And here I assumed it was due to my superior shaving skills...

All joking aside, I did compare my R41 to several vendor pictures, looked the same to me. Whether or not those pictures were of the less aggressive model I'm not sure since this is the first I've heard of it. I was aware that Muhle made a closed comb version of the R41, which I imagine is less aggressive than its open comb brother.
