Can some of the R41 users help me please?
I just shaved with mine for the first time today. I'd like to think I'm pretty comfortable with aggressive razors, I whip a 34 HD around my face at light speed and I use a slant on weekends and I've not had an uncomfortable shave in months, let alone a cut.
The shave today was extremely uncomfortable, it was very noisy and raspy, and it felt draggy. Blade was a brand new 7 o'clock green. After 2 passes I was smooth as a baby's bum but I was sore. No cuts or nicks, and I used zero pressure, but for some reason it didn't feel nice.
Is there a secret to this razor? I shaved at a shallower angle than normal as I heard stories about a "rough scrape" if the razor is too perpendicular to the face. It still felt like a rough scrape.
Your thoughts are very welcome.
