    I've read that the old style Muehle R89/R41 open combs are more aggressive than a Slant, but I don't know from personal experience.

    I'm not sure how to define aggresiveness, but my NEW's give me a closer shave with fewer passes than my Slant. Though the Slant has a fearsome reputation, I find the shave much like my HD. O.K., but not remarkable.

    Regards,
