I have an R89 (which I like a lot, but it is too mild) so I bought an R41 and it cut me all up. What's in the middle.....any advice?
R41 with a sharper blade.
Muhle does not do anyone any favors by packaging a free Derby with that razor.
My best results were with a Gillette 7:00 Yellow, but I never rotated to the Feather before I switched to straights.
I got good results from the Astra SP as well.

I use only Feather blades.
Fatip!
Weber or ...wait for it......SLANT!
37C slant- just right, with the right angle.
Exactly you can ask all the questions you want but you will have to do a trial and error i,ve tried a lot lolFill in the gaps...that's all part of the fun!
Shim the 89 with 2 or 3 used blades with the cutting edge clipped off. Opens the gap.
Have you tried an adjustable? The Progress (especially as modified as a Mergress) is wonderful. Within the range of adjustments, you are likely to find your "Goldilocks" setting.
