Indeed? The extra weight gives it fine balance, I feel.That's my go-to handle for the R41
SOTD 15 Feb 2020
Pre-shave: Warm shower; Kiehl's face fuel.
Soap: Folk- Sandalwood & Vanilla.
Brush: Shavemac ' The Flat Top'.
Razor: Blackland Blackbird.
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (Day3).
Post: Fine Snakebite and Bioaroma Aftershave Balm.
EDC: Geo F Trumpher Sandalwood.
A lovely 2 pass shave, DFS+/BBS- no issues to report; I think I'm getting the technique down with the Blackbird, a reasonable shallow angle, riding just off the top of the cap.
The Folk shaving soap is lovely, used on holiday last year and on and off since then; the puck is quite small so I decided to use this like a soap stick - applying directly to my face before lathering witth a wet brush - worked well, very thick, protective lather.
Decided to finish off with the Trunpher Sandalwood - I normally only use that in the summer, however it matched the Folk soap a treat.
All the best,
Chris
Glad to hear you are mastering the Blackbird. A razor worth getting to know
