IMG_2125.jpegAnother brilliant shave with the R41
it’s a weird razor for me this one,
some days it’s a joy to use & other days i find it aggressive,
Today was a good one,
3 passes of luxurious creamy lather,
1 possibly two shaves to go & this cream is done.
It’s been a favourite of mine for sure although a bit pricey.
Enjoy your weekend guys i’m heading to Batam for a we Shin dig

Hmmm:unsure:, Not sure about that one, Finish was very good, however, i should have checked the shave number on this blade (#12), it began to feel "prickly" early in the shave - which is an indicator for me that it is about to drop off. I managed a 2 pass shave which left me with a very good finish, it was not worth doing a pick up pass. I also had a tiny creeper on my throat. Everything else worked flawlessly.
The alum check surprised me with very little indication and nothing from the splash.
Onwards and upwards.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all

A very pleasant shave this morning. A slightly thin lather from the Chubby, reminded me how much soap/cream a large natural hair brush needs to function well. No matter it was Taylor’s. Two easy passes and a splash of Hibernia to finish. A great start to the day.
