Which razors do you prefer that have afair amount of blade feel, yet not too agressive.  One razors I feel fit this category is the Rockwell Model T

For me, the largest contributing factor to aggression is blade feel. They are almost synonymous terms to me. So I'm not sure if I'm answering your question. But for me, high blade-feel razors I like would be: Blackbird, H&S p076, and Carbon w original plate, Charcoal Goods level 2 and 3 (especially 3). I might also add the Rex Ambassador, Tatara Nodachi, the new Lupos (72 and 95) as well.

Have to concur with ALI. High blade feel means more aggressive shaver. Two that come to mind that have high feel but not Gem Micromatic Danger are Merkur Futur on lowest settings and Muhle Rocca.

I tend to agree.  I equate blade feel with aggression.  Not necessarily with efficiency.  Here's a new razor to add to the argument, though.

Not necessarily true blade angle will also affect aggressiveness. One vintage razor that comes to mind is a Cooper Monobilt. Lots of blade feel but it scrapes more than cuts because of the blade angle.

I would also add that GEM Junior fits that description. It seems to scrape more than it cuts

I’d have to say I associate blade feel with aggression too. Black Bird would be the number one pick here, with the Tatara Masamune having a good balance of blade feel, but not too aggressive. Nodachi has more and would be my pick over the Black Bird. Still, I love the aesthetics of the BB. Can’t agree with CCG Lvl 2, and never tried a 3. Still awaiting Lupo .95. The Weber PH has a good mix. Many razors I suspect I haven’t found a good blade for yet, or just not ready for whatever reason for.

I was looking around to see if there's a thread on the most efficient DE razors, is anybody knows of one on here could they clue me in?
  As far as blade feel the Ikon Tek and Charcoal Goods Lv3 OC which is not made currently. Just a couple that come to mind but I like them.

I've never seen one, but it would be all over the place with all the subjective views. Might even confuse beginners. Smile
