Very close and soft
Posted by Dmitry on 15th Aug 2020
Very close shaving with R41 head. Perfect addition to my Muhle R89. It gave me what I had been missing in the shaving process for so long.

Appears to be exactly like my original...
Posted by DrewChubbs on 10th Aug 2018
I have not taken the opportunity to use this replacement head during a shave yet. However, in comparing it visually next to my fairly new original head, it appears to be exactly like the original. I will try this head on the original Muhle handle first, and then I will try it on a few other handles I have at my disposal. My big interest in this is to have an R41 shave when I'm on the road, without having to risk losing or damaging my existing R41. The R41 simply gives the best shave, time and time again, for my face. I've got hundreds of dollars of razors that, while they're great, are no longer getting much use.

Step up from Jagger DE89 Closed Head
Posted by pob on 5th Jan 2017
Trying to improve my shave from a Jagger DE89 closed head using Personna Platinum Chrome blades. Muhle R41 Open head screwed straight onto E Jagger DE89 handle (same company?). Thought by going to an open head, I might get a better result. First few days needed a re-learn on technique, with major amount of nicks as I tried to shave as before. I slight tilt of the razor head & I started getting much better results, fewer chin & nose nicks/slices. Much closer/smoother shave. V happy with it.

Simply the best shave
Posted by Raphaël SJ on 27th Nov 2016
R41 provide a very close shave. It is an aggressive razor yet if you respect it enough it will give you the best possible shave. The head can be use with most handles. Tried it on a Parker 24c and on Edwin Jagger de86 and both mix gave me fantastic shave.

Best head ever
Posted by Matthew on 27th Jun 2016
This is by far the best razor head i have used to date. The overall aggressiveness is perfect. This head is well engineered to perfection. I recommend buying two. One for now and one for just in case moments. For the price its worth it to buy two. Paired with the proper blade to your liking i can get a two pass perfect shave.

Great head
Posted by Andy on 3rd May 2016
I ordered it as second head for my Muhle R89, but now I think it will become my first head. It is a bit more aggressive than R89, provides a smoother shave .
Give this razor the respect it deserves and you won't be disappointed.

Great aggressive/efficient head
Posted by Bhagi on 5th Feb 2016
I really like how close this shaves. I need just 2 passes while I normally need 3. But, you have to take it easy and apply no pressure, otherwise there will be irritation.

Pure excellence
Posted by Officer Fred on 23rd Dec 2015
Since I'm lazy and usually have to fight already almost a complete beard when shaving, I thought I'd give the Mühle open comb a shot. I put this on one of my Edwin Jagger DE89Ls and boy, oh boy...
It only takes a couple of passes to cut down the heavy stuff, and it gives a really close shave. I feel much more comfortable using this in a hurry than a straight razor, or a closed comb DE which takes more passes to clear the stubble.
At this price, and because the handles last forever, I think I will play it safe and order more of these next time! Definitely a good purchase.

the best
Posted by Bob on 12th Jun 2015
I put a stainless steel handle on this beauty, and i have been rewarded with the closest shaves of my life. Great fit and finish. Give this razor the respect it deserves and you won't be disappointed.

Whoa! What a damn good shave
Posted by Moshin on 11th Jun 2015
I ordered a replacement top plate for my Muhle R89, after the razor slipped out of my hand, hit the floor tiles and broke from the handle after aggressively shaking off the water after my shave. I was abroad at the time and couldn't find a replacement in Bangladesh, and had to wait until I got back to London, UK. Since I already had the Muhle R89 handle and ordered a replacement plate, I figured I'd try the R41 head as it would be a compatible fix with the R89 handle. Whoa!! After my first shave with this magnificent piece of German engineering, I can completely understand why so many wet shavers around the world praise it so highly. Yes it is aggressive, but smooth at the same time, and really does a fantastic job chopping your facial hair in one pass. You can hardly feel it shaving sometimes, and is as close as a straight razor shave IMO if not better than a straight without the fuss of stropping and honing. I do use a straight shavette sometimes when I've got the time, but for a close and quick straight shave equivalent, you won't regret buying a Muhle R41. Can't praise this razor enough.

Great shave

I ordered this head to upgrade my DE89, it provides a smooth shave with only 2 passes. Just a little aggressive.

Muhle Replacement Head R41 OC
Posted by Tim H. on 1st Apr 2015
If you wish to get the closest shave yet in two passes, this is the Razor head to do it. Will it be your everyday razor? No but if you don't shave until the second day or wish to shave on the weekend, this is the razor to do it with. Beautiful Razor and very close shave. Buy and you will be happy you did.

great open comb head
Posted by Harry on 31st Mar 2015
Got the head to use with my favorite stainless steel handle and it works great. Open comb and gap allows you to play around with the angle so it could be medium or aggressive. Finish is great. Best purchase for the price.

Muhle R41 Replacement Head
Posted by Dominic on 30th Mar 2015
If you already have a suitable handle this is a cost efficient way to try out the R41. As usual superb service from Shaving. ie

Good opportunity for combinations
Posted by Vladimir on 24th Mar 2015
Very good offer for those who want to have in your arsenal are two types of razors from Muhle:
standard closed comb for quick shave every morning (Muhle R 89);
open comb for a closer shave that requires a steady hand and free time for shaving (Muhle P 41).
A good way to combine a razor head with a variety of handles.

Close shave!
Posted by James on 18th Mar 2015
Great head for guys with a tough beard, the R89 is too mild for me. This has reduced shaving time for me, and I can use a wider range of blades instead of just Feathers.

Best Aggressive Razor
Posted by 4incase on 5th Mar 2015
This razor is the best in it's class. If you are looking for an aggressive razor for tough whiskers this is it! I do not recommend this as your only razor. This is great for heavy growth. Great audible feed back. The key is to be mindful not to apply any pressure. The razor will do all the work. I coupled this head with a heavy handle from the matador toro mastiff.

Great way to try the R41
Posted by Bill on 30th Jan 2015
I already owned an Edwin Jagger DE89 Barley Chrome and ATT Kronos, and wanted to try the R41 without having to buy an entire razor. The replacement head was a perfect solution. It is definitely aggressive, and I would not want to use the R41 every day, but it can reward you with a great shave if you take your time.

Great Blade
Posted by Henry on 30th Dec 2014
Great blade for perfect shave. Just a too aggressive for my skin but excellent.

A really smooth shave
Posted by Bob DeAngelis on 7th Sep 2014
With just a little extra care, this head can give a smooth one-pass shave to even sensitive facial skin. I mounted my R41 head to a vintage Gillette gold Fat Boy handle and I seemed to have greater control of the blade angle. There were no cuts or nicks on the first shave.

My favorite razor...
Posted by DigitalDome on 25th Jun 2014
I ordered the R41 head and put it on my Bulldog Handle. What a terrific combo! All the weight and balance that you could expect from a first class shaver. You have to pay attention when using the R41, but I always find it to be a close, comfortable shave.

Smooth shaves
Posted by Scotty on 21st Jun 2014
Definitely aggressive. Love you have the option to buy the head only! For me this is a very efficient shaver which allows me to get very close shaves with less passes leaving no irritation. I have it on a bulldog handle and have tried persona lab blues, feathers and polsilver super iridiums and have achieved great results with all of them. My new favorite!
