Nice pif great razor though a bit to much to handle and I am euro so respectful not in.
I'm In. I have been thinking of getting an R-41 for the past 6 months. If I don't like how it shaves I will PIF it to someone else.
Hey wow this is super!!! Major thanks @Eben Stone this is very generous of you! Can’t wait to try it and will definitely report back on my experience with it!
Absolutely!I hope the winner @MrBeez shares his thoughts about his R41 shave experience with us.
Excellent and very generous PIF (respectfully not in, since it's already my grail razor! )
Now tell us @Eben Stone : what is the razor you are looking for as a replacement of the BEAST?
MrBeez, please tell us about your whiskers and your skin. Otherwise your comments on the R-41 have little value.Hi Folks,
Thought I’d give my first impressions of the R41 after two shaves….I love it! I’ve had two very smooth, comfortable, and efficient shaves. I used an Astra SP both times and plan to have another two shaves with that setup to sort of give me a base to compare to.
There is a lot of hype around this razor as being super aggressive - something to almost be weary of. But honestly, it just felt like an efficient instrument doing its job. Of course, I didn’t rush through either shave. I just went slow and enjoyed it immensely.
Looking forward to trying more blades and really getting to know this razor. Thanks Ed!
The last two shaves:

Hey @santamariasteve, sure thing. I would say I have medium whiskers. Not wispy, but not Thomas Magnum-course either. Basically, after two days of growth, they are beyond scratchy for my wife. My skin is more on the sensitive side.MrBeez, please tell us about your whiskers and your skin. Otherwise your comments on the R-41 have little value.
Are your whiskers soft, medium, or coarse?
Is your skin thin and sensitive, or normal, or is your hide thick and tough?
