Okay, I can't open the original thread but remember the OP started it with some spokeshaves. I never expected to post anything about this tool, especially on a barbeque forum, but the confluence was just too cool.
I have a tool called a razor plane. I got it as a teenager and used it to plane balsa wood for my model airplanes:
The "handle" is just big enough to fit a middle finger, although I usually held it by the sides.
The handle unscrews to allow you to add the blade:
You can't adjust the depth of cut, but like a shaver its set up to place the blade at the optimum "depth". The blade is not strong enough to plane regular woods, but on balsa it works slicker-n pig-snot!
And, I must apologize for whining about pic size. I had my camera set to .jpeg, basic, Small, (as small as my camera would go) and the pics still take a long time to load; it's the forum software and not pic size.

Note the open comb and extreme blade gap. Unmerciful my friend. But a true shaver for the manly men.

Check out this 1930’s prototype from Gillette. To say that we have came a long way is an understatement. I found this doing my nightly shaving research.
That is the real prototype. Found it in Gillette’s archives.

With that said, you can simply “shim” the latest version of the R41 and it’s just as aggressive as the former model. You can double shim it if you are feeling brave for even more aggression.
The current version of the Muhle R41 is still the most aggressive razor out there. It’s open comb and wide blade gap make it more aggressive than most can tolerate. However I feel the newer version is more well rounded than the original. The former version produces far more blade chatter on the face. This has been eliminated for the most part on the newer version, thus producing a more comfortable shave. This is especially important if you like to buff with a razor, and most folks do. It was almost impossible to buff with the original R41.

Tabac, what more needs to be said.
A couple of artisan soaps. Both are just as slick as Tabac and lather just about as easy.
Route 66 soap.
Stirling. Another top tier artisan soap.
Taylor Of Old Bond Street. A premier soap.
If you notice, I have the TOOBS cream as well. It’s one of the very best creams you can buy if you prefer cream over soap.
Here is the only other cream that I really like.
Captains Choice. A fine artisan cream.

Captains Choice “Large” lathering bowl.
If you want to wait a few weeks, they are coming out with copper “unbreakable” bowls as well.

A good scuttle will cost you a little money. With that said, I really like all the products from Dirty Bird Pottery. She does excellent work and will custom build if you so desire.
The one on the left was custom built to my specifications. It’s 5 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep. The one on the right is her standard large scuttle. It’s 4 inches in diameter and and about 3 inches deep.
