Anyone want to try out the R41 Razor?

what vintage are they?

I am assuming they are antique; are they for using or for admiring do you think?

I'd rather not open them to be honest, I've got so many others to use.

Don't be daft. They're good blades apparently. Would like to hear your take on them.
 
ok cool, thanks.

i will of course be using a Muhle blade in the R41 tomorrow morning. review to come.
 
I'd use the Light Brigades in a Fatboy/Slim ideally. But basically ANYTHING except the R41.

They are very sharp blades. Not something to be playing with in an R41 you haven't seen for 9 months.

Yeah I was thinking of using one in my Progress.

Oh I'll probably give it a go at some stage. Usually the first stroke you know if it's a bad idea or not with the R41.

Nah she enjoys nothing more than you lull you into a false sense of security and then you really open up to her…often a capillary, even though she's angling for an artery.
 
I think the general consensus has been that it doesn't matter, it will try to kill you no matter what you use.

Special thanks to @borked for the excellent packaging and care he took returning this to me, and for the pack of Wilkinson Sword BP blister pack blades. Very impressive and what a top bloke you are.

I only did what I'd expect from others and as for the blades, consider them a collective gift from those who participated, even if they have only become aware after you posted about them ;)
As for the razors condition, I aimed for it to be shave ready straight out of the box.
I hope that was achieved.

They are $1+ a blade territory and intended for you to try.
Hope you enjoy them.

The razor was in brilliant condition. A colleague in my office commented "oh god you bought another bloody razor" when I opened it so it looked new.
Packaging was first grade.
I will try the blades out in my Progress.
Again, thank you.

Glad you liked it @JugV2 . Was good practice customising the soft foam to fit, as I was cutting my teeth for the bespoke innards of my Pelican hardcase for my cameras.

Thanks again for the trial mate. Monday morning I try my R41 (2013) - yep your fault - with the new Muhle blades. Don't worry I'll have 000 on speed dial.
 
Yeah, it did arrive to me in good packaging.
My experience enhanced/improved upon it, yet credit is shared in that department at least.
 
GWS giants ?
 
Welcome to the club in that case :)
What area ?

Almost ended up growing up in knuckle dragging territory that our mutual friend @gthomas04 claims is civilised these days, yet ended up in the South West immersed within the thugs life.
