if it's too rough, you're too soft.There are many great stainless razors in your price range. If it were me I would look no farther than the razors below....all will provide R41 type close shaves, but with better comfort. I have a stainless R41, but never use it. It is very rough and uncomfortable to me when I compare it to my other razors.

Lupo 95
Yates 921-H (or M)
Tatara Nodachi
Vector
ATT X1
seriously though, try a sharper, high quality blade in the r41.
