Had my first shave with a R41 tonight, using the Derby blade that came with it. I prepared in my usual way, and used T&H soap and an Omega brush.
So, who won?
Well, the R41 shows a huge amount of blade. It looks a bit naughty. When you shave with it you sense it has a dark side; it does get stuck in and on with the job. I had a two pass shave, one WTG and one ATG. No cuts, no blood, no issues. Keeping a shallow angle meant a very close and pretty smooth shave.
I went straight in with AS afterwards and there was a little more sting than usual around my neck, but nothing too bad.
A keeper for sure!
