Muhle R41 - Maggard MR7 / Astra SP (3)
Bought the R41 during Maggard's Black Friday sale. I've been intrigued by the razor, especially after reading so many posts about it's aggressiveness. Plus, for $17, I thought it was a great deal. Well, it is definitely aggressive. Here's a shot of my styptic pencil. This was taken after applying the alum block twice and the styptic pencil three times!
Other than this little mishap (which was completely my fault as I accidentally moved the razor sideways during a momentary lapse of concentration), I ended up with a very good shave - close, comfy, and nearly zero irritation with the alum block - other than the one spot
