Where to buy the "newer design" MUHLE R41 Razor

[Mason_07]

I often see a lot of discussion on B&B about the MUHLE R41 razor and especially discussing the differences between the 2011 and 2013 redesigned head. With all the talk about this razor, I too have been interested in trying one out. Not wanting to go with something overly aggressive however, I naturally am interested in the most recent ("tamer") head design. It seems that searching online for "2013 Muhlr R41" doesn't give you any luck in terms of finding a vendor that distinctly advertises selling the newer design. Not wanting to take a risk at blindly purchasing one of the older more agressive models, I decided to go to the MUHLE and ask a question about what they currently stocked.

I submitted a message on the company's website, and received the following reply:

"thank you very much for your e-mail.
We have launched the redesigned version of the R41 razor in late 2011.
The former razor that is indeed a bit more aggressive than the refined version. We no longer sell the 2011 version and if you order now, you will be receiving the new design."


With this information, at least you know that you can buy the razor online at the MUHLE site and be sure to receive the newer design. I thought that others might also be interested in this info so that it takes out any chance of getting old stock from other sites, having to deal with doing measurements, and other inconveniences associated with not getting what you intended to.

I shaved with that razor today. What a DFS shave!

One place I know of that carries the 2013 R41 is Connaught Shaving: http://connaughtshaving.com/
I am sure there must be other B&B supporting vendors carrying it as well.

Connaught Shaving or Shaving.ie. I got mine from Connaught.

Shaving.ie is where I got mine. Fast shipping also, considering it came from Ireland. I'm getting ready to order another one from them in the Rosegold. Love the R41!!!

+ on shaving.ie where I got mine. Great price and service.

I ordered mine (R41 2013 model) from Connaught along with a silvertip fiber brush (olivewood handle). Was significantly cheaper than direct from Muhle. Love them both. My biggest mistake? Regular shipping as opposed to faster shipping with a tracking number. The wait seemed endless.

Ordered mine from shaving.ie also.. Great prices. Got the Rose gold and the m89 rose gold silvertip badger to match.

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I just placed my order on shaving.ie. (great price)! I'm definitely looking forward to receiving my R41 in the mail and giving it a try!

Congratulations! I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. I find that sharper blades (Super Iridium) work better for me than blades such as Astras, but as always YMMV.

Just ordered mine from NKDman, cheapest on nthe web for delivery in blighty.

I ordered mine from http://www.shaverhut.com.au/. They are based in Richmond (in Melbourne, Australia).
Arrived in the mail the day after! Their customer service is Great!! Can't speak highly enough of them! They only ship Australia wide at this stage.

I'm now a couple of weeks into shaving with my new 2013 R41, and I couldn't be happier. It took me several rough shaves to get the hang of. Once I cleaned up my technique a bit, it's since provided close and comfortable shaves paired with my Feather DE blades. It gets the job done faster / smoother than my favorite EJ DE89. I've been so happy with it that I haven't shaved with anything else in nearly 2 weeks!
