- Let's test out the Muhle R41 razor before I eventually use it to shave this beard off. Put a Feather blade in this bad boy and I'm courting danger!
Let's shave.

I shaved with Palmolive's shave cream last night. Truly remarkable how a great shave can come from a very inexpensive tube.
I know, right?!
Me: i switched to safety razors because cartridge razors cost too much
Also me: anyways, this is the second 150$ safety razor I got this week
Ha! Exactly.
Nailed it
I use gillette blue 3 lasts for months its a very cheap razor i also hown it on my old trouser
Also me: I bought a vintage 30$ DE stropper to get every penny out of my blades!
Hahaha, so true
For you guys who are finding the R41 / Feather combo a touch too aggressive for you but find that dropping down the sharpness scale to say an Astra , Derby , Wilkinson Sword etc produces a less than optimal bbs , I would recommend trying the R41 / Bic blade ( manufactured in Greece ) combination , which for my part brings the best out of the razor without the added discomfort in running with the Feather blade.
I had the same problem with the R 41 Feather combo. Switched to a Gillette Wikinson Sword made in India and got a very smooth shave.
Don’t ever remember you using this!! The Muhle R-41 was my first safety razor!!! Love Gillette Silver Blue in the R41 same with PolSilver and nacets
I've tried all styles, neckbeards, goatee, mutton chops and the like.
However, I primarily am clean shaven all the time, it promotes a professional appearance in my opinion. Although I rock a "soul patch" quite often.
I remember Kenny Rogers when he was a rocker. Forget the goatee business, you like shaving, go ahead and shave. And don't make a gimmick out of it, just shave it.
A sane comment from a wise source.
And yeah if u shave to a goatee you’ll just be tempted to shave it all off just hang in there until December and I wish you’d continue no shave November it’s always interesting seeing u do it !
Great shave... keep the sides!
You are brave my friend. Have tried the exact combination. Great shave but I think you can feel the blade on your face too much. I like using the Astra or the Voskhod blades with my R41. Have to work through the pain😂😂. Love the videos my friend.
I agree Vman. I hate the feeling of that much blade, and I like aggressive razors!
How do you categorize your aftershaves?
How do you mean?
@@SinatraLennon I'm fairly sure that you have several aftershaves. My aftershave collection is growing. I currently put my aftershaves into one of two categories either morning or evening. When I shower & shave just for myself it is in the evening and I use something like Florida Water or Lilac Vegetal. When I shower & shave for other people it is in the morning and I use something that lasts longer. I was wondering if you categorized your aftershaves this way or by some other way like menthol, non-menthol or what you like the most and what you like the least or maybe the ones you like and the ones your wife likes you to wear or maybe by scents like florals, sandal woods, musks, ect...
Its bad when you get older , things start to break down , cuts dont heal as quickly as they use to. Bed time gets early. Naptime gets longer . Always great seeing you on Mondays and Friday
I agree. Getting old sucks.
We all will get old and die, what to do
Hi buddy great video kenSurfs has a Goatee i would be OK if you just had a goatee Most guys just grow a goatee for November It’s really up to you buddy it’s your face I can’t wait for you to shave off your beard you look better with a clean shaven face
Thanks Kyle!
Was this the same beard style u rocked in the 90s ?
Yeah. Like this and then a goatee.
Can I just shave the full 🧔🏻 with and against the grain with the safety razor or cartridge razor?
Only if your skin can handle it. Yes.
SinatraLennon thank you.
Yeah, hack the straps. Beards with straps on the jawline always remind me of the Norte Dame mascot. My heritage may be Irish but ND = doo-doo.
Sorry about the salty language, I get emotional about college football.
How do you feel about the Longhorns?
SinatraLennon Without being anti UT in any way, I’d have to go with the Aggies. (I’m an SEC guy.) 🙂
willis white I’ve had plenty of Aggie friends, and since we left the conference and stopped playing them, our rivalry has cooled off. A shame really. Those were fun games.
I know that beard's got to be hell. Your sacrifice will not be for naught.
Who's Bobby Brown. Before my time.
You didn’t miss much!
I would rather see you use an actual shaving cream vs a gimmick...unless it’s something really funny, like melted marshmallows or ice cream.
I agree.
Palmolive is member of my hall of fame of shaving creams. You can get it everywhere in Germany and costs only a Euro.
R41 with a Feather - the idea alone of how aggressive such shave is gonna be makes feel shave burnt
Great video as always, I think you should use your favourite razor and products, if you have made the effort growing the beard make it a special occasion to remove it. Be well my friend. 👍
Good idea.
shaefc1 I agree, use what you love! 🧼
Don't feel weird about the beard. I took my mother out for mother's day when I was 17 and I was mistaken for her boyfriend multiple times because of my beard. A beard adds 15+ years to me and it doesn't help that I'm already going grey at 20
Can’t wait to de-age at the end of this month.
I´ve only been DE-shaving for a few weeks but I fell in love with Muehle R41. I only used a basic gillette blade with it. My experience with a feather blade is only with a R89 and even with that it felt too much for my skin, got a few good nicks with it. I think for me aggressive razor with just a basic run of the mill blade seems like the optimal combo. Shaving with the R41 was the first time I got even my problem areas (chin and neck) baby smooth and it wasn´t scary or hard at all. Happy new year 2023 to you SinatraLennon, your videos are always fun and informational to watch!
Cool Sinatra. Im growing a. Beard myself. Its just stubble right now. I have the mustache. And face stubble. Ok buddy take care
One thing I must say, your shaves are never boring. Lol. Looking forward to the whisky aftershave 👍👍👍👍💈🏴
Thanks!
Have you tried a different angle with the R41? I found that with this razor a much steeper angle works a lot better than your good old 30°s. 😀 It might feel counterintuitive to a longtime wet shaver, though.
You should do the no shave November next year. You look good with a beard. Im keeping mine. My beard. Ok buddy take care where do you. Get the oil beard oil
A wise man on this channel recently stated: "I make the rules here"😉
But beware. Maybe it is not the beard that makes the man in the mirror looking old.... 😉
Just kidding 😂
It doesn’t help!
Hey Sinatra, Palmolive cream is definitely in my top 5. I’ve never used/owned an R41 before... my skin doesn’t like the super aggressive razors. I had a Futur once (which I eventually traded away), and I hated that thing. I found it downright uncomfortable to use. Also, the cold front is here my friend! 38 degrees in Houston this morning 👍🏼💈❄️
Chilly here too!
I’m a 21 year old brazilian and your videos made me stop getting cuts. They’re much more rare now. Great stuff!
That’s great! Glad I could help.
I think that you’d look better if you shave down to a goatee the strap just ruined the style in my opinion
If the Palmolive Cream is as good as the stick, it's a sure winner!
KEEP The Goatee & shave off the cheek stuff. No chance you'll be mistaken for the Senior Discount over at the BBQ Buffet.
Look like Kenny Rogers? I was thinking more along the lines of Maynard G. Krebs. That beard oil junk is what irritates your beard.
Maynard G Krebs?! I’ll bet that you’re the only person that typed his name out today on the planet! Great reference and groovy beatnik.
Hey Bob, when you shave your beard...no whit MUHLE R 41...no no no ...you must use LORD STRAIGHT RAZORS...ok? Bye a big hug.
Heck NO!!! 😆
I had a the growth you had & I used the R41. It was not the most comfortable feel but it did a great job lol (VLS)
Oh come on!! Man up , that hardly classifies as a beard..u can handle another 2 1/2 weeks, I have faith brother. Palmolive stick is my go to soap, I’m easy to please.. just keep putting oil on it. I use mountaineer beard balm on my goat, it helps
I’m hanging in there!
Just bought some barbasol after shave lotion for $1 at big lots. It smells just like the shaving cream.
Really?! I want some.
When you said palm extract i thought of something entirely different.....Palm wine
Is that an innuendo?! 😏
@@SinatraLennon It was meant to be an innuendo....but ended with something family friendly
Wife says "are you doing that thing again?" and there will not be no 'No Shave November' next year. Sounds like 'No Sex November' next year wasn't an option. LOL
Ha!
I vote to remove the chin straps. You would still be king of the castle. And when the time comes, shave it all off with Barbasol.
Already done. Hee hee.
Great video! There are multiple theories why the Mühle R41 is so unusually aggressive. Angle, exposure, blade barely aligned...they probably both contribute to its aggressiveness, plus the fact that there is no safety bar. Well, no open comb razor has a safety bar, but the R41 is not truly open comb, it has that "barbed wire" going over the comb, which was added when Version 3 (the current one) of the R41 came out. Version 2, which had an unsuspicious-looking open comb, was reportedly even more aggressive. I'm quite familiar with open combs, and I've shaved with mild and super-aggressive ones. The advantage of a closed comb is that the safety bar stretches the skin a bit to reduce pull. Open combs don't usually pull either, but, as I said, the R41 is a hybrid. It lets less moisture through than an open comb but does not stretch the skin, the barbed wire acts mostly like a guide to position the razor. -- The R41's reputation as "the beast" or "the shark from the Ore Mountains" is probably the reason why Mühle is still selling large numbers -- it's the thrill of using it or simply feeling like a man's man using the most aggressive razor ever made -- except it isn't. There are vintage razors that would eat the R41 for breakfast, like some open combs made by Fasan (Germany) or the Le Coq cage razor (France) -- literally shaped like a cage, with the back and the front comb forming a unit. The cage design was meant to trap lather and re-moisturize the skin. But there was a 21st century razor that really packed a punch, an open comb made by Roedter that has since been pulled from the shelves because too many buyers wanted their money back, claiming that the razor was faulty. By the way, I like the smell of Palmolive shaving cream, it reminds me of my grandfather. He used the canned version, though. "With palm extract" -- the good ole days when you could impress people with something like that. These days, it has to be shea butter, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil or at least almond oil if you want people to believe your product is superior.
All very good and interesting points you make. Ah, palm extract. So foreign, so exotic! Isn’t it funny how tastes and marketing changes.
So weird. The R41 still gives me the most comfortable shave out of all my razors. I don't find it to be aggressive at all, just very efficient. I also have a Merkur 37c which has given me terrible after terrible shave (close but uncomfortable) since I bought it.
I came here as soon as I got the email! Great video as always.
Thanks Alex!
Heyo Sinatra !!! A very good shave, good combination Mühle R41 with Feather blade the best that exists, I think that the Mühle R41 is not very aggressive is that the technique is important for me is an extremely efficient machine does not compare with anything you feel the blade on your face and that my friend is actually shaving.
CHEERS !!!
I need to change the angle on mine and try again!
LOL sorry I tapped out this morning.... couldn't take the itch ….Pulled out the Truefitt & Hill 1805 shave cream and my '59 Fatboy setting 7...mowed through it like butter... went with PAA Boomtown Bay rum.... burned hotter than a chicken sandwich at Popeye's
Ha! Careful you don’t get body slammed for that chicken sandwich!
@@SinatraLennon has the world gone crazy? it's a damn chicken sandwich!
Be a man quit whinning hahahah you wont know unless you let it grow did no shave 10 years ago trimmed down to goatee had it eve since try it you might like it
Even grown men can whine! 😂
Shave it off with the Gillette Heritage razor and Gillette Pure shaving cream!
Good idea!
A video from Sinatra Lennon and Kensurfs on the same day? I'd say that makes for a pretty good day.
I’ll have to go watch his!
Definitely going to incorporate "smoosh" into my vocabulary while shaving lol. Great chat as always.
It’s an old Native American word that means...smoosh!
yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw nice video as always fun fun fun....cheers...Peter
Thanks Peter!
Keep the stache.😉
Power of the stache!
Porn ‘stache!
Greetings from turkey
Hello from Texas!
Going to stick with the Equate 5 blade and barbasol
Go for it!
RIP Kenny Rogers
Recently purchase a R41 'Widow Maker' top + plate to use with my R89 Black razor handle and did a shave with lovely Palmolive creme in tribute to this video except I used a Lord Platinum rather than a Feather blade. It was an okay shave and the R41 didn't seem very agressive but I took it slow. Still as you say it's not a great shaving tool so probably more for my collection and discussion than one that will get regular use in my rotation. I shave daily so don't really need open comb and thankfully it was very cheap on ebay around a quarter of the price of the whole razor new.
I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, but I’ve had absolutely no luck with the Palmolive cream. It just gives me no slickness at all. And when I say no slickness, I mean I have trouble even getting the razor to move over my skin, especially when going against the grain..... Does make beautiful, whip cream like looking lather, though
A goatee would still be celebrating Movember.
True!
It doesn't make you look old. You don't look a day over 60😜😜😜😜 but seriously, it looks good. I've nearly shaved my goatee twice already because it has a bit of grey and I'm only 44.
This razor gets the job done when it comes to giving a good 1st pass, but it's uncomfortable and tuggy. I also don't feel relaxed know that the blade is on the verge of cutting my neck.
Everything really suits you to be honest, whether it's a beard, without beard, goatee or not :) I could imagine you at the end of every October, your son's say "dad it's November soon!", and you going "aahhh November... yeah..... I know I know.. it's that time again" :)
Enga.....
Goatee is better
Maybe so.
Shave it off with a new improved (Kennedy's razor) and colgate mug soap, they still hang on ebay - pricey shipping tho
Btw you should only shampoo beard twice to 4 times a week otherwose you’ll dry it out
Those were both my suggestions early on. So, yes, you get my vote for doing the Goatee and Barbasol. Scotch for aftershave, though? Dude, that's gonna burn like a house on fire! Have a great rest of your week!
My dad shaves, but when he grows a stubble it feels like copper wire on his face.
Does you beard looks the same way?
Came to see what happened to the Rickenbacker guy stayed for the quality shaving videos.
Thanks buddy!
I would have went with more mild blade like a Astra. I generally don't do aggressive razors and aggressive blades. I use sharp blades on mild razors and mild blades on aggressive razors.
That’s probably the right way to go.
@@SinatraLennon But you're a pro! Love the content! 😐
I need to have facial hair if not I start to look like a baby again haha!
Tark! Keep the goat take the chinstrap off with the Tark
Ya just need to hang tough until Dec. Leave it all and you`ll never regret it when you get to the end.😜
Beard oils and balms help the growth and comfort of having a beard.
nice bobby brown s/o!
Ha!
Like always nicely done shave,, contact ::: sinatra 😎
I'm a bit older than you (Before switching to wet DE razors, I used cartridge razors for nearly 4 decades starting with the Atra before there was an Atra Plus). I can't tell you how often I look into a mirror when I'm near people 25 years younger and think to myself, "Gosh, what an alter cocker I'm starting to look like!" Then I check the Daily Mail and see photos of David Foster at 70 with what he's walking around with and wish I had just one top 10 song to my credit! Take a look and try not to let your pupils fog up: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7445679/Katharine-McPhee-looks-chic-black-belted-dress-kisses-husband-David-Foster.html
I only hope that I can look that good when I’m his age. I’ll keep my wife, though! She’s a hottie.
My last shave was on Halloween I only shaped up my cheeks 3 times with a Shavette. I’m keeping the hair on my cheeks real thick but have a nice sharp crispy line-up. 😁✌️ 🧔🏽
About the wimp out... ehhh we’ll let you slide with a goatee if you 👶🏻 out!!!
Before I started Traditional WetShaving I always had a beard and if I wanted it shorter I just put a trimmer to it on its lowest setting, I really almost never used a razor lol yeah go for the goat homie 🐐 your beard would of looked better in my opinion if u would of left the sides thicker
Thing for me... I ABSOLUTELY HATE MUSTACHES!! I tend to put a trimmer to it so you can still see stubble cause if I shaved it I’d look like a little Amish Boy lol 😆
I think I’m going to shave mine off with my Shavette come December 1st was thinking about keeping it though
Yeah, very few men can pull off a mustache by itself. Hipsters and cops!
Hey Mr. SinatraLennon,
I want to send you a tube of shaving cream from my country(Austria), you may like it. But the problem is, I don't know how to send stuff to you. I literally have no idea... But if you're interested in some European (not exactly the most exclusive stuff, though) please tell me how to do so:)
Keep making videos please, they're awesome! 😉
Email me at sinatralennon@gmail.com!
Great shave you gotta use Barbasol to shave off
The old stuff or the new?!
Do the anniversary one
Keep it and shave it off with old school Colgate soap.
For what it's worth (ie, next to nothing) here are my comments: 1. especially if you're not doing this anymore, might as well do it right--seems to me the spirit of the thing is to have a full beard. Fine to shave enough to keep things neat and tidy, but reducing to a goatee seems like cheating (mind you, I don't do any of it, so that's easy for me to say). 2. I find the combination of facial hair and food to be inherently and irredeemably gross, which is one of the reasons I don't keep any facial hair in the first place. Please do not use food products to shave the thing off--Barbasol would be fine. (And the Scotch aftershave is fine, because there's no hair there to get mixed in with after you've shaved.) These comments should not be taken as reflecting any great wisdom, just my own neuroses😊
I agree with you 100%. That whipped cream with beard hair last year was GROSS!
Do the goatee
Done.
SinatraLenno ,I just used the P.O. cream on my head and it was great.
You should make a Franken croap: mush and smoosh together bit and bobs of soaps and creams for the debearding shave.
From one dad to another, it is always the right time for My Porogative, and, the beard puts YEARS on you.
Smoosh ‘em together! Good idea.
The Muehle only works with Feathers for me. Any less aggressive blade, and I can't clean up all my problem spots. Imho, the Merkur Futur is more aggressive yet smoother and I get perfect shaves with any blades. Have you tried it yet?
I tried the Futur but didn’t like it.
Na keep the beard I am 22 years old and I am keeping the beard
Keep all for 3 weeks then shave off the strap! Nice razor and blade. Sometimes if you "ride the cap" it feels less "tuggy" it cuts better no scraping. Use cheap new whiskey....old has evaporated some....
Good advice!
Bustin out some Bobby Brown! Lol!
Old school reference
I’m not ashamed to admit I had that album on cassette! 😄
Brilliant! Let's use the most brutal razor with the sharpest blade known to man, and finish with an off the scale menthol after shave... Welcome to the world of D.E shaving everybody 😂
And what a world it is.
Hi Sinatra, last Week my SL Brush arrived from Ali Express. It is a Great Brush and makes a good Lather.
Greetings from Germany
That’s great! I wish you many great shaves with it.
I thought since you busted out the Muhle and a Feather blade you were going to mow down that beard.
Not quite yet!
Yes, you are allowed to trim to goatee. And yes, Barbasol would work for the End of Movember. You sure go thru the shave swiftly considering the R41 is not very comfortable for you. I would opt for some really old vintage open comb razor instead of R41 though. That'd be more fun and interesting.
I used the 1918 Gillette last year!
I didn’t join the DE community until March -19 so I missed that. Now I am deep into it though. Fun rabbithole to crawl deep into.
You should try HMS terror! I hear it’s incredibly cold
I’ve heard that too!
The R41 will slice through the beard on Dec 1 with no effort!
Yeah, it will!
Not wimp’n out. I have my goatee going this month. Oh hey just ordered me a t-shirt and a mug. Can’t wait to try them out :) did you get your Gillette heritage yet? I got mine yesterday. Almost thought today would be the shave with it?
Mine arrives tomorrow!
SinatraLennon nice!
I have been wondering about using Bag Balm as an aftershave/moisturizer. How bout as a shave cream?
Never even heard of it!
@@SinatraLennon A balm used By New England dairy farmers since 1899. Keep's their hands and therefore the cow's teat's smooth, soft and chafe free, good stuff. I'm just getting into the wet shave game, got about 20 shaves under my belt. So many razors, so many blades, brushes and soaps. How does one even know what is the right product for them? Have you ever heard the song Frankie & Johnny? First made a big hit in 1929 by Jimmie Rodgers. I think you'll like it!
You should try the PREP shaving cream..i shave with It every morning and it's AWESOME..btw how are you my man?
I’m good! Thanks for asking.
Deadlycobra -I seen Mr. Surfs 🌊🌊🏄🏼♂️use “Prep” preShave.. never seen anyone use the cream
@@magnoliamike for me it's a good shaving cream
The Contest - day 11. Can't believe you're still master of your domain.
Why can’t you believe that?! 😎
@@SinatraLennon Because I couldn't.
NOT THE BEES!
You should try the gillette pure shave cream. I think gillette finally came out with a good cream
I will!
@@SinatraLennon I think you might like it. It's got some peppermint oil in it. Very soothing
You should shave your chin and leave the mustache and straps, kinda an old Englishman look
Whoa! Now that’s an idea.
@@SinatraLennon you should 100%
Nice combo of gear for a good shave.
I just wish that I could shave more.
I finally became viewer number 1 on a video
Congrats!
@@SinatraLennon thanks
