I have the standard AL13. I didn't know they had different levels. My beard isn't super thick, but not sparse either. I can shave a full weeks growth (4-6mm length) without issue. My previous razors would clog a fair bit if I did the same and I'd have to take less per stroke and rinse more frequently.

I couldn't resist. I went ahead and bought that AL13 aggressive after reading and watching a bunch of reviews. It's great. It holds the blade more firmly than the Merkur and shaves really smoothly without pulling. I would like it if it were a bit heavier, but it still feels good in my hand. Thank you for the recommendation.
