R41 or shavette?

[qwvb1111]

I am a weekend shaver with coarse beard, usually there is 4 to 5mm growth when I shave. I have been shaving with a open comb DE safety razor and astra blades for a year.

I am planning to switch to a R41 or Parker SRX shavette. The purpose is to shave as efficiently (2 passes or less) and as close as possible.

Despite the longer learning time and getting used to for shavette, which of the two suits my purpose more? Thanks in advance.

In my humble opinion, if you're new to straight razors or shavettes, you might not want to consider a DE half-blade shavette. It's a very demanding type of razor, and you need to have a proven technique. When I was researching this, I realized that it's better to start with a Hair Shaper or AC blades shavette.
