Although many have told me that it is a very aggressive razor and YouTube channels present it as a "harvester", I was not afraid. I used it the first day I received it after sanitizing it. I didn't see aggression, but a sweet and deep shave. Maybe the blade (green astra) matched well, but I didn't feel this aggressiveness from the raised edge. The blade protrudes quite a bit, of course, but it has enough downward slope to not bother me at all. Neither the alum nor the aftershave bothered me. It is worth its money and more.
