That's what membership here seems to do to people! Having bought three Gillette OC razors since joining and finding them not so scary, I wanted to try the R41 current version to see how it worked for me. My guess is that it might be overkill as I shave daily so there's never that much beard to remove. I'll find out soon enough.I’m surprised you went for the R41–given your preference for mild razors. I’ll be interested in your thoughts once you’ve used it.
