Finally someone answered the question Futur vs R41.

@geofatboy Год назад

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!

@righteousredneck777 Год назад

Some fear the R41,but it just takes practice. If I can use it with brain cancer..any gent can learn. My cancer treatment ends in March and I'm gonna get in a baby smooth R41 shave and hit a restaurant that weekend for a big steak dinner.

Good work Righteous! Medium or rare?

@matta8034 Год назад

Hi Geo. Looks like a nice shaving cream. Nice comparison shave with the Muhle R41 and the Merkur Futur. I love the Muhle R41, cuts through anything in its path. Just as good as a straight razor. You cant beat the looks of the R41, proper old school original look. Take care Geo

Hey Geo, what's up? BigT here from New Mexico. The Shave Meister once again proves he has skin of steel in a comparison shave between two of the most aggressive razors out there. Not a nick, cut, weeper or scrape and the results were great. Dr Selby looks to be a good addition to Shave Nation's line up of quality products, lathered up nicely and protected the skin. Great video and shave, thanks. See ya next time. Enjoy!

Hello Geo, Thanks for quality videos. I just changed my shaving style from mach3 or vs to traditional ones. I bought R41 grande and and 89 for trying all complications😊So again when i added to lots of blades again for comparison its going huge and huge formulas🎉So everyman has different feelings for shaving and tasted but everyone again should watch your videos to more clarify. Yes i know as a man we are not working on atomic fusion but we shave👨‍✈️I am the computer engineer and airline pilot so i have not enough time for spend,but last 30 days i just spend with your playlist. Thanks and have great shave and business 🕺🏻

@geofatboy Год назад

@thomaspowers6761 Год назад

Thanks for the comparison shave Geo. I always wondered how the R41 stacked up against an adjustable, now I know. Feather does like to smear the glue all over the blade and paper. Whenever I use a new one I always soak it in 70% alcohol first Wraper and all, helps eat through the glue

@geofatboy Год назад

Interesting-Thanks for sharing. I've not thought of the alcohol trick...

@starlodear2987 Год назад

The Futur aka Potato Peeler is more aggressive at 0.5 than the R41. Using a Feather on the Futur even at just 0.5 is just too much and just not necessary. But on the R41, the Feather works just fine. I agree that the Futur feels smoother thanks to its weight. Though I shaved with the Futur at 6 a few times, I stay between 0.5 and 1 and get the best shaves out of all my razors.

@geofatboy Год назад

So you're a fan of the potato peeler at its nearly lowest setting?

@starlodear2987 Год назад

@@geofatboy Yea, 0.5 for sharp blades and 1.0 for mild blades.

Hey Geo... Greetings from *On The Road* out here in Sacramento, California. So baazar that you do this razor comparison at this time... You know , I'm a Mühle R41 man. However, just a couple of days ago I was going through my *Shave Nation* supply bag and found my old Merkür Fütür that I purchased from you many years ago. And thought to myself , hmmm I think I'll shave with this on my next shave... Then today you post this video 🤔 Bazaar ? Bazaar indeed. Cheers ☕ to you & yours Geo.

r41 is now my go to but will mix it up with the Merker Progress 510👍

@geofatboy Год назад

Good choices!

@CrappyProducts 5 месяцев назад

That's precisely my experience. I always run my Futur at 6 and it's really smooth, it cuts so well, but with the R41 I always feel I need to be extra careful maybe because of the teeth. I just wished they did an agressive Futur with a smaller head since it's tricky near the nose

@geofatboy 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like a great idea for a new razor!

@jeromehawkins8485 Год назад

I picked up some of Dr. Selby's soap and ointment. Great stuff. I'm pretty sure they're right about 400 shaves out of that tub. Great show down. I'll pass on the R41.

@geofatboy Год назад

So do you have like 320 left by now?

@lordnekronow19 Год назад

Nice

@borbetomagus Год назад

It appears the Dr Selby Shaving Cream bowl was designed so you can set it on the top of the lid.

@geofatboy Год назад

Wait-Didn't I demonstrate that?

@AndyPanda9 Год назад

I notice that you use a really steep angle on the R41 (riding the teeth). I'm impressed how quickly you shave and no blood letting. I'll have to try that steeper angle with the R41 and a feather but much more slowly than you 😆

@jasiet Год назад

It's an answer. Fast, brawe riding.

@geofatboy Год назад

Shave fast, shave slow... Whatever works best for you right?

@claudiustefanserban302 Год назад

Thanks Geo! Was looking forward to this comparsion i love my Futur and progress but i dont get along with R41! I understand that r41 was changed around 2013 and newer model is less agressive compared to the original is it true?

@geofatboy Год назад

That is correct. I actually think my model is the earlier version.

@theoneandonlycarlton Год назад

Hey Geo,Those Holes Aren't There For Air Exchange ,Pretty Sure Those Are So When You Sit The Wet Bowl On Top Of The Lid To Dry They Let Any Residual Water To Drain Out. Have A Great Shave Have A Great Day!

@geofatboy Год назад

You don't think they assist in venting the soap too?

@theoneandonlycarlton Год назад

@@geofatboy Naww Not Really IMHO I Think They're More Likely For Drainage From The Wet Bowl. I've Put An Airtight Lid On Some Of My Soaps And The Next Day They Were Dry. So I Really Doubt It LOL Hell Call The Company And Ask. Thanks For The Reply 👍

@Jonathan-yh7cr Год назад

Geo, have you ever had shaving cream not lather up? Curious to see a video on the fails!

@geofatboy Год назад

I think I have had, but its been very rare!

@michaelhunyadi5087 Год назад

Nicely done. Like both razors. The Futur gets a bad rap frequently with the nose thing. I don't get why people are so reluctant to use the off hand to raise the snoz to improve your maneuvering.

@mansoreaa Год назад

Geo ,,, happy shave 🎉 In face-to-face comparisons, does being (right-handed or left-handed) not affect the way the razor is held and, consequently, shaving?

@carfusz Год назад

That comparison was probably one of the most popular questions in our mind. Thanks

@geofatboy Год назад

Hmmm, If you're the razor do you care if someone uses their right or left hand? It comes the same either way. Love the face to face comparison comment!

I have a future clone & a real Merkur Futur. U should like the shave of the Q shave. Double check the blade gap on 3-6 from several angles to me sure the top plate cap is not skewed. I’ve noticed the clones tend to do that. The real Futur is nicer no doubt. The weight & ergos feel different. Hope u like the q
