but I personally didn't think the 2013 really felt any different than the 2011. Others will likely disagree.

That is very interesting, Todd. Thanks for your input.
And yes, some will disagree, but many people seem to agree with you as well.

Todd, nice report! Your prose style gave me some ideas how to approach my review - thanks!
David...I meant to compliment you on a terrific review! Notice you're in the Bay Area too. I guess we left coasters can't get a close enough DE shave!
... That thing is a straight with a handle. It gives new meaning to "no pressure." Like... seriously, you do not want to apply any pressure.
Hi all,
Received my Hurricane last Wed right before heading out on a camping trip. Only managed one shave on it before leaving. While I have no experience with the '11 R41, I had been shaving the '13 all week in anticipation of comparing it with the Hurricane when it arrived.
For someone with no '11 experience, all I can say is WOW! That thing is a straight with a handle. It gives new meaning to "no pressure." Like... seriously, you do not want to apply any pressure.
I love this stuff. Experimenting with new razor designs... sign me up!

Interesting, Doc.
What I want to know is, what's the 2013 with the Spitfire cap like, and how does it compare to a stock 2011. Someone correct me if I am wrong ( I think even #6 could comment on this, but I am not sure about Hobbyist rules) but the Hurricane is meant to tame the 2011 a bit, or what?
Because if it is meant to tame the 2013, I see no need for that. The 2013 is smooth enough on my face, and efficient of course.
What I really, really want to know is how does the Spitfire change the 2013, compared to a stock 2011.
Thanks to all once again, it's being very interesting so far.
Both caps are intended to make the 2013 more like a 2011, if I understand No. 6 correctly. The Hurricane is a tiny bit thicker and therefore less flexible. The result is greater blade stability in the Hurricane.
