1st open comb shave after 1 year of shaving

[mda56]

Excited!!!!

Been wet shaving with a DE for about a year now every other day. Started with a minty 59 Fat Boy and quickly went to the Merkur 37c. Best shaves with Gillette Silver Blue and Crystals. I would consider my technique sound. I only cold water shave now.

My Muhle r41 arrives tomorrow! Here will be my shave.

R41, crystal blade, proraso pre/post as I whip up proraso green cream, proraso green aftershave splash (arriving tomorrow as well).

Any suggestions? Maybe use the silver blue blade or derby? I hear mild blades work well in this razor.

Thanks guys

I don't use my 2011 R41 too often, but when I do, silver blues, and feathers work best for me.
