One-year or so after its much celebrated release, is anyone using their Muhle R41 as a daily shaver?
Anyone using their Muhle R41 as a daily shaver?

Yes I have been using about 80% of the time. the remaining 20% I have used my MergressXL.
I know at least two people who do. I used to be a daily R41er, but the Fatip led me astray. I use the R41 probably once a week now.
I did for about 2 weeks, then went to str8s.
I shaved with an R41 daily for about six months. Now I rotate between straights, R41 and Merkur 38C.
R41 daily. With KMF Key Lime.
It splits time with my Merkur 38C
No says I!
It is my only razor, but I shave every other day.
It gets most of the days. The R41 is just too good.
+1, almost identical experience, setting the Mergress at 3.
I used it daily for three days. That was enough for me! Of course, I often wonder if I should get another one and give it another go...
I do, but the 2012 R41 which has a different head and is much milder than the 2011 and after.
Have so far used it four or five times. I don't shave every day, but the R41 is lead contender to be the upgrade from my old standby, my grandfather's Hoffritz.
You mean 2010, as per your signature line, right?
For the last month my EJ DE89 has been sitting idle while I have been shaving with my R41.
I usually shave every other day but for the last week, with so many new soaps/creams to try out, I have been shaving every day.I think with the right blades it is a great every-day razor and with continued use you can hone your skills for this fine razor.

Had one but sold it.
I use my 2011 R41 for nearly every shave each week. Sometimes, I'll rotate in one of my many razors that I haven't used in a while.
It has taken me almost a year of on and off trying it. "Things" finally came together and I now get excellent cut/scrape/irritation free quick shaves with it. I went out of town for an extended weekend, 5 days, last week and used it daily. It's now among the top contenders for nearly daily use, I do like to ratae around and try different razors so none will probably be a true daily shaver, at least for an extended period.
The learning curve on this one was much longer than anything else I had tried. I had similar learning problems with the Mekur Slant, but learned it quickly.
