- Thread starter something better
- Start date
I'm wishing you a great debut!Glorious
To summarize today's shave with the GS in just three words:
A ma zing!
Just got my R41 head from Shaving.IE. Letting my stubble grow a few days to give it a good test.
Wish me luck!
Wish me luck!
Good luck I know you will be fine
Cheers.
Well holy jumping catfish Batman, just finished taking the Beast for a spin and I think I'm in love. Other than a couple of minor nicks came through quite well. Gotta say, this is the best damn shave I've ever had! So of course now I'm lusting after the stainless beast. Thanks for all the great advice in this sub forum. Also, I'm in. If you're still taking members.

So glad it went well for you, it will only get better
Thanks! It's getting kind of silly, now I have four razors I really like so it's a challenge to decide which one to use. Talk about an embarrassment of riches!
Hello fellow shavers.
I would like to ask for some advice please.
Background:
I currently shave daily or every 2nd day using a Muhle R89 with either a Feather blade or a GSB. The razor has worked perfectly for this over the last few years resulting in a 2 pass DFS with no irritation almost every time.
My struggle comes in when I haven't shaved for a few days - 6 days in this case - and I try to get a decent shave.
I find that even with a brand-new blade the razor really struggles to cut through the long hair smoothly without tugging. After 3 passes I am still not satisfied with the result.
Do you guys think I should buy a Muhle R41 for the times when I have longer gaps between shaves. Is the R41 better able to handle longer hair growth...or is there a way around this by improving my technique?
PS: My facial hair is coarse and thick...
All advice and responses will be appreciated.
Kind regards

So, it would appear pairing the Beast with a Merkur blade is not the best option...
Very true
R41 GS x Feather. Wooza...
R41 GS x Gillette Platinum. Very smooth...
It does feel good after not using it for a while, you know how efficient it is
I just picked up the GS on Black Friday after not having an R41 for quite some time, and is it possible that this is better than the original?
