    Default Finally - Shave without Blood using R41

    So I bought R411 few months back when it was launched. I tried this razor for few times and was just not getting a shave without nicks and cuts. Then I sold this razor. Few weeks back I bought just razor head from one of the B&B member and today I tried it with ikon bulldog handle. It was great BBS without a spot of blood. Its great close shave. Planning to buy a new razor again.

    I did like it better with a heavier handle.

    I usually get great shaves with my R41 as long as I am careful and not lose concentration.

    I guess heavier handle was one of the biggest factor. Other change is I am shaving after shower now. I used to shave first and then take shower.

    I put a Weber on mine and it made a great difference. I have a Tradere and might have to try that handle as well, though I'm digging the Weber right now.
    I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
