Razor advice needed

[David7307]

I have 2 TTO razors both Gillette, Blue and Red tips, the Red is supposed to be aggressive, i would like to find the same aggregation as the red tip, from a modern 3 piece razor with a smaller head than the TTO ones I already have,
what would you experts recommend, bearing in mind, i don't want to break the bank account

Muhle R89 is beautiful for me. Maybe more on the mild side. Maybe a merkur 38c as well [emoji106]

Way too many variables to be able to recommend something. Everyone's idea of aggressive is different.

You got to try a few, there's no getting around the pain of paying to find out.

I know you don't want to break the bank, but ATT heads are wonderfully slim and manoeuvrable...Of course so are Wolfman's, But that's really breaking the bank

If memory serves me right and NEW OC has also a slimmer head and is definitely a step up in effectiveness

Would the Rockwell 6S be an option?

 

[Anthony Hunter]

Ikon Tech is a beautiful looking razor. Maybe a bit more aggressive than you are describing, however, the head is pretty small and efficient.

Would the Rockwell 6S be an option?

6S has a bit more size to it than the ATT razors. Wonderful, but not what I would class slim. Still highly recommended though. You could always pick up an aluminium ATT for around $96 US ex. shipping.

+1 or a Rockwell 6c, Mergress Adjustable Safety Razor or a Parker Variant Adjustable in Satin Chrome (don't get the black handle as the paint do come off after a while of used)

Yeah, I should shut up and stick with commenting on vintage razors

A Weber would be a good choice as well but they are hard to find and will cost a few bucks.

I have to share the sentiments above in regards to the necessity of trying a few out yourself to see what you like.

PAA Prismatic is medium aggressive (IMO), silm head like a tech and lightly scalloped. Love mine to bits and very well priced three piece razor. It is also based on a vintage Kirby beard and looks great.
As @Greenpike mentions here and I concur.

 

[GregP]

I'll chuck in a suggestion for the Standard Razor - I don't know how it compares to the red tip though, but I think it is a bit less mild than the DE89 head.

It also very much depends on the blade you're using. YMMV and all that

A straight

I am also debating on another razor.

+1 on the ATT Calypso Aluminum. Light weight helps maneuverability, different models, 30 day return
+1 on the Rockwell 6s or new 6c. Adjustable but "not small". Majority of users seem to like the 6s.
+1 on everyone is different. I had one of the razors recommended above, 3 shaves and eBay. Poor match for me.
Besides the size of the head, weight and length also important factors.

How did you go?

 

[Ferret619]

Not a modern razor but a RFB new should be suitably different and I find them to be efficient (I wouldn't call any razor aggressive as it's more the user imho)
When it comes to new razors... I'm looking at the Rockwell model T
