​

This morning, got bold and tried a 3D printed top cap that claims to replicate the venerable Muhle 2011 R41. If you take a close look at the picture you will see a clear top cap with the Personna Med Prep clearly seen. Well after just one shave I can say that his puppy is just as sharp or maybe a tad more aggressive than my 2011 R41. I didn't think of taking a side by side picture of the top caps but they look identical in width and height with the naked eye. Being a 3D printed head if I run my finger from blade side to blade side you can feel ridges going lengthwise and I sure it plays a little bit into the razor being a little aggressive but the razor did not skip, tug, or leave any weepers and as I previously stated it feels as aggressive if not a little bit more so than a 2011 R41 as the top cap can flex a little. The developer is requesting feedback on the design as well as material and eventually they are looking at a metal top cop and farther down the road possibly a baseplate. For little over $21 it was worth the money spent.

Brush: Muhle Black Fiber
Lather: Dr. Dittmar
Post: Omega balm

Excellent shave. The Dr. Dittmar has the upper hand on Provence Sante in slickness and beard softening but is too harsh for daily use.Click here to view quoted image.
