Thanks for the info.

The aggressive is a bigger jump as mild to medium.
Mild - Exposure: 0.0013"
Medium - Exposure: 0.0023"
Aggressive - Exposure: 0.0045"

I will try to unscrew the head 1/4 or less to make it more aggressive.

Aggressive is AL is worth to risk because it’s quite cheap in comparison to TI.
But I will wait a bit.
Want to buy the medium in TI first.

My apologies to everyone. The link I had originally posted was from a Wet Shaving YouTuber and not from Henson. I removed the link. This person is trying to gather interest so that Henson will produce an aggressive razor in aluminum like they already to in Ti. I contacted Henson and they told me they are interested in the results, however. Still, it was inaccurate information and I removed it until I can determine its usefulness.

Don’t worry, Doc Dan.
Would be nice if it would come out.

Used my medium yesterday and loosen the head 1/4 turn.
It was a very nice shave. 2 passes - done. Much better as the mild.

I have been using a Shark blade. With the Shark and the Feather I do not need anything more aggressive.

Well, I now have a list of blades that I really like, after experimenting. The Feather was the one to beat, but I found a couple that actually make a good substitute.
1. Feather
2. Nacet
3. Shark
(2 and 3 could be reversed, it is so close)
4. Astra green
5. Voshkod (for aggressive razors)

All of these work in my Hensons and they work in my Gillette Tech. I don't care about my other razors except to know a blade or two that will work in them.

What is your list? I may find one I need to try.

Definitely Muehle.
They perform great in the Muehle razors like R89.

I tried some others but nothing I liked much. Maybe more related to my bad technique back then.
