What type of blade do you use ?
How much more aggressive than a super speed would you consider this ?
I've got a Sheraton, the gold cousin to the Senator, and I too find it to give it's best shaves on two to three days growth. I'd say it's a touch more aggressive than my Super Speed, but I think that's the nature of the open comb beast. Just have to be a little more aware of myself during the shave.
I use Astra,Kai, and feathers
Forgot that part of the question. I've used it with Astras and Crystal IPs. Had better results with the Crystals.
+2 I use Gillette Yellows or Astra Superior Platinum with the Senator and only use it if I have skipped a day of shaving. The Senator is fairly light (about the weight of a Superspeed). I find that razors with more heft work better for me. YMMV
I use iridiums with mine. Great, non irritating shave. It's my most mild shaver I use, but I go to it often.
I recently added one to my rotation. Used it with Feathers, BICs and Iridiums. It is surprisingly mild for a Gillette open comb. Still a very nice razor that shaves well.

Definitely a fine razor:

The moment I saw a Sheraton I knew that it would be the correct razor for me. Finally got one about a month ago, and it is the right tool for the job, no doubt. They are potentially dangerous, but as someone above said, that is just the "nature of the open-comb beast." I wear a small beard and these things are absolutely best for good beard-shaping.
Looking for a re-plater.
