I have a tough beard so I had heard about the Muhle R 41 being aggressive and wanted to try it.
I received the Muhle R41 head 3 to 4 days ago and have used it for the past few days. On the first day I felt some irritation using a new shark blade. Probably not used to it. On the second and third day I used the shark and got a really close shave without irritation.
Today just for fun, I tried the same shark blade in my Gillette slim adjustable. Used a 3 setting for WTG, 5 for XTG, and then 2 for ATG. Wow! what a shave. Even with the 4th use of the shark blade I got an incredible shave without any irritation.
So for those thinking about a Muhle head, go ahead and get it if you can get a good deal for it, however, a vintage gillette adjustable will give you as close a shave depending on passes and technique and I paid $25 for the it.
