EJ Chatsworth barleycorn is very nice as well,cuts really close.

Of the ones I've tried, the 2011 R41.

The Muhle R41 comes first, but as eveyone has pointed that one out; Joris, H1 (Titan or Atlas), Merkur Slant, and fatboy on 10 are also pretty aggressive.

...As are straights ;D

The most aggressive razor I have ever attempted to use was this ladies Pomco:

​

I sold it to a member (on his suggestion) and haven't heard of him since... The razor was pure evil, it has one side as a slant and the other one is just aggressive. On the other hand I use a Feather AS as my daily razor and a Futur is too aggressive for me!

​

I try to steer clear of anything too aggressive as I don't need an overly aggressive razor.

most aggressive I've tried: Futur set up too high (for me); Sabi T1; and many may disagree, but New LC - though it was probably due to my poor technique, I was raw afterwards and haven't used it since.

2011 r41

I find my ball end Old Type to be quite aggressive. They're easily available and inexpensive.

Either my open comb Gem micromatic, which is a SE razor thus OT, or my Muhle R41 2011 version

i want that leresche bad. I work with a girl who used to live in Paris I am going to show her your pic. And ask her if she knows anyone who has one or can get one. If not I hope to stumble upon one online.

Old ball type aggressive? Talk about ymmv. I have three of the two in gold and one in silver. Nice weight in the handles. I am very fond of them and how they shave.
