I recall reading that there was an aggression scale or chart out there for the Gillette razors. I've looked around and used the B&B search function but have not been able to fine it. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks for the help! 
is there an aggression scale/chart for Gillette razors?

Thanks guys! Somehow I knew you'd know...
Please read, and re-read, the note at the top that mentions that blade gap is just a small part of what makes a razor "aggressive."
According to the chart, for instance, the Gem Micromatic is a very mild razor - something that anyone who has tried one would have a good chuckle at.
It ranks the NEW (a not-terribly-aggressive OC) alongside the Blue Tip (a mild shaver.)
The Merkur 38C is listed as milder than the 34C - this wasn't my experience and I don't think I am the only one.
