Does anyone know any good suggestions for a more aggressive razor in the 40$US or under price range? I'm also open to suggestions for a cutthroat razor but I am on a bit of a budget at the moment.

What blades are you using?
I mention blades because a sampler is easy on the budget
and can be educational.

Most blades change each time you use
them so keep tabs on each shave you get too.

Do not ignore the DE blades at the local market, Wallmart or
what ever. They can be inexpensive enough to where the price justifies one
or two shaves per blade yet the can be good enough for
three or four shaves.

And, you will want various blades from a sampler to try
in any new razor you pick up.
