How is that razor as far as aggressiveness? I have a first gen MMOC and it is pretty harsh I find myself passing it over for the Ever Ready all the time.

I'll admit I'm not good at describing razors in a precise way, but I find it comfortable and very easy to use without sticking or irritation. I'd say it's a comfortable but relatively aggressive two passes. Less so than the Blackbird SS.
