Best advice I can give about using the R41 is simple stuff. Well, simple if you think breaking the sound barrier was simple. Yeah, my suggestions are based on having to break through some kinda barrier, after a small amount of buffering is experienced. After that speed is reached, things calm right down.
Use the sharpest and most unforgiving blade. That will set the tone. Make sure you include plenty of blade buffing and j hooking, even if you don't usually include those tricks.
Then you wanna use looooong strokes. Finally, bear down like you would an M3 cartridge.
One month straight of that kinda shave will get you through the elusive shaving barrier.

Oh, one other thing to try is holding your cat in one hand while shaving with the other. That will help you to focus (an old ninja training trick).

Gillette Platinum Plus with open comb New (since the blade has a centre slot with no holes so couldn't fit it in my Progress!)

BBS shave with a couple of tiny weepers. Cracking blades. Could do with being a tad smoother; they're more like long-lasting Feathers.
