This is brilliant! A really good idea and some great information. Well done all.
I was fully content not ever trying one of these. Now, it seems like I really need one...![]()

Same thought was just crossing my mind!!!

Yup, those caps are quite impressive. I'm looking forward to No. 6's future innovations ...
If you already own an R41-2011, which I believe both of you do, you could go to your grave w/o ever trying either the Spitfire or the Hurricane and your life would still be complete (well, mostly complete).
Both caps are really designed for 2013 users. When paired with a 2013 baseplate, the Spitfire delivers a shave that is nearly identical to the 2011 (I would contend the Spitfire is a tiny bit smoother, but the difference is minuscule and might be imaginary).
The Hurricane, paired with a 2013 baseplate, is smoother than a 2011 but more effective than a 2013. If I recall correctly, neither Craig nor Bill thought the 2011 was too rough.
Boaz, things will be positively radiant when #6 gets these caps out in metal!
I had my first Hurricane shave today. After months of 2013 r41 shaving I didn't expect the change in aggressiveness, but I can see with some adjustments in technique how it could be a game and routine changer. The two day DFS may be in my grasp.
+1 what Doc said. I left my Hurricane R41 alone for a couple weeks, and my next shave felt a bit rough... My touch became a bit less light using other razors. Took a couple shaves to get back in the swing.
My vote also would be to give a chance for a few shaves...
