Mühle R41 + Gillette Spoiler | Cade Überlather | SRD 2011 Thäter Bulb | Sabon ASB | Villoresi Vetiver

What a shave! I'd heard guys talk about this new R41 as an aggressive razor; they were not wrong! I heard it cutting whiskers before it even touched my face. Amund (Blix) warned me to make sure I had a good lather, so I spent some extra time building the Cade into a nice creamy bit of heaven. When I loaded the blade, I could immediately tell this was not like my R89. A LOT of blade sticks out. But, I gently took the razor to my face and it glided effortlessly. After one pass, I was beyond DFS and almost BBS. But I had so much fun that I couldn't bear to not do a second pass. After that run, it rivaled my best BBS from a straight. This is one serious DE.

Gentlemen, I wish you all the happiest of holidays!
