The 2013 R41 is an excellent razor, though I certainly didn't like the 2011 version, which was much harsher. Even a Gillette adjustable on 9 would not match the R41 for aggressiveness. The only razors I've tried that match its aggressiveness are the Merkur Vision and perhaps the Futur.

To answer the OP's question: I also have some vintage razors and some new ones. The best of the vintage ones are the SE's and the Gladweg pushbutton. The new ones I have are the 2013 R41, the Standard, Futur, Vision, and some cheaper ones. They're all pretty good, but I'd give them all up before I parted with my SE's and the Gladweg.
