Not sure you want to shave your head with this one. Try with a straight first
Much to my surprise, I found that connaughtshaving has these in stock for just over $36 shipped to the US or $43 / €29 when shipped in europe. The US being cheaper because no tax is added. That is a lot cheaper than the muhle webshop. I think it won't take long before I order one

I need aggressiveness comparisons in relation to the Mekur HD, Merkur Progress or the Merkur Futur (my current go to). I exclusively use Feather blades, if that doesn't sound insane. I've been on the fence about this or the R89, as I do not like the lined chrome on the EJs, but would consider the DE89 or the DE87.
I don't know what setting you use for your Futur but the new tooth comb is aggressive. I have a Futur that I use on 2.5 or 3 with a Feather and the R41 is definitely more aggressive than that. I haven't tried using a Feather in the R41 yet, only a Personna Medical Prep which, to me, is less sharp and more forgiving, and I still had to be very careful and use just a little pressure. However, it does give a nice, close shave.
I would say that the R41 is equivalent to the Futur on a setting of 5 or higher. I haven't shaved with the Futur on a setting that high in a long time so that's my best estimate.
The new Muhle R41 = straight in disguise (in particular when paired with a Feather blade)
How does the R41 compare to the merkur 37c? More or less aggressive? I can't do feathers in the slant, I get weepers.
I'd say more aggressive. I can use Feathers in the Slant, but not in the new R41.
