Doesn't look that bad.A bit like a Fatip.
Legend has it that they're Fatips that came out wrong and have crazy blade exposure. Reports from the few that have tried one and lived to tell the tale say they make the R41 feel like a Tech.
I've got one. Loaded a blade, put it near my face... aborted. I gave up after three non-shaves. Only razor that ever scared me - and I have shaved with straights, proper shavettes, "safety razors" with the guard removed and everything in between. I'd rather use an electric razor.Or for the ultimate in aggression with a thin sharp flimsy blade: a cheap shavette loaded with 1/2 Feather DE-blade.
Nice video of the R41 (I believe 2013) vs the Roedter 1909

As others have said.....if you were sold a 2013 then that is what it is. The Grande designation refers only to the handle size.
To clarify a few other points......the Ikon Tech's official designation is the Ikon 104, and it is readily available from a number of vendors. I have one and can confirm that it comes close to the aggressiveness of an R41 (2013)....which is nowhere near as aggressive as the 2011 version. I have all three....so I know from experience. I also have the Futur and a couple of its Chinese clones. These are adjustable and can be aggressive as you want. The Futur was my first razor....I initially felt I had to have the most aggressive razor available and thought it was a badge of honour to walk around with a face which came close to the colour of cooked lobster. It has taken me quite a few years to be competent enough to shave with a Futur at high settings.
I wish you luck with your new R41 (2013). Once you have mastered it....try a heavier handle.....That will move you into newer territory!
Aggressive this, aggressive that!Hi,
I've just purchased Muhle R41 Grande (2011 Version), I heard that it's the most aggressive razor, which gives the closest shave besides, using Feather blades with it, but there is a more aggressive one which is the iKon Tech, but unfortunately it's very rare and I could't find one on Amazon or ebay.
My question is: is there a way to make the Muhle R41 Grande (2011 Model) more aggressive?
What's the most aggressive DE razor out there? Merkur Futur or Muhle R41 or iKon Tech or what?
I bought it for 74$ + Free shipping.
Aggressive this, aggressive that!

I never actually ever cut myself using a shavette. However, it did use to take 45 minutes .
