I'm not at all satisfied with my Edwin Jagger. I need a good razor it's fairly aggressive because my whiskers are like barbed wire. So please recommend me a decent razor that's fairly aggressive.

Chiseled Face is out of my price range. Merkur is looking nice. They have a slant version as well.

I guess I should try the Japanese feather blades since everyone is talking about them.

Feather always gets recommended, but there are a lot of people who don't really like them (myself included). Don't box yourself in with blades. Get a sample pack and try a bunch.

Another aggressive razor I forgot about is the Muhle R41. I've never tried one, but it has a lot of fans.

I didn't know I could get a sample pack. I'm definitely have to check that out. Thanks.

I don't know which country you're in, but here's a good source. https://maggardrazors.com/collections/blades/products/build-your-own-sampler-10-packs

You just get a bit of a discount by getting a bunch at the same time. This link is for 10 packs, but they also have an option for 7.

Wow, that's awesome. Going to check that out. Thanks.
