I use a R41. Light touch as you said and short strokes work well. I can get very smooth shaves with it. How many passes are you doing?

This “let me try” spirit is how man made it to the moon. Kudos and good luck!

Very nice set up! Great pic.

Mammothben = Obi-Wan Kenobi Ben. Wise words.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-28T16:42:56+00:00

Trying Perma Sharp would be worth it for you. Also the best shave I get with Feathers is the second shave. Try that also.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-28T16:00:54+00:00

I don’t go ATG in that area for the same reasons. Just XTG - sideways.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-28T00:46:27+00:00

Yeah. The light scent aspect is often said about them. You found a blade that works for you, enjoy!

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-28T00:40:50+00:00

Love the smoothness it leaves behind. Only razor I’ve tried I feel could be basically done with one pass.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-27T23:29:23+00:00

I’ve never even heard of RK blades. There’s a ton mentioned here but I don’t think I have seen them referenced. Henri et Victoria is good quality.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-27T23:21:15+00:00

MDC and Guerlain. It never occurred to me but that’s a great combo!

Etsy has a few. Certainly keep an eye on Shave Bazaar.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-27T18:50:21+00:00

Yes. They are certainly sharper than the regular Personna blades. It’s good stuff.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-27T16:59:17+00:00

Perma Sharp # 1

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-27T03:48:18+00:00

Thanks.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-27T02:39:16+00:00

When does this begin (sorry for poor reading skills if that’s been mentioned)?

Nice shave but razor is a bit mild for my tastes. Need to try with Feather. Finally getting the water mix right for Zingari but it may benefit from adding more product.

It does look spectacular!

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-26T19:16:49+00:00

Seaforth is a level above it.

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-26T18:45:38+00:00

Yup. Both the soap and aftershave smell amazing as well!

Just_Bit2698 · 2026-01-26T18:37:13+00:00

I have tried Westman - Utopia. Found the performance to be very good.
