1.Stepless adjustable settings(1 thru 7) can adjust the razor blade angle to determine how close you want your shave. Rotate the top knob dial under the razor head to adjust the gap between blade and baseplate. LOW NUMBER SETTING LIGHT SHAVES, good for beginners. HIGH NUMBER SETTING CLOSE SHAVES, provide aggressive shave.2.Hold the blades by the sides. Place the blade in the blade chamber. Give the handle a gentle shake to help seat the blade. Make sure the blade is centered from end to end and hold the razor head level. Twist the knob located at the bottom of the razor handle to close the blade chamber until completely closed and the blade is secure. Rotate the top knob dial to adjust the razor blade angle.

Here are some I know of that should be more aggressive that your average razor and are on Amazon...
Weishi Nostalgic Adjustable. $36.
The colors are nice, but I'm almost certain it's just a weishi. It'd be easier to tell if they listed the weight.

They look exactly alike. I'm not sure I'd pay $40 extra for a different paint job.
Amazon is where I bought the ones for my wife and daughters. You can also get the "classic" design at Sally's, don't know whether they have them in the store but it's worth a shot. I've seen them in the past at Wal-Mart but can't say if they have them nowadays. An excellent brand you can get on Amazon is Merkur, their Futur razor is adjustable but pricey at over $60. If you search for "adjustable double edge safety razor" on Amazon or Google you'll find several adjustables, but be certain to read the description because many of the ones that pop up when you do that search are not adjustable. The Weishi Nostalgic is about $25 on Amazon, it's the same basic design as my really, truly old Gillette Fatboy ( it's the one from 1950 on this Gillette web page), which to me is perfect. I've read good things about the Weishi and for the price I would try it out if I were in the market for one again. You can find old adjustable safety razors on eBay and I wouldn't hesitate to get one there, prices are okay there but not outstanding, then again those old ones are built like tanks and last forever. If you have a flea market or antique store nearby you might find one there--that's how I got my Gillette for a dollar almost exactly 17 years ago. Hope this helps!
Edit: I'm only talking about the adjustable safety razors here, I've seen the nonadjustable ones in any number of stores that sell shaving supplies, like Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc., but I highly recommend starting out with an adjustable.
Edit 2: There's a brand of blades from Japan named "Feather." Don't get them unless you get a Feather brand razor. Other than that feel free to try any brand you see, I like the Crystal brand (dirt cheap but great quality) and Gillette, Astra, Parker, Wilkinson, and I've even tried some weird brands I've never heard of before or since, they all gave me a great shave, but the Feather is problematic unless you have a Feather razor.
As far as adjustable safety razors go, there is also this one: http://www.rocnel.com/solid-316-stainless-steel-handle-diamond-pattern.html, but the price tag is totally different;
