I am a long time wet shaver and have used the R41(both versions) over the years. The shaves end up being very close but the process was never enjoyable. The razor pulled and jumped no matter what soap or blade combination I tried. Today I tried again with my newly received Barrister and Mann Reserve Lavender. This soap is mega thirsty and takes quite a bit of time to get the lather yogurt like. Well I must say that with this lather and a new Gillette Platinum blade, the razor behaved like an R89. No pulling or tugging with an easy 3 pass BBS.
I debated whether to post this in the Razor or Soap Section but for now I will leave it here.
