RE: Muhle R41 Razor
Hiya,
Just saw Jamie's loving tribute to that razor.....pretty funny there buddy. I know exactly what you were talking about, seeing as how you and I have similar tastes and opinions in razors and shaves. Sounds like that R41 is something for me to steer clear of for sure.
I think Jamie's right about it not being a question of technique or blade issues causing a problem, but rather the razor itself. Sometimes there's just no way to tame it to someones druthers. He gets that and is willing to move on without doing much damage. I always liked that about you buddy.
The idea of finding the right razor/blade combo means using a set up with just enough bite to do the job perfectly. Otherwise, we'd all be using a Feather in every razor we owned. And we would own some aggressive ones.
Thanks again Dick for providing the interesting piece of shaving crap to test drive. Been entertaining, as we both hoped........
Martin
