Ok ok you've convinced me, another one for the list! To be fair I like a razor with heft so it'll probably be a decent addition anyway!Is it worthy.....well it will not do anything that your R41 will do but for me the 2013 R41 was such a big deal, it was my second razor after the R89 and I loved it!
So for me it's an iconic razor so when I saw the GS I knew I had to have one.
It's got some weight to it but just around the limits of what I like and it's made of SS so it was a no brainer for me!
I was never over keen on pot metal razors so being SS it's worthy as far as I'm concerned but YMMV!

Superb finish but crap shave. I would have thought it is included in any man's human rights that you are entitled to a peaceful, quiet and meditative weekend shave? (I should imagine anyone reading this who has children will be laughing uproariously at that statement.) Problem number one - building work downstairs - it has been going on for weeks, f**k me - it's a tenement flat, not the f**king Sistine chapel. Problem two - my new neighbour is a jazz trombonist ( that's two of my least favourite words in the English language in one statement) who decided a spot of practise was in order at the same time I went to shave. So - the hoped for zen mood was ruined. No matter - the mechanics were flawless - I normally have the Katana on a stainless Bulldog-type handle but the monster brass thing was even better - let gravity do all the work. I have no idea how I ended up with it - but I may be able to discern the hoof prints of the Emporium, if so - thanks @Boycie83. Job done - enjoy the weekend all - I.
