    Just started shaving with a safety razor and love it. I was looking for info on what razor will be a more aggressive shave than the Giesen & Forsthoff TIM1353 that I have when I came across this forum. Now it looks like I will be sucked into the world of safety razors, thanks!

    The Muhle R41 would be more aggressive. And if you like your handle, you can buy head separate.

    I am checking out the Muhle right now. There has to be a whole section here rating aggressiveness of different razors. Hoping to read more about this but the Muhle looks like a very good choice.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forums. There are a lot of choices out there, from fixed to adjustable razors. The R41, as mentioned already, is well known for being aggressive.

    Hi! Welcome to the Den!!
    In NYC, eh? Have you checked out Pasteur Pharmacy for shave goodies? Never been myself, but I've heard that if they don't have it, you don't need it!

    Sorry for the belated welcome, but if you'd be willing to try vintage look at a Gillette Red Tip Flare .

    Welcome aboard. And to your original question do you want to stay with modern razors or are you willing to venture into the vintage realm.
