    Neillite 400. They show up occasionally and usually in good shape, for peanuts.

    Icon Shavecraft Tech. Very aggressive. Probably more than anybody needs. I used this razor for about a year, now I've refined my technique and can get a great shave from mild razors.

    Some really good recommendations above. But FWIW, I will suggest a couple of razors that I deem aggressive from personal experience. In order of aggression for my shaves. Quickly, I'm a super aggressive razor shaver, I use straights and I've never met an aggressive razor I did not like.
    1. PAA DOC EVO S/S = This will take layers off of your epidermis if not treated with a light touch and absolutely no pressure. But if you respect it, few if any come close to the quality and closeness it provides. DE or SE.

    2. Asylum Rx = Aggressive and yet smooth and efficient. Closest thing to a straight in my estimation.

    3. Merkur Vision = These got a bad wrap, and maybe deservedly so. High maintenance prima-donna I'll admit. But if properly maintained and cleaned, this thing can mow whiskers with the best of them. Love mine.

    4. Gillette Old Type = Best combo of aggressiveness and comfort. It's the King. Still is.

    5. Ikon El Jefe = Yep, I know a blemished head and it has to be aligned precisely. But when you set it right, it is a great shaving tool. Close and comfy....

    6. The Brass General = What? It's a mild shaver you ask? Indeed, but it is so efficient and smooth. And paired with a Feather Super, shaving heaven. That's how good it is.

    There are more but those are the ones that I have had experience with from moderate to really aggressive razors. Honorable mention goes to......
    Parker Variant
    Merkur Futur
    Gillette Slim
    Merkur Progress
    Futur Clone Ming Shi/Q-Shave

    There are no truly aggressive safety razors. Shavette time!

    Lol! You are so right Bama! But I am not quite ready to make the move to straights just yet.

    Is this supposed to be from Muhle? I will restate that the item is clearly visible and available on their website as well as west coast shave etc.

    No, this was from Fendrihan. I guess all the Canadian vendors aren't carrying it anymore. I'll order from the official website. Thank you!

    Yep, the most aggressive non-adjustable injector ever, imo.

    I sure think the E2 takes that. The Injecto-matic never struck me as much more aggressive than a G, just more efficient.

    We'll have to respectfully disagree as gents on this. The E2 is my only remaining injector, my favorite, and for me it's incredibly efficient but not nearly as aggressive as the Injectomatic.

    Then again, I'd forgotten the Pal Adjustable set on Wide Open. Hoo boy.

    We will indeed. I'd disagree about the PAL Adjustable as well.

    For an aggressive shave I like the Gem razors. Most all of them are rather aggressive to me
