First thoughts what a gorgeous razor
I loaded up with a polsilver (brown pack) and stuck the weber handle on, good lather with TBS macca root.
3 pass shave and apart from jaw line got bbs, a bit tricky ATG on lip but relatively easy everywhere else. No nicks
Like mentioned you have to take your time, it's not like a tech or had where you can go a bit faster safely, too quick and your cutting yourself
I think it's a weekend or special occasion razor where you will get good results when you can take your time
I want one

Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow, along with my new brush (New Forest Tubby 2). I've been DE shaving for 4 years or so, and I'm now very confident with my current setup of an Edwin Jagger and Astra blades, but I clearly remember the first few weeks as a newbie where I seemed to cut myself on every shave.....if I suffer some cuts with this, as seems highly likely, I guess that I'll just have to accept that as part of the learning curve
Jamies said:Can anyone confirm if this little blood sucker is the 2011 version or one of the newer (tamer) one's that started to circulate in 2012 and now is the current R41 for sale.
I suspect it's one of the earlier one's based on my experience with it, which is why I'm interested in the newer one as it looks a lot more docile. However, I don't want to spring for a new one if it's same as the one that's already attacked me.
Could whoever's currently got it please measure the width of the top cap, across the flat of the underside, rather than around the curve of the top side and let us previous victims know. Thanks
