Have no clue what you mean there bro, but just ordered a H2, hope it's as good as you all say, that's a lot of $
I went from DE89 to AS-D2. You might think aggressive is good, but it might be worth trying something mild.
Coming from a DE89, I almost got rid of the AS-D2 because it was so mild. However, I persisted and instead learnt how to use it right. I don't think I can go to a more aggressive razor now. A few weeks with the AS-D2, and I tried the DE89 and couldn't stand it. I ended up selling it. I am always amazed that it is possible to get a close shave (I'm not yet at BBS) with zero nicks or irritation.
I have been using the AS-D2 over well over a year now and I'm still learning how to use it and learning how hair grows on various parts of my face and neck.
shaving.ie seems to have the best price at $170; however I have never made a purchase from them.

Got a feeling I won't be, rich mans shaving world now but I have been doing this for so long I feel I deserve it!
+1. The Fatip is worth a spin. Based on what you're looking for I think you'll like it.
+1. Fatip is amazingly smooth for an aggressive razor. At the risk of repeating myself ad nauseum, do yourself a favor and get a better handle for it. Sadly, UFO handles are no longer in production, but the Weber stainless handles (Bulldog or Classic) pair nicely with the Fatip, and the deep knurling makes for a satisfying hand-feel.

+1. Great suggestions. Pick one direction or the other.
I got a Wolfman and am very happy. The PROBLEM is that it took a long time (more than 3 months) on the list. Likely similar with some of the other modern SS brands. So you need something for the present IF you chose that direction.
Another thing to consider while you are making your choice: Why not contact EJ or your vendor?? They may well replace the head.
Everybody should have at least one old Gillette. They're great shavers and really well made.
