Ohoy mateys,
Having been away from DE shaving for a few years, I decided to kick start my DE adventures with some new goodies, including a Muhle R41 Grande.
Being my usual fearless self (read: over-confident), I started out with the R41, and loaded the Derby blade it was delivered with. After some prep (no shower), I went to town, and OUCH - my neck payed the price. Lots of nicks and cuts, even though I was quite careful not to apply too much pressure. Massacre!
Second time around was a little better, but still very bad to the neck area. However, I love the look, heft and sound(!) of the MÜHLE, so will not give up on it
I am guessing the trick is in applying no pressure, and probably also more focus on the angle..?
Any thoughts or comparable experiences with this razor/MÜHLE razor head?
(Other razors: Merkur Progress, Merkur Futur, and some more)
Thanks!
