Pre-shave:- Warm rinse / Proraso White pre-shave cream
Brush:- Stirling Soap Company Finest Badger
Soap/Cream:- OSP Barber Shop cream
Razor/Blade:- Muhle R41 / Shark Super Stainless (1)
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Epsilon Blue aftershave / Barts Balm Grapefruit and Pink Pepper
My first venture into OC razors today...and no pussyfooting around, straight into the deep end with the R41.
All I can say is......what an awesome performer. Listening to everything I had heard about this razor, I made sure there was no pressure and no lapse in concentration.
3 days growth disappeared without the slightest bit of effort. The end of the first pass had me in DFS territory and by the time I had done my third and final pass I was squeaky smooth.
The slightest burn from the Epsilon, but it was of those “by Christ (that's) good†moments.
The Shark blade was smooth and certainly earned its crust during my first pass. The blade feel from the razor seems to be on another level. Not intimidating, just letting you know it needs your attention or it'll bite.
This has to be one of the damn finest shaves I've had in a long time, including my OneBlade Genesis. For my first outing with the R41 I'm now looking forward to round 2! [emoji1362]
Have a great evening and enjoy your weekend folks! [emoji1303]
