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.
