Happy Fougère Friday ✌️
Rating: 4.5/5
Which version of the R41 is this? It looks so much better than mine!
Technically it’s just a R41 head on the handle of my R89. If you were to buy it new though, it’s listed as the MUH-R41BLACK.
Which version do you have?

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Oh Baby! Wow! What a shave! First, the freshness and greenness of the Nuàvia Verde scent always brightens my day, and that scent was complemented by the refreshed edge on this Dovo.
For the refresh, I started the edge on my Nakayama Jnat but finished it with nagura slurry on my Black Arkansas. This is a completely new progression for me and I did not know what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sharpening experience. I was quite surprised at the uniqueness of the edge-feel. Naturally, I made a video.
Despite what my autocorrect tries to tell me, the soap is not actually “Shite”.
Joining u/EldrormR for a ShireFriodurMotherlode shave. This is a fantastic setup and feels a bit like shaving with a cheat code. Gentle lather monster, great soap base, silky smooth blade.
I’m happy to see that the straights are treating Eld well!

Friday, July 19, 2024: Hawt!
It’s hot today, and I am melting in my chair. My attempt at refreshing myself by shaving has been largely unsuccessful – my face is cool, but the rest of my body continues to be sweaty and hot. The shower calls!
Have a good day!

I think this might only work for head shavers like me. The mentholated soap (or WS-23/Koolada) needs a bigger surface area of your body like the scalp to actually achieve a broader refreshment. Ofc there’s also body shaving, but I guess anything but lightly mentholated soap shouldn’t go there for… comfort reasons.

My wife would object to a dome shave - and menthod makes me think more of my grandma & Klosterfrau Melissengeist than refreshment…
