    There certainly are more aggressive razors than the red tip, but I find it mildly aggressive if that makes sense. I really like my red tip.

    Thats a great way to put it. I say it this way- a red tip is on the aggressive end of mild, but still definitely in the mild camp. Maybe just shades of perception. And I am also a big fan.

    Perfectly put. YMMV and all that.

    An injector with interchangeable plates is cool! Keep posting I’d like to read what you think about the different plates!

    I gave up on injectors, due to inconsistent blade sharpness, but YMMV.

    Today I tried a 46/49 ball end Gillette. For some reason (artritis) the handle felt very small and difficult yup hold onto. So, I used a maggard mr5 handle on the tech head. Man, I was stoked at the difference in the shave. 20180325_131825_resized(1).jpg

    That sounds awesome. Did the wieght of the MR5 handle change how the shave felt?

    I think it did. I'm gonna use it again tomorrow. But it felt, well, MORE. I'll elaborate more after further investigation.

    It might be the handle curves and size, more than the weight, remembering my grandmother's arthritis. My mother hasn't gotten that bad yet.
