Hi guys. I just received a Muhle R41 Open Comb Grande. I just wanted to share my experience with it.
Ever since I got my Ikon a few weeks back, its all Ive been using. Recently I also received a FaTip which I sold because I really didnt like the quality vs price I paid for it. The Ikon is a solid razor. Its very mild and takes a few more passes and skin stretching but it provides a wonderful irritation free shave.
Now with that being said. I just had a shave with the grade with some polsilvers. I must say its quite an efficient shaving tool, I only needed 2 complete passes with touch up and thats all it took to get a wonderfully, smooth, irritation free shave.
As far as I could tell this razor is just a pleasure to use. I didnt need to stretch my skin, and on the tricky parts, where my hair grows at a weird angle, it made quick work of that area.
The construction is superb, the finish is flawless, and its just a wonderful tool to use. You may be put off by its size. But I think its very light and well balanced. I would have to say its one of the best razors Ive used. I shaved around 8 am this morning, and its about 5 pm and still feels pretty smooth.
My digital scale reads; 60.5 Grams for the handle and 28.3 for both head pieces. Total weight reads 88.8 grams. The handle is hollow with some pretty nice weight at the ends.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I would give this razor a 9.5 for first impressions.
