Almost finished my week of shaving exclusively with the R41 and that Feather blade (even though this is my first S.O.T.D. here, sorry for the delay). Great 2-pass shave with no irritation whatsoever. I think I've got this razor figured, it'll probably disembowel me on the next one...

Cheers.

Sergio.
