A new Haircut and Shave Co TI aggressive razor has been released.
Positive blade exposure with a .76 Gap/TI/95mm handle/400$ - Craftsmanship looks excellent like every other H&S Co razor before.

I have the .83 aggressive and the 1.30 aggressive in my den so I'm wondering how the new aggressive will shave and If it will live up to its name.
Im looking forward to the first reviews and comparisons to older H&S Co or other razors.

Is this the same head geometry as the po76? That is a decent shaver.

"Its an entirely new head (base plate and top cap) and will have a lot more bladefeel on this particular model" 
This was from a chat with H&S Co.

So should be totaly different to the P076.
Mabye he just likes the .76 gap but from the first read I was a bit confused too haha.

It has AGGRESSIVE printed across it just in case one forgets!
"4-prong" means just like WR2 I guess.

Corner posts means Kai blades won’t fit correctly and you’ll have to align the blade manually, or use a different blade. Same with a WR2 or Gillette Tech.

Hope andrewjs18 might get one for a pass around.   I'd be in for that.
   Aji is good like that.

So you mean normally the Kai blades are a bit loose fitting on those razors? 
I've not used enough those razor/blade combinations to get to that point evidently.
 Then again maybe I threw the blade in and without checking just shaved, hmm.

Very loose fitting. I don’t think many are aware of this and they don’t think to look for a misaligned blade. They probably just get rough shaves sometimes without realising why. But take a close look at how straight a Kai blade is in your WR2 or Tech (it can be straight by luck, of course), or open the razor and see how much the blade wobbles about.

The issue is that corner posts secure the blade by the blade tabs, and blade tabs are not standardised. Kai makes their tabs narrower than other brands. I always assumed that the Tech corner posts were Gillette’s last attempt to force shavers to use only Gillette blades.

Great to know I'll keep an eye out when I use a Kai in a Wolfman setup.
