I bought the Muhle R41 when I started de shaving, only used it once about a year ago, it tore my face to pieces. Gave up on it, my technique was not good. Today one year on I thought that I would give it another try. I really took my time on first pass WTG, not the smoothest of pass, continued with second pass WTG and then final pass XTG, my final pass is usually ATG but not with the R41 (coward
). After post shave Alum rinse there was a bit of stinging, I continued with whitch hazel then Myrsol emulsion my skin felt great good close shave. I think I will experiment with other blades and try to get a more comfortable shave.
Have a nice day.
