Any thoughts on Aylsworth?

I'm specifically considering the Drakkant Ti. I have a Rockwell 6S but I want something a bit more aggressive. Does anyone have a razor from them? Is it solid quality?

I've never used a Drakkant (actually maybe I did borrow one from someone at one point... I don't remember), but they are solid razors. They're made by Yates Precision Manufacturing. If you haven't heard of Yates, they make their own line of razors, too.
- Thanks, now I'm going down the rabbit hole of all the custom options.
There was some recent controversy about Aylsworth. They are having the original Drakkant manufactured by Yates, and made a big marketing thing about it being made in the US. Newer Aylsworth models (not sure about the Drakkant TI) are manufactured in China, and Aylsworth wasn't making that clear
- So on their site they are pretty clear about the Kopperkant being made in China, but specifically say the Drakkant Stainless and Ti are made in the US. I will take a look though!
The Drakkant Ti is an excellent razor with a solid build quality. It's in my primary rotation of razors. I wouldn't necessarily say it's aggressive; more like smooth and efficient. I highly recommend it.

Edit: forgot to mention that I have the Drakkant Plus.
