Geo, I went from using a terrible Gillette Fusion to a safety razor about 3 years ago when I found this channel. Bought a Muhle R89 with some Feather blades and Proraso products and couldn't be happier. My shave routine completely changed, my skin feels much fresher and smoother with a safety razor than those gimmicky razors with the 5 blades and aloe vera strip. Keep up the good work man, love these videos.

I purchased the R89 as my first safety razor and it has been absolutely amazing. Not too wild, but it performs absolutely fantastic. It's great for beginners looking for some quality hardware. In time I'm sure I'll upgrade to something more aggressive, or better yet, something adjustable. I'm in no hurry to do so however as the R89 is giving me a super duper smooth shave.

Great comparison, geofatboy! Thanks! I just purchased a Muhle R89 Grande after being away from DE razors since the late 70's. I've had almost no issues with nicks and zero cuts. I shave every day and make 3 passes, but I usually have to clean up. Right now, I'm using Muhle K1 blades that I bought with it. I'd be okay with a little more aggressive shave. I'm not sure of jumping up to a R41 is necessary. Would a more aggressive blade make a difference? If so, any recommendations? Also, I've recently read where guys use a shim or two. Is that a good idea or not? Thanks!

Thanks, Geo. Glad to catch this very recent video of yours comparing the two really well-known Mühle safety razors. I figured, at first, that it must be a rerun, but no. I have one question. It seems that the R41 is like "King of the Hill," when considering open-combs. I have several open-comb heads that I've purchased to get an idea of open-combs. I haven't purchased a Mühle open-comb. Is there any quality, attribute or aspect of its performance that sets it apart in such a way as to be superior, supreme or whatever? You've given a good demo and explanation of these two Mühle razors. Just wondering what you might say about the R41's status or rank among open-combs. Thanks again, Geo. Being from South Bend, IN (though in San Jose, CA now), I was glad to find out, recently in a video of yours or maybe in the video of you and Lynn Abrams, that you are a Chicago guy. Never wondered about where you were located, but figured it was someplace in the New England part of the U.S.

I actually learned DE shaving with the R41 and the green Astra blades (by accident), a friend of mine let me borrow a spare safety razor of his thinking he gave me the R89 but forgot to swap the razor heads. Got used to it quite quickly and loved it very much, but avoided doing more than two passes. When I finally ordered my own r89 I wondered why the design was different. Now I can basically shave with any DE razor XD

It's worth mentioning that there were 3 (?) versions of R41, so it's hard to learn about this razor, because you can read review from someone with older version. R41 isn't that agressive as people say. For me both of them are good razors and Muhle is manufacturing beautiful handles.

i find my merkur 23c to be pretty good at finishing of problem areas, but doing a full shave with it seem to take a lot of effort. maybe starting with r41 and then do the second pass with r89 could be nice. might be a bit excessive to use multiple razors though. i've been using mostly straights but don't feel like reusing it after cleaning it of, 23c is placed conveniently in a holder while most other stuff is packed down in their packages.

What are good blades to use with the R41? I have used Derby Extra for almost 2 years and will need to buy some more blades soon. I usually do 1 pass down and 1 pass up on the neck because it’s so sharp.

Only the Feather works for me. Any milder blade and the R41 will miss some spots no matter how much buffing I do.

For me I find Astra SP (same as Geo used) Gillette Nacet. I tried a Feather in my R41 a couple of times, but for me the combination of the sharpest blade around and a very aggressive razor wasn't a good experience.

In all the videos of Geo, I always find he loads up his brush with more soap than necessary. I’d be amazed if Geo makes that much lather on a daily basis and isn’t doing this for KZbin. Would burn through the soap. I watched his Proraso shaving cream video and created a crazy amount of soap and lather just using a pea sized amount of cream as opposed to the quarter sized amount in his bowl.

@@geofatboy much better Geo. There weren’t pools of lather and foam in this video. Good job! Also I wasn’t trying to be overly critical of your videos or method or offend you in my initial post. It just made me wonder if I were doing something wrong by not making so much lather and foam.

I noticed a curious thing, I have both, and one had 4 stamped on to the top, and other had 5, and the one with the "4" has more aggressive angle, and out of curiosity I mixed them up used the milder "5" with the open comb. I personally liked the mild open comb better than the aggressive, and my blades last longer than with the aggressive one. Gets my jawline better than either in their original configuration.

I love when you shave fully with the both edges before you clean it up. I know most DE razor can take all the half face with no problem 6:18 - 7:15 before clean the razor again. But ist only with the aggressive razors or all razors? When I see others don't do it like that, it annoys me and then I stop the video and scroll it. Greetings from Palestine!
