Where do the Gillette Super Speed and the Schick Silver Tip Krona fall on the mild - aggressive scale?
Medium mild, I'd say. What I will say about the Krona, while mild, is that it is extremely efficient. Paired with a sharp blade, I can get a CCS in a pass and a half.
I believe all DE razors expose both sides of the DE blade.What's the point of having two sides that expose the blade when you're already using one side? I don't get that......
Which Super Speed?
The different Super Speeds are all over the map, as to degrees of aggression or mildness.
Across from that number in the left corner, there is a letter.All I find is the number "4" on the underside of mine.

It was made in the 4 quarter of 1955.

It has more blade gap and slightly more blade exposure than earlier generation Gillette TTO's. TTO's made from 1940-1947 have the the least blade gap. 1948-1950 have a little more blade gap. And 1951-? have a little more blade gap. Not sure of when the changes came after '51, I prefer the first 2 generation Gillette TTO's.OK, so does that date code make mine fall into the mild or aggressive category?

The differences between the generations are small but noticeable.
