Just went back to watch this because the Mrs. ordered an r41 razor for me as a “social distancing” gift and it arrived yesterday. I experienced what you did with my shave yesterday. I used a Feather blade and really felt the tug that I often get with a new Feather blade. Feather is my “go to” blade even in my Futur which is my most used razor. As you can see I am not afraid of an aggressive razor; but you are the champ. I could NOT do a three pass shave with the Muhle. More power to you. I’ll give it a second go tomorrow. Boxing Day was named for the day that servants were given holiday after working Christmas Day to make the celebrations “merry” for their employers. They were given their Christmas “boxes” with leftover food, goodies, and other gifts by their employers and the chance to go home and make-up boxes of their own to share. Like that shirt and LOVE that Christmas Tree. Mrs. H for the WIN!!!

Good evening Paul! Your sound stage tree is pure magic...it is getting lovelier each time I see it. The Winter Spice soap sounds like Christmas to me as well. Muhle R41 with a Feather blade? Good thing you live near the NWH! You're just at 10 minutes into the video and we have blood. I think the R41 is a very efficient razor and cut as close as any. I recently used the R41 with a vintage Gillette Super Silver with good results. I do prefer to use carbon blades with that particular razor. Yeah, 18 minutes into the video and the Muhle R41 and the Feather Hi Stainless has turn this into a proper bloodletting. You are a brave soul Paul. I am glad you survived this shave. Why is the day after Christmas called Boxing day? "A 'Christmas Box' in Britain is a name for a Christmas present. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a 'Christmas Box' or bonus from the master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give 'Christmas Boxes' to their families" London Evening Standard.

One of your best shave yet Paul. Starting off with spectacular flowers from Mrs. H. Outstanding! Done my Christmas shopping you ask - haven't even started! I've got both of these razors and I would say that the Futur is more aggressive but the Muhle seems to "bite" more, if that makes sense. I always have to take care when using it. And I really like the L'Oreal birch sap range of products (shave balm, moisturiser and a shower gel). Looking forward to the Sunday (Christmas Eve) shave. All the best mate.

Was soll ich tun, wen für mich selbst die 7 o´clock gelbe Packung zu stumpf sind? Die sind ja schärfer als die Feather Klingen aus Japan. Aber trotzdem sind die unangenehm für mich, ich habe trotz der Schärfe dieser Klingen, unangenehmen Gefühl bei der Rasur.

A very nice, informative and detailed video! Thanks a lot! Just one hint: It's "Mühle", not "Muhle", and if you don't have an "ü"-key just write/type "ue" instead. By the way: "Mühle" is pronounced "Müh-Lay" instead of "Miool" ("ü" being pronounced like the French "u" - so a halfway house between "ee" and "oo"). If you have troubles with the "ü"-sound just say "Mee-Lay". It's incorrect, but every native German speaker will understand what you mean. If you say "Miool", no one will. Withal: Not using Umlaute (Ä, Ö, Ü) both in pronuciation and written form can lead to massive missunderstandings. E.g.: Schlosser = locksmith BUT Schlösser = palaces Masten = masts BUT mästen = to fatten schwul = gay (homosexual) BUT schwül = muggy Bar = bar/pub BUT Bär = bear Dosen = cans/tins BUT dösen = to doze Schussel = scatterbrain BUT Schüssel = bowl schon = already BUT schön = beautiful/handsome etc. Best regards from Vienna, Austria

There are competing theories for the origins of the term, none of which is definitive.[4] The Oxford English Dictionary gives the earliest attestations from Britain in the 1830s, defining it as "the first week-day after Christmas-day, observed as a holiday on which post-men, errand-boys, and servants of various kinds expect to receive a Christmas-box".In Britain, it was a custom for tradespeople to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.[7] This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.[8] This custom is linked to an older British tradition: since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts, bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.
