    Rated on a scale from 1 to 10:

    Feather Popular - 1
    Mühle R89 - 3
    Gillette Rocket HD - 4
    Gillette NEW LC - 6
    Fatip Grande - 7
    Mühle R41 2011 - 10

    YMMV of course. I would call the NEW LC fairly aggressive, but not overly so.

    Schick injectors give a great shave, but between the per blade cost and lightness of the razor, I much prefer vintage Gillette's.

    The Schick repeating razors A, B, and C types, are much more to my preference for weight, but I found them to be a bit more aggressive than I prefer. That was a number of years ago, so my opinion of the shave would probably be different today.

    Let us know what you think about the Schick ? I've got one as well and will try it sometime on down my shaving road.

    I did get it. I've been using it after every shave. I'll post my thoughts on it after a few weeks of use.

    Thank you again for letting me try it.

    I've got an old SC and a new LC, I really prefer my late 40's SS and my Red Tip. I never have got the quality of shave out of either that I prefer. To each his own though.

    Indeed ... because I do not like the SS head profile at all. Give me a Gillette three pieces razor any time please.
