MÜHLE Traditional Safety Razor (No Blades Included) (Chrome - Open Comb)

Product Information

The Mühle R41 Twist is another great variation of this assertive razor. It actually has the same weight and height as the Grande if you like added weight and handle length. The R41 Grande is very similar to the tradition R41. The main and only real differences are the weight and length.

Moisten the beard area, preferably with warm water, and lather it thoroughly with a brush. The longer you lather the beard, the more easily and gently the hairs can be cut. If possible, use a highly effective moisturizing shaving cream or soap as this will allow the blade to slide over the skin more easily. Make sure that the shaving head and handle are firmly attached to each other, but only tighten the screw to the extent that it can be unscrewed without too much effort. Soaked with resin, the handles made of hammered beech allow water and lather to drip off with ease.This rare material is not a wood species in its own right, but comes from wood that sank into bogs many centuries ago and has undergone various processes of change in the meantime. This preserves the wood naturally and lastingly. An expressive, dark color develops due to the tannins in the bog.

This is an excellent razor for men with coarse beards or with sensitive skin who are looking for a more aggressive razor that can shave off their facial hair with fewer passes. Get the 2013 edition. Now if you like the length of the 3-piece traditional but want a little more heft, then you should consider the 3-piece Grande. It's only slightly longer than the traditional 3-piece at 3.8 inches long, but it has 0.6 more ounces in weight for a total weight of 2.8 ounces. We prefer that extra weight. Another option would be a slant razor, or you can opt for an “open comb” razor like this one from Muhle called the R41. A hybrid design Those who fell in love with the upgrade loved the fact that in just two or fewer passes your facial hair achieved a clean look. They went to the extent of calling it “The Beast” and though it might have been caged, it might not be tamed, so you should take this as a warning. It shaves as close as a straight razor! What To Expect From the Muhle Open Comb RazorExperienced shavers like GeoFatBoy, Ryan, and Codfish say this is well-built. This version is less aggressive.
