R41 Razor

Pros

• For example a Muhle R89 is a great daily shaver. Feels good while shaving each day, but stubble comes back quicker than with the Merkur 37c using it
• The R41 is also a great razor, but it is at the other end of the spectrum from your KCG. An R41 is quite aggressive in that it has a large blade gap and takes a good bit of practice to get comfortable with. For €15 it’s still a great dea...
• I do not have your facial hair type, so I don't not know what to recommend, but my r41 is my saving grace.

• Both the R41 and the Rockwell were much rough on my face during the act of shaving. Both put me on edge and were not very comfortable. The R41 produced a better final result than the 6S, a result I enjoyed - smooth as glass in all direct...
• And if the R41 is a bit too aggressive, look at a Merkur 37c.
