Hey Mark! I just shaved with my r41 last night. I got an incredible shave without a nick! I learned the hard way years ago how to use this razor properly. I used a Gillette 365 blade and man was it smooth for me!! I used Muhle shave cream too! This is a very aggressive razor, but when used with caution and good technique, it is so efficient!! Glad to see you got thru your shave very well! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

Hello Mark. The aggressivityof the r41 had a development. The original first OC head was re-selled Merkur head (call it #0). Later Mühle developed it's own r41 head. This #1 and a bit later #2 were much more aggressive than later #3 and today's #4. This infos come from one German wet shaving internet forum. The exact years of bringing of concrete heads on the market can be found on the internet. Have a great shave and keep making your videos. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Hi Mark, I was always concerned about trying the R41 because of its reputation. Guess what, now it is one if my favorite razors. Even though it is aggressive, I end up with little or no irritation. Reason is that I have no need to go over problem areas over and over again. Have a Merry Christmas. Best regards, Glenn

Bravo Mark, what a terrific shave. It is noted that the head of the R41 seems almost identical to that of my Parker 24C. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar observation. Beyond that, the shave was very smooth and your advice about lightning up on the touch is well received at this end. I find that this helps with my 24C as well. I enjoyed your recent MMM and have not purposely been off the radar. Actually, I have seen pieces of many of your videos in last few weeks; just haven't signed in..will work to do better in 2023. I would like to agree with something that you like to point out quite often, i.e., that you've got great subscribers. Even without specific authority from the group, I am quite comfortable in saying that we all of us appreciate your energy and willingness to share your time and expertise. Of course, it is also fun, instructive and entertaining. Simply said, thank you. By the way, congratulations in advance for approaching 9K subscribers. That's enough preaching for one day...you have my compliments, kindest personal regards and best wishes for the holidays. Happy Days! Charles K.

It's a great razor. I started wet shaving with a 30s Gillette open comb in brass. The r41 is more chill than the old timer. Feather blades gave me an efficient, close, and comfortable shave.

Morning Mark. Thanks for taking one for the team so to speak, in using an aggressively known razor. I have a couple of aggressive razors and only use them occasionally. I don't see a need to chance tearing yourself up just to prove you can use it. I like shaving and don't want to change that. Newbies should know they can enjoy this task with equipment they can rely on to give a good smooth shave. Have a nice weekend and Merry Christmas to all.

Hi Mark. Great review. I could tell that you were really concentrating on the shave(similar to your r102 review). Any time the razor was touching your face, you didn't say a word. It's definitely not a razor you would use on auto pilot. I look forward to your thoughts as you continue to test this razor. I'm glad to see you get good use out of it.

The R41 was one of the earlier razors I bought during my wet shaving journey. I never had an issue with it and thought it’s aggressiveness was over stated. Later I purchased the stainless steel version and thought that it was a bit more aggressive. I don’t know why, maybe the heavier weight. I find that the more aggressive the razor, I prefer a lighter weights. Nice shave Mark.

I use my R41 for a first pass on 3 or more days’ growth and it is very efficient. For subsequent passes or daily shaves I use the R89 plate. This combo works well for me although I am looking for an adjustable to cover all options.

My first time I had so many nicks. It really put off. I’ve since used the razor the 2nd time yesterday and only one very minor nick. It’s a very handsome razor but tad too heavy for my liking. It will be my main razor until I can afford the Rex konsul slant adjustable.

Wonderful shave Mark! Glad you were able to use the R411 without a problem. I have the R102 (R41) and I agree that it's not an everyday razor. I have used Feather blades and I didn't have a problem shaving my face or dome. I didn't have the trepidation using that combo because I use straights and shavettes and that's as aggressive as I can get. Lol! Again, have yourself a Merry Christmas!

Geofatboy say that the correct angle for that razor require that the base,the blade and the cap touch the skin togheter, so the same as most other razors, while another reviewer have said that the base plate must don't touch the skin.

Nice shave, Mark!! Looks as though the R41 may be as aggressive as the Outlaw razor. I've read that the Muhle R41 is an aggressive razor so I've always stayed from it. So glad to see it worked out well for you. Is the Muhle R41 also available in a closed comb razor and is it just as aggressive as the open comb razor? Merry Christmas to you Mark, and to all 8.74 thousand Subscribers!!!!!🎅

Nice shave. It’s an iconic rite of passage razor but not for me. Some people say they love it. There are more comfortable razors that are just as efficient - ie Blackbird. How is it against the Dart? But for the money it is efficient and looks nice.

Congratulations! No nicks and a BBS shave. Aggressive razors aren't for me. I shaved with my Henson+ this morning. That razor does require 3 passes and pickups to get a BBS result. But I don't have to focus as much when shaving and it's almost impossible to get nicked.

Hi Mark, I must have missed it, but what's the advantage of using a buffer ring? I have yet to try an open-comb razor. Maybe with a Derby Extra blade I could give the Muhle a try.

Bob, as I understandit, the buffer ring will prevent any marring or scratching of the base plate. There may also be anadvantage inkeepingthehead more secure...not sure ontht one, jut a hunch.

It’s just a pre shave product. Claims to soften beard, provide slickness & helps soap lather more. I haven’t tried the cube 2.0 but I’ve tried Proraso pre shave & pre shave oil & don’t notice any difference with them.

It prevents any marks between the handle and the baseplate that may happen over time if the razor is overtightened. I recommend the buffers for vintage 3 piece razors to keep them in better condition.

I was not impressed. I bought it because I wanted to shave just once a week. I used Personna blues as I do in all razors and it just tugged. It wasn’t smooth. Lots of blade feel but it didn’t cut that smooth. I didn’t cut myself at all. The angle was fairly easy to figure out, but it wasn’t great. Now I have a 50 dollar razor that I don’t really like 🤷‍♂️
