R41 -v- R41

[Blademonkey]

Back in the days, I've played a lot with geometry and balance.
My best was a frankenrazor I called UFO8941:
• Topcap Muhle R89
• Base Muhle R41 V1 (Fatip)
• Handle Ufo Goliath 85mm try
On the heavy side, but a smooth shaver.

EDIT
BTW, today there is the Fatip Nobile.
Wich is actually almost the same, with less weigh and better balance.

Looked into it and now have a Fatip Noble on it's way to me, thanks for the info.

The Classic head is very nice.
With Nobile handle, I find It very enjoyable.
I'll like to read your experience.

In the beginning (2009, V1), It was Fatip. My fav. (pic)
Then (2011, V2) It's born the "shark" version. Stupidly aggressive.
The last one actually on the market (2013, V3) It's in the middle.

Here more details.

Look lovely

Don't think I'd ever get my hands on one the earlier mule r41

Interested in that razor that's similar to the fatip razor with the lesser amount of combs on the comb comb, completely forgot what it's called

i actually have a 2011 which I've been intending to sell for the last couple of years - I should put it up on BST.

I prefer a milder shave, the feather ASD2

I would be very interested should you decide to eventually part with it.

I used my Fatip Noble this evening and I found it gave a very similar shave as the R41 however I think it has better balance and I like the chrome over brass construction of the head and the handle offer's plenty of grip even when wet.
It's not a razor that I would use every day simply because I found that I had to be super careful and shave with a very light touch.
It gave me the closest of shaves and I was left with super smooth skin, perfect!
I will use this razor when I want a walk on the wild side!
