Nick: As a physician, this may interest you. Last year I had a difficult surgery, whose post-surgical complications kept me bedridden for four months. Last Christmas was about six weeks into this, at which time I decided to online order an R41 as a selfie gift. I had thought about getting one for some time, but I was mainly interested to see whether I had maintained/recovered enough upper body control to get my laptop connected to the institutional wi-fi, and get to a webpage where I could tap out a razor order. (It was an effort, but eventually successful, & I got a pack of Feathers along with the R41.) Eventually, I recovered more, and decided to get rid of a several months long beard. By that time, I had severe bed head, and the beard was equally wild. I looked like Santa Claus after sticking a finger in an electrical socket. So my first use of the R41 was to take this beard off with a Feather, and happily it was smooth and easy, really a one pass WTG shave, just like shearing a sheep. The R41's a nice razor, and I can't really understand its fearsome reputation. Best wishes for the holidays to you and yours.

Nurses didn't shave you? That's odd.

@guitarcleveland 5 лет назад

For anyone on the fence about buying this razor - don't let people scare you off from getting it. As long as you hold the razor at the correct angle with the handle more toward your face you'll be fine. People act like this thing will cut your head off. Whatever. Go slow and you'll be fine.

@stevensweeney9374 6 лет назад

Sorry you ended up cutting yourself a couple times. One thing I kind of like about it though is it shows that even when you get really good at shaving you can still get cuts every once in awhile so don’t get stressed if it does happen. As always keep up the good work!

@KingofWisdom 6 лет назад

I recently stopped shaving against the grain because I found the irritation wasn't worth it. I'm finding that the more aggressive razors shave me closer (because I don't want to spend several minutes performing a clean up pass on a milder razor). My Fatip Grande leaves a light shadow stubble, but the Ikon Tech gets rid of it (and gives me a shave almost as close as if I shaved against the grain).

Voshkod blades....The mad russian. By far the most fickle blade I've ever used. Has me in tears by the second use. So many better choices for me. Gillette Silver blues, PolSilvers, Astras...If you need sharp, I'd go with the feather.

@michaelandcolinspop 6 лет назад

Jeffrey Ramsower I totally agree. I know Voskhods have a fanatical following, but I've never gotten the shave out of them that I've gotten from Astra SPs or Gillette Silver Blues. Even the Dorco Prime Platinum works much better for my beard. I didn't care for the Voskhods at all, which was really disappointing. I'm just glad I only bought a 10-pack and not 100 of them.

@Akis_101 6 лет назад

I can't shave with Voshkod either. ... of course in wet shaving everything is subjective. ..

@frankholmes5431 6 лет назад

Nick, the R41 requires less speed and shorter distances. You did not apply these two rules and for this reason you had the accident. The razor is one of the best, but needs more attention.

Is 34c still your favorite or is the r41 in the race now? I've been shaving with the 34c for a couple of years now and I want to upgrade to something more aggressive, so I've been eyeing the r41. Feedback would be appreciated. Txs

I'm a 20 years old male. I started growing facial hair when I turned 16, but I don't have a full beard growth yet. It's still thin and uneven, and has many bald spots. How long does it take to fully develop beard?

@nathanieldaiken1064 6 лет назад

I wasn't able to grow a full beard until about forty. Generally, if you shave everyday, it stimulates the hair follicles and promotes growth.

@JohnJohn-pj8oe 6 лет назад

I’ve owned the mühle R89 for much longer than I’ve owned the R41(I own multiple razors as well). That being said ever since I got the R41(I believe two’ish years ago) at least once a month (depending on growth), I will do my first pass with the R41and my next two with my R89. I’m not sure where I picked up on that, probably one of you RU-vid shavers, but it is awesome for taking my beard down! Thanks again for all of the videos

@afrog2666 6 лет назад

Your months worth is more like 6 months for me hehe.. Ever since I stopped working out my beard has become even more thin, soft and downy than it was before. After I started wet shaving, I want it to grow out faster and thicker, so I can repeat the process. Never going back to mach3 and all that jazz..

@primalconcretesledge3137 6 лет назад

I don't normally like to give advice on shaving videos because advice is like what they say about opinions, but given the razor you are using I felt compelled. I feel you are using entirely too sharp an angle with that beast of a razor. That blade sits nearly flat in the head with almost no curve at all. This inherently lends itself to needing even more of an angle allotted than normal DE razors. The angle at which you are holding the R41 is what I would consider wide even on the most tame DE razor. I owned the R41 before and this sharp of an angle would have literally dragged layers of skin straight off my face. I think this is why you had a minefield of weepers afterwards. Notice I said "owned." It's a ridiculous razor for use only by the suicidal. LOL

@anthonypalermo7143 6 лет назад

I agree with some of the statements others have already made: liked that you showed no matter how much experience, there will sometimes be irritating shaves. I was wondering considering the aggressiveness of the Muhle R41 how often you end up using it? Obviously the 34C and Rockwell 6C are a couple of your faves for everyday use.

@rajeshsweet194 6 лет назад

Should have gone slower with the first pass ..... buffing would have been a better strategy ..... ur earlier r41 shave with full beard was perfect

Nice video Nick 👍 Your nose works absolutely different to mine. I always think: what the hell is in his soap? 😆 I've tried the Trismegistus soap, but now I'm using the Arkadia soap from Stirling. It has the same scent!

@goldensteeltv8546 6 лет назад

It's ok if you have nicks and cuts. After all, it's just sometimes you get one once in a while. About alcohol-based aftershaves, would you admit that they're bad for your own skin type since your skin is sensitive? Balms are more better than splashes since alcohol does more harm to the skin than good

@jake31376 6 лет назад

Nice shave! Glad the beard is gone hopefully the porn stache won't last long either! How soft are silvertip badger hair brushes? Don't own one but wondering how they would compare to the soft synthetics.

@icalexander 6 лет назад

Looks like you had a great shave there Nick. Took my NSV goatee off on December 1st as well. My slim adjustable on 9 mowed through it but boy was that area ever sensitive as well. No other place on my face had burn with the AS but my goatee area burned bad enough I dropped an F bomb. so I hear ya on that. With that said you can get back to feeling good and clean shaven now lol

@Woodbush55 6 лет назад

Nice beard off. Digging the stache. I want to get a Muhle R41 but it looked like it tore ur face up. Is it really that aggressive, or was it a perfect storm kinda thing with the not having shaved in a while, and a mildly aggressive blade and razor combo?

@Akis_101 6 лет назад

That's the reason there are adjustable safety razors ... you could do your first pass with a Futur at #6 and then going smoother at #3 or #2 or whatever you like!
