Has anyone tried swapping a different head on the 2011 R41 baseplate to provide a more curved angle? I love this razor but shaving the back of my head is a challenge to say the least with such a small window of breathing room. I'm going to continue using it but I'm curious if there is a specific headplate that you recommend using to improve its comfort level?

If only I had an r89 
Thanks!
I have a Merkur 33C, Gillette Old/New/New Imp/Tech. I think it's time to experiment.

I actually have my 2011 R41 loaded with a blade right now, with a Merkur 1904 cap. Hopefully it works out okay, I have loaded it to be used on Saturday so I will know then.
For what it's worth, I shaved with a Muhle R41 this morning and used the Merkur 1904 top cap. The razor is more tame this way, but still pretty unruly. The blade angle is still too aggressive for me though and the R41 is still not a pleasure to use. I'm not ready to get rid of it yet, but don't see myself using it often.
