I posted a video review of the Parker 99R last week and I think it's a great razor. It's about on par with the Edwin Jager DE89 as far as aggressiveness, but it's about an ounce heavier. That weight with a somewhat mild head and a feather blade seems to really work well for me. I can easily get a BBS three pass shave with no irritation in under ten minutes. I like more aggressive razors too, but a bit milder is better if I'm in a hurry. I have dozens of DE razors and the 99r seems to stand out for me.
