Merkur HD: aggressive or not?

Of the razors ive tried , the HD is a fairly middle of the road razor on aggression.
Id place it about a 3 on my fatboy i guess.
 
i would say it's about mid-range on the Progress, so it's just about right for me.
certainly wouldn't call it an aggressive razor, and it gets a lot of recommendations by members so i wouldn't shy away from it or be worried about it being a face mangler

It is my go to razor. Always dependable and never lets me down. Originally I did find it a bit aggressive, but now I think it is just middle of the road.
 
The HD...it's not aggressive, nor in my opinion is any razor agressive in the hands of a shaver with proper technique. That said, I actually prefer the classic over the HD. I like the weight better. Read on however, I'm probably in the minority as most guys on the forums consider the HD the "standard" by which to judge all other razors.
 
In my view the HD is a perfectly mild razor - when used lightly with a sharp blade on a well-lubed surface.
Should any of there criteria not be met, however....

Cordially, AvT.
