Muhle is launching a LE R41 Stainless Steel

[macintoshBR]

For those interested, I have just received a pre-order email from Muhle about the limited edition Muhle R41 Grande in 316L stainless steel, to be launched in celebration of R41's 10th year anniversary

316L stainless steel, 113 grams and 105.9mm length

 

[Beefdrippings]

Very interesting. Any mention of a price?

 

[WoS_]

130€

 

[Lefonque]

Hmmm.

 

[Trollky]

As a fan of the R41 I shall be all over that like a fat kid on a cupcake!

I received same mail this morning and I can not resist my AD. The waiting will be painful

Muhle seems like a split personality to me....their R41 and ‘89 razors are very high quality in my experience, I got 2 of their stainless Rocca models. One was the first version, one a few months ago, both had misalignment, curve - ‘smiling’ blade issues. I like the R41 and would consider the stainless version except for the repeated bad experience with their other stainless razor model. I will wait to see if there are any issues with this one before I even think about it.

It was time... I wish the price was a little lower, in the Rocca Range (€85-€95). However, it's a must buy. I wonder if, being the 10th year anniversary edition, it's a SS version of the original head but I don't think so.

That's too bad. Though I have only one Rocca, the all stainless steel version it is perfect and a fabulous shaver.

The R41 was probably the most efficient DE razor i've ever had, but somehow the shaves weren't as enjoyable or comfortable enough and it felt rough, tuggy with small blade chatter even with sharper blades. I kept mine for only when I need a fast shave with less passes, but them I've got a MMOC, which is basically an R41 on steroids, but also much smoother and comfortable and I had to sell my R41.

I'm sure those who like the regular R41 will want to buy one of these.

The R41 was my very first DE razor and I still have it. Great shaver (once you learn how to use it).

For the price, which back then was around €40 for the "Grande" version, it's a tremendous razor. That said, I have no desire to ditch out 3 times as much for essentially the same thing, just in SS. Makes no difference to me, as I very seldom use my R41 these days.

Looks like a cuter, less shiny 2013-R41 head to me. The cap is dummy wide suggesting it’s not a 2011 homage. If Yaqi would just release a stainless Mellon, the problem would be solved.

I have a 2011 R41. It's the fatip head with the narrower head cap which makes it extremely aggressive. I guess they made their own head in 2013 which is the current version?

Great looking!

This will be included in their permanent line-up or will this be just a limited production run ?

 

[Lostrazor]

In their global website there is no indication that this will be a limited edition.
They only saying that it's introduced on the 10th anniversary of R41.
(Same message for the English, German and French version of the website).
