I had previously owned the original r41(the smaller handle one) and well now I bought the grande. The main difference of course is the handle. The shave is still an excellent shave. I have only owned about 2 other razors and the R41 is by far the closest and best shave I can have. I am 100% satisfied with this product. Highly recommend it. God bless 🙏
The heavier handle does what the product description says that it does. I definitely have to let the weight of the handle do the work. Should I try to get in a hurry, the razor is unforgiving. It gives a great smooth shave when used as instructed. I was able to get the latest model for a $20 discount - well worth the money spent.
Same quality of the original R41 with slightly fatter, longer handle. Quality is fantastic. The R41 is NOT a beginning wet shaving razor. I had been shaving with DE razors for several years before I purchased my first R41. It is the most aggressive DE on the market. When you are ready for this razor, it will not disappoint.
A well constructed and very efficient razor. With the right angle and careful pressure, a smooth shave is guaranteed with no cuts, even with Feather blades.
