Hi,
Setting expectations - unfortunately I can't do this comparison, since I only have the R41. I am looking at a potential new acquisition and was wondering if anyone has the R41 and either the the Henson or Karve as comparison points.
I'm relatively new to wet shaving, starting roughly 10 months ago. Started with a Merkur 34C, which I found I could only get satisfactory results when paired with a Feather. I then tried the R41, which is great with most blades I've used (esp. Bic, Astra, 7 o'clock black) but I struggle with as a daily shaver. I can just about do it when paired with a Voskhod - good to great results especially if I go a day and a half.
With the Henson or Karve, my question is - for a given blade, where do they sit on the aggressiveness spectrum? I like the look of the Outlander, but everyone seems to be talking about the Henson. I'd like something slightly milder than the R41 and a bit more premium (but not Ti22 premium!).
Hopefully that makes sense!
Thanks
