Most aggressive of the Gems ?
#1
I've been on the Hunt to get my next gem razor. I have a featherweight and a 1912 .I would like something on the more aggressive side . Would that be the Micromatic open comb? 

Mild to Aggressive : Contour 2, Contour 1 , Push button ,G bar , Feather weight, MM Bullet tip, Gem JR, 1912, Damaskeene , MM CP ,Damaskeene OC, MM OC. Is this ordering correct ?

Some people will say the MM there is not that aggressive. I think that if the technique is off that it can be a monster. If you want blade feel you got the right one. My most aggressive feeling of the SE world the MM. I have a Schick E2 and G-8 that are even more so. Glad you are looking for the challenge!!
Happy shaves to ya!

A lather catcher is toward the top my to get list. I've been going through lather catcher videos for research last couple months .Your gem jr bar video was awesome with explaining the 3d printed wedge and the blade angle.
