    You shave 'proper' growths, from a few days to even a week or more. You talk us through what you're thinking as you shave, explaining your technique, and how it's evolving. You don't present yourself as some kind of shaving messiah. Great angles, we can really see what you're doing. The editing, music, and variety of shots all comes together to really hold the interest, and makes the time fly in.
    It's almost like you've taken everything that's annoying in shaving TH-cam in general, and flipped it.

      Agreed. The biggest issues are people shaving a whopping 1 day of growth and sometimes you cant even see the hair since they are fine or lighter coloured, especially a problem with more aggressive razors better suited for longer growths and you want to know if the hype is real.

    I have an R41 on order. I’m a fairly new DE shaver. My daily driver is a Mekur 23C. Have not had any issues at all with that one, but I’m really wondering if the R41 will be too aggressive? I bought it to use when I have gone a week or so without shaving. So far, I have found warnings on these videos to be a little overstated, but this could be the exception! And, great job on the video! One of the best I’ve seen yet.

      @@OhioShaves I've tried it out a few more times and same results. I use it just like any other razor for regular 3 pass shave and always no nicks, no cuts and no irritation. Next step is to start moving up on my blade sharpness options from the very mild black beauties > treet platinum > treet dura sharps > Bic > Feather. See if it makes much difference to the already good results. When I bought the r41 I bought a spare r89 head too in case the r41 butchered me but didn't happen.
      However I wouldn't hand an r41 to a beginner but anybody with a good bit of experience should have no problems and anybody who has ever used straight razors might enjoy the feel of it.

    Personna blades are all slightly different depending on which 1 you get. There are 3 Personna blues. That I've seen on Amazon. Standard stainless, comfort coated and med preps. Coated one work best for me or feather blades. The Personna preps seem slightly milder than other Personna, probably because sterilizing processes effect them. Know that from experience have to sterilize scrapers at work. Definitely reduces sharpness a little. I have razorwire beard hair, so need sharpest I can get. Plus sharpest blades get more shaves out of a blade before having to change.

    I experienced same results my first few attempts w R41 w nicks, irritation, and blade feel. I wasn’t used to different shave angle approach, it’s different than an HD34c w narrow sweet spot compared to my other de razors. It also doesn’t torque or bend the blade as much, so the blade is more prone to bend or “chatter”. My R41 seems to have a little blade chatter if I have several days growth similar to yours. I read about this on chat forums and placing a shim between topcap and blade stiffened up the blade to eliminate the chatter but also tamed the blade feel and aggressiveness by a bit. Try it, it works well. Other than that I agree the r41 is a great shaver!
    But I don’t usually do much buffing strokes on wtg pass. I like fluid passes better but on several days growth up to 10 days it’s sometimes necessary

      @brandonoglesby8498 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@OhioShaves yes I agree, like with all de razors, finding that sweet spot where shave angle is just right. I guess I need to shave with r41 more. Haven’t had it long n I don’t care to shim either as it seems to be a PITA! But I do love the close efficient shave I get w it. But yea I had problems w blade chatter my first few shaves, nicks, and irritation. Tbh where I put shim doesn’t change blade gap at all. It would change blade gap if I placed shim between the blade and baseplate. But I load shim to top cap first, then the blade. This way the shim stiffens blade to eliminate chatter. Gap is unaffected but I guess it does change blade feel some to more of a neutral or negative blade exposure.
      Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them, they’re helpful.

    Nice Shave David. Glad i don't wait that long to shave. I love shaving too much to miss a day. The Henson mild or medium is all I need but all the other razors are nice too. That mild you sent me is just as good as the medium. I think I'll use it for my daily for a while. I used the blade with it also. Mild and worry free efficient shave. Same for my medium. Only a little difference. R41 is just a fun shave also. You have to concentrate to not take off your epidermis.

  • @DhimanAhir
    @DhimanAhir 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I use the R41 with Kai blades and they are a match made in heaven.
    The Kai blades sit more recessed than other blades, so the aggressiveness of the open comb R41 is not as acute. But because the Kai blades are as sharp as a Feather, it's a perfect shave. I've used Wilkinson Sword blades on the R41 in the past and found that although they aren't as sharp as the Kai, they do poke out more and are uncomfortable to shave with. Interestingly, Derby blades work well with this razor. So, I can recommend the R41 for beginners using Derby blades.
    Some tips: 1.) Align the Kai blades - they aren't a perfect fit on the R41's seating pins 2.) Go slow - I've cut myself many times because I was impatient and wasn't concentrating 3.) Go with the grain using this razor, or you'll butcher yourself

      Closed comb has a bar then maybe some teeth depending on the razor. The open comb razor, all you see is the teeth with no bar. The jagged edge helps fluff up the hairs on your face, supposedly. The leaf is a closed comb with no teeth.

    Thanks for another great video. New to wet shaving, I've settled on the Leaf Twig with an Astra blade, which I got from Amazon in a sample pack. I was about to place an order for 100 when I noticed that they were made in Russia. I'd rather not do that, so I checked your link on the Personna blades. It doesn't definitively say the blades are made in the USA. I then went to the Personna store on Amazon. They don't say where they are made. I zoomed in on the box image and it says "Made in Germany". How do I make sure I'm getting blades made in the USA?
