Decent price as of late anyway, couldn't resist throwing in a bid for a NOS
Today’s haul......
Tried the Scottish Spirit sample and all I can say is very nice, lovely scent.
No band aids were required for the R41. What a great razor, for me at least. Loaded it up with a Wizamet Super Iridium using Stirling Bergamot Lavender, using a shallow angle with no pressure and had a great 2 pass shave, probably one of the best although I get good result with a Fatip OC as well. I have what I would call wire wool stubble and I shave every other day and the R41 cut through with ease for a lovely smooth shave. After using a Parker Variant adjustable I find an open comb razor much better.No Band Aids for the R41?
When I have tried the Amber I will let you know if I can , how I find the Amber scent George.
Happy for you! Your technique is clearly better than mine then. I still have nightmares about the R41
Did you use a shallow angle?Happy for you! Your technique is clearly better than mine then. I still have nightmares about the R41
I don’t remember but I was probably gung ho in my approach. I’ve since learned to respect open combs...and brand new Feathers
For sure, you do have to respect open combs, after all you have no safety bar to kinda fall back on. I don’t think I have tried a feather in an open comb yet.....so watch this space! I have used a feather blade numerous times in a safety bar razor and they still need to be respected but again for me they go through wiry stubble with ease.I don’t remember but I was probably gung ho in my approach.

Maybe technique, but probably more like good luck.It will probably bite back at some point!Happy for you! Your technique is clearly better than mine then. I still have nightmares about the R41
So much so, the wife has just asked what the aftershave was I had put on and promptly told me to order a bottle!
Stay focused
