    For 10 days beard shave, Mühle R41 can be efficient. But always nervous with that razor.
    Captain Joe after shave splash bottle looks nice & unique.
    Cavendish is one of my favorite tobacco scent soap.
    Tobacco scent is classic, and cherry note is so sweet!
    Congratulations on no nick & cut safe shave, Aaron!
    Have a great week!

      Hi Hoon! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! I appreciate it! Yes, the r41 is extremely efficient, but is also super aggressive. It's not a razor I would want to use as a daily driver. Love the captain joe bottle! More artisans should have cool bottles like this. Glad you also like cavendish! It's a really great scent, I agree. Love the cherry tobacco accord. Thanks again Hoon and have a great week!

    The Cavendish sounds great. Love the R41/Feather combo. Really took that down with no problem. Well done. I often use Feather but don't have a R41. We're heading to West Virginia this Friday for a couple days. It'll be nice to get away. Finally found a sitter for my Boston Terrier, Ace. Great shave as always. Like you say, no reason to fear the Feather or an aggressive razor. Just pay attention and take it slow. Once again my man, well done.

Cavendish is great is you're into tobacco scents. Never seen anyone who doesn't like it. Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised with the r41 feather combo. I thought it was gonna wreck my face, but now I can't wait to use it again. It's perfect for my coarse hair type. I'm in this hobby for comfort and not speed, so taking it slow is always my route. Glad you feel the same. I've driven through WV but never stayed there. It's beautiful though, I hope you have fun there. I want to go to the national park they just made there (New River Gorge). Looks amazing. Enjoy your trip and your week!!

    I've had a Muhle R41 for yrs, never once was i inclined to use a feather blade in it.With it's aggressive nature I can use any blade and get a very close shave. I'll save my Feathers for less aggressive razors like the Merkur34c..

    • @DoubleAshaves
      @DoubleAshaves  11 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, you have a solid point here. I've been using the r41 a ton since this video, and you're spot on that any blade in this bad boy can produce a fine shave. Although I had a bad experience with Treet 7 Day blades and had to switch to astra greens. Don't know what that's about. Really the only blade that's given me issues. I also agree that feathers in mild razors is a great mix. Takes it up just a step. Have a great week and thanks for subscribing!

    Hi Aaron. Great shave. You tamed the beast. I don’t have this razor but I do have Cavendish. It is one of my favorites from PAA. I did notice they no longer have CK1. I see a few new soaps on there and I also noticed they no longer have Clown Fruit. Have a nice evening.

Happy to hear you're also a cavendish fan. I don't think I've met anyone who doesn't like it. It's just awesome smelling. Yeah so PAA has many seasonal soaps, so that's why you're not seeing clown fruit right now. He releases that one in October, so be on the lookout around then.

    Cavendish is hands down my favorite scent and set. I have CK1 as well and it's perfect. I'm not looking forward to having to use CK6 but I get that having multiple bases is a pain but hopefully he will reconsider. The aftershave is spectacular. The scent is perfect and the skin feel is second to none for my face. I know even without trying it that the R41 isn't for me. I'm not into aggressive razors anyway so no big deal. Excellent shave. Thanks for sharing!

    • @DoubleAshaves
      @DoubleAshaves  Год назад +1

      Hey Eric! Thanks so much for your continued support and time. It’s very much appreciated. Yeah, cavendish is a great scent I agree. It’s always a safe choice in my book. Yeah from a business perspective I get why he would phase out ck1. Still a bummer but ck6 is good stuff. In my opinion it’s easier to lather than ck1 which is good. I always double his splashes as colognes on days where I don’t shave because of the scent strength. No need for the edt when the splash scents last so long. I’ll tell you right now, I wouldn’t use the r41 as a daily driver. It requires you to go slow and focus a lot. Which i wouldn’t be in the mood for a lot. But im happy I have it in the den for kicks and giggles. It mowes down the hair like no other. Have a great weekend man!

    Thanks for the video! I recently purchased an R41 head that I've paired with a Razorock Bulldog handle. It certainly makes for a hefty beast of a razor. Still getting my technique down, but the R41 has been more user-friendly than I anticipated (although like you said, the blade feel is significant).

    Sorry I'm late! I like your channel and the building lather procedure on the face.
    This lather is close to my preference, heavy, dense, very creamy 🤩
    The CK6 formula of course is even better! I have the Astra Planeta and recently I scored a Harvest Moon, a totally fall scent.

But I just like getting the most out of my shaving soap. I agree ck-6 is crazy good, and is a noticeable upgrade from ck-1. Even though ck-1 is still a good base. Those are great scents. I absolutely love harvest moon, one of my favorites from PAA. Wish I saw more people using it. Have a great weekend!

    Hey, Aaron! Great that you are making these videos!
    From what I see, my facial hairs should be close to yours: thick and coarse, and I usually shave every 2nd-3rd day. So, I want you suggestion: if I want something more aggressive than my Muhle R89 is (it is too mild for my beard), would you recommend the R41? Or should I rather look for something slightly milder? (A sidenote: I do wet shaving for 5 months now, so my skills may be far from ideal.)
    Cheers!

I’m not a razor expert by any means.I have a decent number of razors, but nowhere near some of the other guys in the hobby. Never used a muhle r89 before unfortunately. I will say the muhle r41 is pretty darn aggressive. It’s efficient for me but I wouldn’t use it as a daily driver. I’m a pretty experienced shaver and even I don’t feel super comfortable using it yet. Currently my favorite aggressive but comfortable razor head is the maggard v3a. I have it in the black, looks awesome. I love the way it shaves me. I urge you to go check it out, it’s also affordable. Hope this helps man! In the meantime I’ll see if I can think of another razor that I like. Cheers my friend!

    • @DoubleAshaves
      @DoubleAshaves  Год назад +1

    Ah the 41, a great choice for a 10 days growth, I'm not into aggressive and lots of blade exposure razors myself but my beard is not coarse nor wiry, as always YMMV. I don't do well with Feather blades, I can only use Feather blades if I cork them first, the only blade I do that with. Makes sense for PAA (Doug) to consolidate his base to the more popular newer CK-6 formula, reduce the jar size to 4oz and reduce price to a more approachable US$19.95, although I'm not collecting PAA soaps myself, I'm reducing the number of brands I collect so I can use (show off) the ones I have more often during my soap rotation (my collection is still 150+ soaps). Take care Aaron!👍🤠

      Hey Lawrie! Thanks so much for your time watching and continued support. Always appreciate you my friend! Yeah I figured it was a great time to review this bad boy since I took a few days off shaving. No surprise it took care of the hair no problem. Yeah I’ll tell you right now, it’s not a tool for everyone. I’m not familiar with corking blades, I’ll have to research that. But a lot of others say they don’t do well with feathers too. I can see why people would want a less aggressive blade. You’re right, it does make sense how Doug would use his new base only and reduce jar size. From a business perspective it makes total sense. Should’ve discussed that more in my video haha. I thought I had lots of soaps, but guys like you and Ben (soap thing) crush me haha. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m looking at those numbers later down the road though. Too many I want to try and not enough room. Take care my friend and hope all is well over there!

So frankly I'm not the biggest razor expert. But I will tell you that if you're okay with spending a little more ($40 range) on a Merkur 34C, you will not regret it. It was my first razor and I still love using it now. It's very forgiving and feels effortless to shave with. But at the same time feels really comfortable. I know many others who have also started with it and still love it now. Another razor that is similar in design and price is the Edwin Jagger de86/89 (handle is the only difference). I find this one to be very similar to the merkur 34C and is another good beginner option. Hope this helps :)! Have a great day!

      HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Do any Pucks or bar Soaps out there? You can mix and match old Soaps? to fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) Cut the bar soap up on a paper plate, pour the soap, shavings and chunks from your plate into a mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, microwave your soap and cups or mugs? put your paper plate under your cup in case it bubbles out of your cup? for a minute or so? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. (You can use any Hard Soaps You like??) Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money in these Inflationary Times. Your mileage may vary? Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year
