What about adjustable razors? I know the Parker Variant has been well-touted and has a fairly diverse range of settings. Alternatively, there's a thread by @Kypros Christodoulides about shimming a Rockwell 6C on plate 6 which apparently makes for a pretty aggressive shave!
Some aggressive razors, from what I have tried:
R41 2011 and 2013
Fatip open comb
Sabi T2 and T1 closed comb heads
Parker closed comb heads
Merkur 37 Slant
Maggard Slant
Razorock German 37 Slant
ATT H1 (H2 too I suppose)
Merkur Futur (the blade gap can be huge)
Merkur Progress (at higher settings)
Medium aggressive:
Fatip Gentile
ATT S1 and S2 (more so)
Aggressive from what I have heard, but haven't tried:
iKon Tech
Parker Variant
R41 2011 and 2013
Fatip open comb
Sabi T2 and T1 closed comb heads
Parker closed comb heads
Merkur 37 Slant
Maggard Slant
Razorock German 37 Slant

Straight razors. Not DEs I know but if you are looking for more aggression maybe you should be looking at another platform.

R41 is amazing so far. Ive tried 3 straights and they dont work for me.
I think might give it another go.
Not the smoothest head for me, so I can't really comment. It would be great if you could try before you buy

YMMV, what one person will consider mild another will find aggressive and the other way around, it's so subjective. Do you want some thing the shave you really efficantly or do you want something that will bite you and make you bleed ?

YMMV's username explains this perfectly. I don't find the Merkur 37C aggressive, personally. I've found it entirely efficient when the correct angle is managed. My more aggressive razor is a Thomas Clipper Mk1 DE. It's got a decent blade gap, akin to the Mingshi Futur on level 4-ish. I prefer more 'aggression' but it mainly comes down to feedback for me. If I don't get enough feedback I don't like it, simple!

Use more pressure with your shaves, that'll cut your hair down to the skin and beyond
Lol, no thanks

I want something efficient like my R41.
The R41 is just out of this world for me. Im so happy with it but as you know, we all like more than one razor [emoji85][emoji1][emoji6]
