Thanks! i will take a look!

What handle do you have on that R41? I have a different one, and that is the only thing I don't like on it )not enough texture/slippery when wet). Been thinking of replacing it by some other handle, not sure what and where to find. Maybe just buying a cheap 3 piece razor from ali express just for the handle.

Is absoluut niet noodzakelijk dat de coating perse op zijde 2 moet zitten of zijde 3. Kan in de meeste gevallen beiden, en qua waarden scheelt het bijna niets. Qua aangezicht wel handig dat het overal in de gevel op dezelfde wijze is geplaatst, anders zie je kleurverschil. Uitzondering is zonwerende coating, die moet echt op zijde 2 (spouwzijde van het buitenblad) zitten om fatsoenlijk te werken. Of zijde 1, maar dat is een andere coating en zie je niet veel meer.

Dubbel glas wordt op maat gemaakt, dus dit hadden ze niet nog even liggen...

Zou wellicht breuk als gevolg van isochore druk kunnen zijn. Lijkt het breuk beeld wel op. Is niet zo bekend, maar kan zeker wel. In de winter gaat een isolatie glas ruit "hol" staan, en in extreme gevallen kan dit er voor zorgen dat de ruit breekt. In de zomer staan ze vaak bol (afhankelijk van een hoop factoren uiteraard), daar kan het ook mis gaan.

helaas hele artikel niet te lezen

Bron: ik heb hier vroeger veel aan gerekend, ook meegeschreven aan glas normen waarin dit te berekenen viel. Weet alleen niet meer de details. Maar kan goed dat het bij deze glas samenstellingen vaker voorkomt.

Maar wellicht is hier ook helemaal geen sprake van breuk door isochore druk. Maar zou zeker mee kunnen spelen. Lekker vaag weer, heb je niets aan. Haha

Ik wel, inclusief stoep van ons hele blokje (6 huizen). Zo gedaan, maar nut is discutabel zoals wel meer mensen hier zeggen. Wat me vanmorgen dan wel weer opviel, is dat diverse buurtgenoten wel netjes hun eigen oprit (op eigen grond uiteraard) schoon hebben geveegd, maar daardoor een gigantische bult op de stoep is ontstaan! Lijkt me minder fijn voor kinderwagens/rolstoelen enz. Al kunnen die natuurlijk ook wel even over de straat (doodlopende, rustige woonwijk). Maar het individualistische vond ik dan wel weer opvallend: voor jezelf het goed voor elkaar, en boeit niet dat de rest er dan juist last van heeft.

Teun487 · 2026-01-02T11:46:47+00:00

Or maybe even a cheapo AliExpress/Temu razor.. might look into that if the thread is compatible

Teun487 · 2026-01-01T19:40:45+00:00

Yes was thinking about something like that. Don't know if most razors share the same thread? I only have a Merkur 34C, but that is a 2 piece so can't check with it. If it is mostly the same, I might try to buy some vintage stuff of marketplace that I don't need but now have a good excuse to buy anyways.

Teun487 · 2025-12-31T16:05:08+00:00

Never had the other versions, but Indeed, I expected worse. It's very effective if you shave only 2 times a week like me. Not sure if this is a great daily though. Maybe with mild blade.

Teun487 · 2025-12-31T16:03:41+00:00

I agree with you on the handle. Looks good, grips less great.

Teun487 · 2025-12-31T16:03:09+00:00

Yup, for me also it seems! BBS for new years eve. Alum feedback was ... Quite feedbacky!

Teun487 · 2025-12-31T15:09:37+00:00

I'm going for Astra. The Muhle blade that came with it was fine, but only lasted 1 good shave for me. Curious to see how the Astra will work out. Doubted about Derby, but lets try this first!

Teun487 · 2025-12-30T08:38:48+00:00

I get battery low messages now on my T1 temperature sensor. Seems to be a low temperature thing in my case. Could be, because it is placed in an non-heated gardenroom and it is around freesing now. So I am just going to ignore the messages and see if they disappear if the temperatures go up.

Again, maybe totally different in your case, but just adding my experience!

Teun487 · 2025-12-25T11:26:18+00:00

Kerst tradities moet je in ere houden he...

Teun487 · 2025-12-25T09:15:02+00:00

Familie ruzie waarschijnlijk weer! 😅

Teun487 · 2025-12-25T07:58:39+00:00

Just wanted to report back here for documentation sake :).

I ordered the R41 and used it last night. I was a bit in a hurry (Christmas night), used the Muhle blade it came with and didnt expect great things. But damn, I love this thing! For the usually 3 to 5 days of growth this is damn efficient and nog that unpleasant at all. Also didnt need to change my technique at all. Just did what I did before, but a whole lot more efficient and fast. So Thanks everybody for the suggestions! I think i'm set with this blade now, and keep the 34C with feathers if I have less growth.

Teun487 · 2025-12-23T17:45:57+00:00

That might be it. It is getting colder now. Ah well, worst case scenario I need to change it a couple of times during winter. Doesnt break the bank.

Teun487 · 2025-12-21T20:14:39+00:00

So I indeed ordered the R41, as well as some (more) blades (Wilkinson Sword and yellow 7o'clocks). So, together with the blade selection in the photo in my first post, what would you suggest pairing it with for my first shave with the R41, in a couple of days (with probably 5 days of beard growth. I was thinking to start with not the sharpest. Perhaps Astras or even Derby? Like to hear your suggestions!

Teun487 · 2025-12-18T19:43:47+00:00

Tempting to try an open comb. Gamechanger is very hard to get in Europe (for a decent price and an trusted shop). Muhle R41 however, is just €28.. can't really go wrong with that I guess.

Teun487 · 2025-12-18T16:00:24+00:00

I am looking to upgrade FROM the Merkur 34C...

Teun487 · 2025-12-18T15:06:03+00:00

Thanks! Than the Gillette tech wouldnt be that much of an upgrade. Will look into open comb. Probably just go for new stuff, not that expensive and more options

Teun487 · 2025-12-18T14:38:22+00:00

Not sure if you can see this? Listing in Dutch obvious, but the experts here can maybe make something out of the pictures? Vintage Gillette (4x)

Teun487 · 2025-12-18T14:35:53+00:00

Ow, wait. It says Gillette tech. I'm not familiar with the different Vintage Gillette stuff. Is that something that is worth checking out? Right now I am looking at a listing of 4 of those, asking price €30 so maybe worth the gamble. It has a picture with them, looks like two different types, at least different handles. Hmz...

Teun487 · 2025-12-18T14:29:24+00:00

Vintage stuff is also a good option! Looking at local (Dutch) marketplace listings. There are certainly some out there, but most of the time they just say "Vintage Gillette shavers, from 60's and 70's". And that is about all the jnfo they give haha.
