Coincidentally, today's shave was my first non-SR shave in many weeks using the R41, the hyper-aggressive 2011 version.
Highly unlikely to see any further DE shaves in the foreseeable future. The DE shave was quick, convenient and close- however this morning I had achieved something unseen in several months of straight razor shaves: about a half-dozen little bleeders on my throat! As I left the shaving 'arena' my wife asked what happened as I had multiple blots of tissue stuck on throat. "My first DE shave in a long time. I lost..."
I love the R41 and had many great shaves with it, but I do need a bit o' practice to 'get the feel' for it again….
A similar situation with me, went to DE for speed due to lack of time. Both to Gillette old style oc and the Mühle R89 beat me up. Total opposite of the SR shaves
