Read The Modern Man Reviews

There'll be no more clogged blades thanks to the MUHLE R41 Open Comb Safety Razor. Open Comb razors are great for shaving longer stubble, and the MUHLE R41 Open Comb is no exception. The Open comb design means shaved bristles and foam slide away under the blade, rather than clogging it up. This makes for a closer, more comfortable shave - just what you want. Where is this made? This razor is made in Germany by Muhle. Do they come with a warranty? Our warranty is on a case by case basis. As a general rule, if the item is defective and has not been misused, we would replace it. We also take into account how long the customer has had the product for. Which colour is it? This razor is chrome-plated and has a mirror-like finish Is it corrosion resistant? Yes, the chrome finish makes this razor corrosion resistant and very durable. Does it have a good grip? The knurled handle provides a secure grip. What size is it? It is 94mm long and 41 mm wide (3.7inch x 1.6inch) How much does it weigh? It weighs 64 g / 2.25oz Which razor blades should I use? It needs a standard double edge razor blade. Feel free to take a look to our range: Razor Blades What does “open comb” mean? The fact that there is a gap between the teeth of the comb allows more lather to remain on the face since it goes through the spaces. As a result, you will get a closer shave. This option is not recommended for daily use or for people with sensitive skin. This is an example of an open comb: This is an example of a closed comb: Notice that in close combs, there is a bar that joins the teeth of the comb. This offers more protection and it is recommended for daily shaving. Most Double Edge Safety Razors are closed comb. Are there different models of the R41? This is the original Muhle R41 Double Edge Safety Razor. The other options are: R41RG https://www.themodernman.co.uk/muhle-r41-rosegold-open-comb-safety-razor.html, R41Grande and R41Twist. What is the difference with the R41 Grande? The only difference is the size of the handle. The Grande model is: 41 mm x 107 mm and weighs 90g (1.6” x 4.2” and 3.17oz) Is this a 3 or a 2 piece model? This is a 3 piece model. You can disassemble the handle and the head (top plate and bottom plate) This is an example of a 3 Piece Double Edge Safety Razor. How to assemble it? Please follow instructions suggested by Muhle: Is it aggressive? This razor is very aggressive and it is not recommended for beginners. Once you get the grip of it you will enjoy a very clean shave. Apart from the type of comb, there are other aspects that will define how aggressive a razor is: the blade gap, the amount of blade exposed, the cutting angle and the blade. Unscrew the razor head as you would on a standard closed comb double edge.

A LOT of people talk about how this thing is a merciless beast that will eat you alive! However, I did not find that to be the case! Previously, I was using a mild beginners razor (Chieftain Jr). It was a great beginner's razor (MUCH better than my cartridges) but it always left me with razor burn and significant stubble -- even after 3 passes! It was bad enough that I had to shave every other day just to give my neck a break! Due to the above issues, I decided to take the plunge and go with the R41 in hopes that its rumored efficiency would at least let me shave in fewer passes (and hopefully get less razor burn as a result). Wow, it definitely didn't disappoint! Two passes (XTG, ATG) and I not only had the smoothest shave I've ever had but I had no cuts, nicks, or razor burn! I've been using the R41 daily since then without any issues. With that said, I would say this is not a beginner's razor. I had to practice with my mild razor to get the technique down and I needed to develop my shaving prep (both of which I believe contributed to my pleasant first use). You will need to work to get the correct angle and let the weight of the razor do the work for you (or else you will get razor burn and/or nicks). Thankfully, it has good audible feedback so it's pretty easy to learn. Overall, I would highly recommend it. With my sensitive skin, this "aggressive" razor was a huge improvement over the mild one I had been using. Highly recommend it!

The overall quality it's superb, however I find the razor a little light-weighted. The shave is very aggressive ,this razor is not for beginners.
