    @Carl
    There are two R41.
    The second from left is an R41 with long handle.
    I think this one is much better.

    Brush – Semouge boar
    Soap – Mike’s Natural lavender
    AST – ALUM & Thayer’s witch hazel lavender
    ASB – Sage & Daisy , Nag Champa

    A quick touch up shave was all that was needed for today. The fatboy set on #5 with 7’OClocks blades does just fine. Thank you and have a nice day.

    I cant explain just how good it felt when I took the razor down my cheek, and it shaved like an actual razor.
    A pretty good one too.
    Its sharp, it's smooth, its a pretty bloody good shaver.
    Result: As good as I'd hoped, better than I'd expected. 3 pass BBS
