I used a Perma-sharp super this morning, which gave me better result then the Gillette bleue extra I used yesterday. I like this razor!

What I can say is that you feel the blade on your face so no toy for the faint-hearted - yet it's not uncomfortable and I haven't had a bad feeling about it. Plus, as the blade is exposed I could finally reach under my nose without too much acrobatics
Regarding it's agressiveness... yes it's aggressive but through: you are almost BBS after the WTG pass! Crazy....
The final verdict could be said in two words: unforgiving and perfect!
Unforgiving, because it really shaves everything off your face, so if you have any nicks, spots, blisters, birth-marks or moles that stand out of the surrounding surface then better reach for a milder razor 'cos this fella will cut it off in no time
Perfect, because it really shaves well and looks awesome.
One more thing, a sort of a suggestion: I would'nt list this on e-shops between Safety razors because safety has lost its meaning with this razor
