Muhle Replacement Head R41 OC

I really like how close this shaves. I need just 2 passes while I normally need 3. But, you have to take it easy and apply no pressure, otherwise there will be irritation.

Since I'm lazy and usually have to fight already almost a complete beard when shaving, I thought I'd give the Mühle open comb a shot. I put this on one of my Edwin Jagger DE89Ls and boy, oh boy... It only takes a couple of passes to cut down the heavy stuff, and it gives a really close shave. I feel much more comfortable using this in a hurry than a straight razor, or a closed comb DE which takes more passes to clear the stubble. At this price, and because the handles last forever, I think I will play it safe and order more of these next time! Definitely a good purchase.

I put a stainless steel handle on this beauty, and i have been rewarded with the closest shaves of my life. Great fit and finish. Give this razor the respect it deserves and you won't be disappointed.

I ordered a replacement top plate for my Muhle R89, after the razor slipped out of my hand, hit the floor tiles and broke from the handle after aggressively shaking off the water after my shave. I was abroad at the time and couldn't find a replacement in Bangladesh, and had to wait until I got back to London, UK. Since I already had the Muhle R89 handle and ordered a replacement plate, I figured I'd try the R41 head as it would be a compatible fix with the R89 handle. Whoa!! After my first shave with this magnificent piece of German engineering, I can completely understand why so many wet shavers around the world praise it so highly. Yes it is aggressive, but smooth at the same time, and really does a fantastic job chopping your facial hair in one pass. You can hardly feel it shaving sometimes, and is as close as a straight razor shave IMO if not better than a straight without the fuss of stropping and honing. I do use a straight shavette sometimes when I've got the time, but for a close and quick straight shave equivalent, you won't regret buying a Muhle R41. Can't praise this razor enough.

I ordered this head to upgrade my DE89, it provides a smooth shave with only 2 passes. Just a little aggressive.

If you wish to get the closest shave yet in two passes, this is the Razor head to do it. Will it be your everyday razor? No but if you don't shave until the second day or wish to shave on the weekend, this is the razor to do it with. Beautiful Razor and very close shave. Buy and you will be happy you did.

Got the head to use with my favorite stainless steel handle and it works great. Open comb and gap allows you to play around with the angle so it could be medium or aggressive. Finish is great. Best purchase for the price.

If you already have a suitable handle this is a cost efficient way to try out the R41. As usual superb service from Shaving. ie

Very good offer for those who want to have in your arsenal are two types of razors from Muhle: standard closed comb for quick shave every morning (Muhle R 89); open comb for a closer shave that requires a steady hand and free time for shaving (Muhle P 41). A good way to combine a razor head with a variety of handles.
