Hi Mark - the Mellon in Stainless isn't overly aggressive. People rate it as more aggressive compared to the zamak version which is a bit unfair as the design is different. Provided you choose a blade that suits your shaving style, it will reward you with excellent, smooth shaves. It is a daily razor for me, alongside the Mellon Titanium - both are excellent heads.
Thanks for taking the time out to reply. Sounds great.

Cheers
Mark

Wilkinson TTO razor
Shark super chrome blade
Rite Aid chrome blades
Omega boar brush
Old Spice shaving cream
Aqua Velva musk aftershave
Bod Man Black spray cologne

Hot shower prep with Old Spice extra clean bar soap.

This was a complete three pass shave complete with blade buffing around my trouble spots. I'm really falling in love with the scent of Aqua Velva musk now that the season is nearly done. The Bod Man Black adds a little extra complexity.

Gentlemen, have an excellent weekend.
