What razors are in the same zone/area in terms of aggressiveness as a Gillette Black Beauty?

I know as it's adjustable, it's subjective - I keep mine pretty mild at number 3.

I think I'm more of a fan of fixed razors rather than twist to open ones.

Bearing in mind, while my Edwin Jagger DE89 is okay, I rarely reached for it, so much that it's up for sale.

Thanks
 
I've read that the black beauty is slightly milder than the Fatboy & Slim to the tune of one setting so a 5 on a BB is a 4 on the previous generations. If you like mild, the following might work for you:

Gillette Tech
Rockwell 6S/C on plate 2
Karve AA-B plate
Feather AS-D2

I don't have experience of all the razors above so take this recommendation with a pinch of salt.
