Thank you sooo much for the shout out 😎👌Sophie was so happy! She’s went to bed with a smile ear to ear bless 😁👍can’t thank you enough 💙🏴
That’s great! Glad I could help.
A shave with the razor that you hate, a brush that you don't like and a soap that is not your favorite.
That sure made me laugh 😂
I shaved with a shavette a razor Sinatra doesn't like using derby blades that alot of people seem to like and which I don't like but decided to give a second chance and it literally pulled the whiskers off and after 2 passes not a marvellous shave, but I'm an optimist and the Nick's this blade gave me I see as an improvement on my first derby blade shave but I dumped the blade when finished so it'll be back to the wilkionsword blade for next time i get my old cut throath out which I love shaving with just not with a derby blade.
But in fairness I didn't get razor burn which I always got with a catrage razor.
I love the R41, whether I haven't shaved for 2 days or 2 weeks, R41 = effortless bbs shave.
Pair it with milder blades like GSB to tone it down just a little bit and it's perfect.
whats GSB?
@@DaveShaves44 Gillette silver blue
@@MichaelRose87 ahhh thanks
Yeah, with Gillette SB it's work super comfortable 👍
I agree. I put some Astra's or Wilkinson Sword in mine.
As someone with ultra sensitive skin, and someone that prefers to use a straight razor when shaving, my favorite DE razor has to be the R41 with Bic blades, I love the blade feel but treat it as a open bladed razer like I would a straight, having the perfect amount of pressure while using proper technique of "riding the cap" gives the quickest, smoothest and least irritating shave I have ever got from any kind of DE razor. I really think technique is super important when using the R41 to give the best shave possible for most people.
100% agree was forced to use my R41 soley for a month and with practice I simply cannot go back to closed comb razors. I treat it with respect. 2 passes max
I got a straight razor from the barber's a while ago it has disposable blades but I'm afraid too use it
@@alexblue6991 it can be pretty scary to try and use a straight razor, I would suggest only trying to shave your sideburns very slowly or maybe just practice a bit on your arm if you can for a few weeks or months. This was mainly the way I learned how to use a straight razor without slicing myself up. I prefer the straight razors with disposable blades myself. Good luck if you make the jump to learn how straight razor shave!
I’ve always loved the R41 a lot. The design, feel in hand, and ultimately for the way it shaves. It is undoubtedly a plenty aggressive razor, with appreciable blade feel and is understandably not for everybody, clearly not for a daily shave, and presumably not for newbies.
The first pass with the R41 is one of the most efficient and satisfying feeling I’ve ever got with any DE razor.
I shave just twice a week, so I’ve always preferred mid-to-aggressive razors anyway. The R41 with a Feather blade is frequently in my razor rotation. I will always keep, use and enjoy mine. I just wish it had a genuine open comb, or maybe offered a dual comb version.
You have a Gillette Slim Adjustable there. What blows my mind is that fact that you can spend an hour scrolling through ebay just seeing dozens of slim adjustables on there with new ones popping up all the time. Gillette must have sold millions of them back in the day.
Sea spice lime is definitely one of my favourite scents. To me, the ‘sea spray’ takes me right back to my younger days when I used to spend half the summer surfing, and the smell of the dried salt / sea water on my hair & skin afterwards. Another great video. Thanks 😊
I've never had a desire to try the R41and you've convinced me I never will. I'm not into aggressive safety razors. Just be glad you didn't spend $250 for a Rex Ambassador. It's a great-looking, quality-made, adjustable safety razor. But I never get a comfortable, nick-free shave if I want a nearly BBS result. At least with my Rockwell 6S, I can get a smooth, close, nick-free BBS shave every time. Hope you had a relaxing Labor Day.
Agreed. My experience with the Gem Micromatic Open Comb proved that I do not like aggressive razors, like that.
I’ve got the Ragnar by Vikings Blade and have been very happy with it. It’s affordable at $50 so it won’t break the bank, and gives me a nice smooth shave.
I have more nicks when I shave with any mild razor than the with R41.
More this, usually I don't have any nicks with this "aggressive" razor.
Just smooth bbs and no cuts at all.
Incredible!
If you don't try at least couple times the R41 - don't judge. This is maxly different razor from others.
Only after R41 stubble growth like that. And this is feeling.
R41 - top!
@@stop.russian.aggression It's nice that you enjoy the R41. I don't need to try it to judge it. As I said, aggressive razors are not for me. To each his own. That's what makes traditional wet shaving so enjoyable.
@@BartBuzz it's not aggressive, it's efficient.
YOU NEED TO TRY IT)😉
Hey Brian! I just used my R41 with a Feather blade yesterday! It is a rough shave with that combo but I received a buttery smooth shave!! It's not a razor for daily use for me that's for sure! I use it when I have 2 or more days growth. That Slim is so hard to beat even with it's age!! You'll like that vintage case with the original blades! I have a mint fatboy in its original case plus the original blade dispenser UNOPENED with the instructions!! That will make it's worth even higher one day! Thanks for the video! Jim
I have a Seaforth shaving mug from probably the 1950's also I picked up the Spearhead Seaforth Heather and the Spiced versions. I really like them both. I think the one you have may be an homage to the Old Spice Lime. Have a great one Sinatra.
The Gillette Slim is my daily driver. Gives as mild or aggressive a shave as you want and without feeling aggressive. Better than my Fatboy and I think the best adjustable if not the best safety razor ever made.
Enjoying these videos with the cheerful musings and ideas on how to enjoy wet shaving as always. Never a dull moment. Random thought: I wonder if a Guinness record has ever been set of the most people wet shaving at the same time. Won't that be nice with all the online video chat platforms now making it much easier for more people to be in contact across the globe all at once?
The R41 is an open comb razor, that is why it is very aggressive. I had it and didn’t like it, although I kept using it until the handle broke for some reason. Now I’m using the Merkur 510 as my main razor and sometimes a 1962 Gillette Fatboy adjustable.
It’s not really an open comb. It just looks that way. It still has the safety bar. I wishing it were OC, though.
Just used my R102 (R41 head with resin handle). The only razor that will give me a comfortable but really close shave. But I used a mild Treet Classic this time and the Speick shaving cream, it worked great. Skin can be so different. But I'm glad you have your go to's and the Astra still work out for you 🤓👍🏻
It’s so true that we all get different results from both software and hardware in this hobby. I resisted trying the R41 for a long time, but once I did, I fell in love with it. Not for every day certainly, but great for three days growth. I use a mild blade in it and it is comfortable with no irritation. But again, we all react differently to these products.
The R41 is an aggressive razor, but it is very useful for when you grow a beard for awhile(e.g: No Shave November, etc...). I would suggest keeping it, SinatraLennon and use for those instances. It is a useful razor in that sense. I also suggest you try the Razorine Flatboy... it also is aggressive and can be used for instances of not shaving for a bit.
I thought I was the most wholesome person on the planet... turns out I don't even make the top 10...
It's been awhile... Still love, and watch all your videos. Son watches them now too. Less than average house... our drive was the kids... (daughters still here and out of University... but ready to leave the nest any time soon (mixed feelings.))
Son is now 17... and he has never used a deposable razor!
He enjoys the moment of peace in the morning too. Getting ready for the day. A ritual. Shaving is like game day... getting your head together - it's not the same thing as scrubbing your face with an electrical shaver while barely awake.
You are doing good work!
Good sir “DEEEeeeeeP RivERRRR” is from none other than National Lampoon Vacation, perhaps my favorite 80s movie ever. I love your movie references!
It’s in my top 5 for sure!
I watched your videos first for just learn shaving . Now I'm addicted to watch you're videos
You were full of energy today
It’s not often the Sinatra aborts a mission mid shave. But I agree. Comfort is everything. I like a little blade feel for the first pass and then dialing back aggressiveness on second pass. Also agreed on the Astra. To me they get better after the 4th pass or second shave. Taper off after 7. Trying Kai blades next.
I own the r41 and an r89. Usually I use the 89 with a feather blade but I just recently brought back the r41 and I’m absolutely loving it! I shave every other day but my hair grows thick enough for me to be able to use the r41 regularly. Instead of a feather blade I’ll throw a shark blade in there to tone it down.
Like an abusive relationship…helluva recommendation for a razor! That plus your least favorite brush and a soap that doesn’t mesh…a recipe for a really unsatisfying shave. But, it made for an entertaining video, a great replacement for the absence of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon! (I wrote this before you mentioned it at the end of the video). Last swim on Labor Day? Here in New England, I swim until November! Sea spray is the smell of the ocean…microbubbles containing organic matter formed by crashing waves…
I got behind on your videos and I just caught up. Thank you for the shout out!! I’ve been wanting to purchase a R41 but I haven’t gotten to it! If you’d like I’ll get it off your hands! I can Cashapp you for the shipment !
Hi, "riding the cap" does the trick for me with the R41. Now I found the Austrian Greencult razor - as efficient as the R41, but so smooth and controllable.
happy new year!
pls try using a steeper angle with your R41 - keeping handle mostly parallel to the face.
I love the “deep river” reference you made from Vacation. I always enjoy your Clark Griswold quotes. I believe that was the second time you’ve done deep river.
Clark is never far away in my reference bin!
No fluff. Your videos relax me (especially in the evening after a long day at the firehouse). You help me along on my wet shave journey. Thanks, friend. Much appreciated. Hope you enjoyed the “Lake spray”.🤣
Here here - another very experienced shaver that prefers neutral blade exposure - I love the 6S, Era 3, Meta-4 and Karve 3 plate… I despise the R41 it’s almost a razor blade bolted to a handle with no top cap or base plate. Hate it.
I love the R41. I get such comfortable shaves with it.
Yes, the Gillette adjustable “ slim” is a jewel. Found that the black beauty was a bit more aggressive.
I live not far from Miamisburg, OH! So cool :) I’m actually there right now for a doctor’s appointment 😆 Great shave man! And great choice to bag the R41 😆 Take care!
I've had heavy daily growth since my mid 20's, by afternoon/evening I look as though I havent shaved that day. Only been using safety razors for 3 months, R41 for the last 2 weeks and it's perfect for me.
I lived in West Carrollton and worked for NCR Microelectrronics in Miamisburg. Downtown Miamisburg featured a traffic circle and was best known for an ancient potato chip factory, and also a cart selling freshly grilled hamburgers.
Before the watch this I say that is the best razor!
Super smooth, no irritation, normal price, good finish, and very efficient.
After shave with this razor stubble growth different (feels super) and not so fast like after others. Try this.
YOU CAN BUY ONE R41 AND FORGET ABOUT OTHER RAZORS.
And I learned something about going swimming in Austin. If I will ever go there this will be on my to do list.
I forgot you uploaded on Monday 😂 my day is now better
Cool, that's Mr. Smelly's cologne. I'd like to try it, as I enjoy 70s/80s, old school fougere scents, and I like his taste in fragrances.
Not sure if it is the reference you were going for, but I went right to National Lampoons Vacation. My dad made us watch it every year before the family vacation for luck.
Just got around to ordering some moon soap.
Nice save SL👌. Too bad you don't like the M R41 lol, the same reason you hate it is the same reason why I like it. The feeling of the blade I enjoy once in awhile, but my go to razor is the Parker 99R. That aggressiveness is just that little bit less than the R41 but there. The best reason for wet shavers not to always follow others is "to each their own" phrase fits well. The best razor probably is one of the many adjustable versions, see your mild to aggressiveness and then start searching the multiple brands for a fave! Just like blade samples to see what they like. I goto the feather 🪶 for mostly all shaves including the R41 😆 🤣 which isn't for everyone for sure.
Keep rocking the great videos bud 👊
I have been growing my beard out for 3 days waiting on my Phoenix DOC. Kind of nervous because I have only been doing this for 6 months and this will be my second open comb razor. I sometimes have a rough time finding the right angle for a new razor so fingers crossed 🤞🏻.
The PAA DOC is actually a pretty mild razor. It's nice.
@@woodstock480 yeah I tried it out the other day. I was very surprised. It gave me one of the best shaved I have ever had.
Another great vid! It’s a shame you don’t like the r41 but at least you gave it a few tries before retiring it. Happy labour day from the UK and I loved the classic ‘walk out’ and back in for jokes! I wish you a great next shave and if you have enough time in the next nicer shave then a shout-out would be incredible. Can’t wait for the next one🪒
Great video as always! Been watching you since around 2013, so I have come to expect nothing less! An idea for you maybe is to put a small FAQ (frequency asked questions)in your videos along with the links you usually put in. Would hopefully be a win-win. Just a thought.
Been waiting for this thank you sinatralennon sir 🙏
Seaforth! was a popular brand of aftershave, shaving soap and other men's toiletries in the 1940's and 50's. The brand was known for its distinctive packaging and was a direct competitor to Old Spice and there is a very good chance our grandfather’s may have used it. From what I understand, Seaforth! and Old Spice used to have very nice holiday gift sets that most Dad’s or Grandfather’s could count on receiving one or the other depending on which one they preferred. Seaforth! has their own interpretation of the classic Old Spice simply known as “Spiced” and one named “Heather” which is a modern version of the classic Brut.
I hope the Sea Spiced Lime does keep growing on ya! It has really is a great scent for the summer months or warmer days in general I believe. Cheers SL!
Thanks again for the opportunity to even try this stuff. You’re the best!
I’ve always wet shaved since my grandpa taught me to shave , neither one of us liked electric very much. Started with bic which I hated , then a Mach 3 and finally pro fusion 5 blade which I loved. Started shaving my head in 2008 I happy with the profusion till recently . After I came across some of my grandpas old shaving supplies after he passed away I found a shaving brush with a shaving cup & soap. So I started to look into old style shaving with a safety razor, that’s when I came across your videos . Your videos have been a help with this style of shaving, I have purchased some shaving supplies you tested out . But the safety razor man their so many, I have been considering timeless razors they seem to be very high quality and American made . The price doesn’t bother me very much what’s your opinion on timeless? Keep up the good work on the shaving content and reviews
Timeless are quality razors but despite you wanting to spend a fair bit of money I would still start off with a razor like the Mühle R89. With that you can hone your technique see if it is too mild or aggressive for you too light or too heavy and then go from there.
I have the gift and the bronze they are great razors great shaves but the head is a little bit too big to get under the nose you really have to work to get it put one of my favorite is Rex ambassador XL that razor can do what everybody else is raises all in one it's an adjustable little pricey but well worth it
Neutron💈🪒 Happy Labor Day. 3rd pass was a waste, the first two was all you needed as the R41 slayed the growth. Nice shave. Seen any Northbound buses? Enjoy!
I love it (but more Rocca).
You have only to put it with the head on the skin (90° with no blade contatc) then close the angle a bit and when it catches, going down.
I don't suggest close angle with this razor (so it has to be used unlike Geo)
then you'll start love it
I started using Astra blades about 3 weeks ago. I used them every day for about two weeks. They gave me the worst razor burn I've ever had. They are absolutely my least favorite blades I've ever used. Sharks give me a better shave.
Funny you should mention the plastic cases I have looked all over eBay for one to use on my superspeed which didn’t include it’s original case.
Oh mate, R41 with Astra was my SOTN yesterday 😀
SL, put the R41 up for a give away of some sort. That way good razor will find a good home.
Not for me, though. I prefer a mild razor.
Gotta admire your willingness to use stuff you know you won't like. I have a shave stick I don't like much but use every couple months anyway. Waste not, want not.
I find it really funny, not in a mean way but it makes me laugh when you use the wrong names for razors 🤣. I'm an odd person, when i get into a hobby i dive in full speed and get obsessed and read as much as i can about it until eventually i find something new to obsess over. The second razor is the slim adjustable so i had to chuckle when you called it a super speed.
I have the R41 GS and it's my favourite razor. I even prefer it over my Rex Ambassador.
Bic is getting more & more knowledge look at what's out now the bic flex 3, flex 4, flex 5, the hybrid range there pretty good disposable razors i have them all now and they do the job pretty well 😀
I have to say, I got the Rockwell razor, which i know you love, but I really haven't liked it. My face looks like a map afterwards when I use it, I don't know if it's user error since I'm used to the Merkur 34c or what it is. It's a beautiful razor too, I really want to love it. I'm still going to give it a fair chance, because of the price if nothing else, but I would also really like to know what the problem is...
Give it at least 10 shaves in a row when you aren’t irritated from previous shaves. I got decent shaves from it but had my best shave today from plate 5. I almost sold it but told myself to give it time before I let it go. My opinion - good luck.
Just got my 1961 (G4) Gillette Slim with rhodium plating back from Razor Emporium. It is freaking beautiful !!!
I would love a razor like that. My beard is coarse and tough. Any possibility for a giveaway?
LOL! As soon as the guy said fougere I thought of Mr Smelly, and then he pulled out Gravitas Pour Homme. That is so funny. Did Smelly send you over a bottle? I have heard it is decent stuff, Gravitas. Nice video. Oh, you explained at the end!
The nicks are from the Muhle based on where they are located and when you stopped using it.
Coriander is what us Brits and probably others call cilantro. Either in berry or leaf 👍
I agree the R41 is not a comfortable razor. The way I have to use it is holding a very shallow angle, and it needs a sharp blade. I get the best results so far with a Perma-sharp Super. I get one good shave from that blade and that's it. The range of blades the R41 will "work" with is very narrow.
Was consistent practice R41 has turned into by far my favorite razor. I do less passes because its so good and my skin thanks me
The Maggard V3 felt like that to me. I primarily use old Gillette Techs or the new King Gillette razor you can buy from Amazon.
Great shave as always, Sinatra!
I've got quite the beard, Other than shaving my neck.
Also Happy Labor day!
I used to only use a Muhle R41 and i felt the same because i mostly use Treet Platinums, it would be a more comfortable shave with a smoother blade but i would have to buy another brand in bulk, then one day i decided to buy a Fattip Piccolo and i was able to get 4 shaves out of a Treet Platinum, i can still feel the blade but it isn't an uncomfortable shave
How was that blade..?? I was going to say you did not complain about the Astra but those nicks might have been the blade. I really like Astra they are 2nd on my favourite's list after Feather. Great shave - it motivated me to go and indulge!
The R41 is one my favorite razors. Each to his own.
I totally understand that you don't like that razor. I am aware it has many fans, and so is the company. For the R41's jubilee, they brought out limited editions made from stainless steel and, grasp, titanium, for the die-hard fans. I don't have one, though -- I have one aggressive razor in my collection, and it's more than aggressive enough. Run it over leg whiskers (which aren't as tough as male facial hair) and you hear a sound that reminds me of a wood chipper. I don't like using it anywhere else. Oh, and, yes, the bergamot belongs to the same family as the orange, although it looks more like a lime with a really thick skin. The skin is sometimes pickled with plenty of sugar and used for confectionary, but what is usually grown for is the essential oil in the peel. Among other things, it is used for Earl Grey tea, a tea people tend to either love or loathe, just like the R41. I used to be in the tea business, and I remember the essential oil as a rather aggressive chemical. It came in jugs that had the warning label for "causes irritation" (an orange triangle with a black X in it) on it, a label you can also find on lighter fluid in Europe. I remember that I sometimes had to rinse my eyes after working with it. The finished product, i.e. Earl Grey tea for brewing, usually has a concentration of 4% essential oil of bergamot, although some blends have as little as 0.25%. Such blends are often exported to Russia and the Middle East. Bergamot is also listed as a flavoring for the "General" blend of Swedish snus -- I am not sure if it's natural or synthetic, though. Since the customer base of smokeless tobacco consists predominantly of men, I suspect that bergamot is considered a masculine scent/flavor.
My R-41 sits on a shelf. I much prefer my other razors like my R-89, Henson or Rex Ambassador on a setting 1.5- 2.
Nice lampoon's vacation reference. Poor dog. Probably kept up for a mile or so.
Poor lil’ pooch!
Seaforth! Wow, hadn't seen that brand for decades. My dad used to use a Seaforth aftershave, back in the 1960s.
You should try the double edge safety razor from dollar tree…btw love the video.🎉
The shave cream might have been too new the first time you used it. I once had this issue with a weird perfume from a brand new shave soap so I now have another approach: if it's the first use, pour water in the jar so that all the cream is sunk. Wait for 3 minutes and empty the water, and then use the brush to make lots of foam but do not use the foam, just waste it. After this, the new cream will be redreshed and will smell better.
I hope everyone is doing well today it’s raining at Australia 🇦🇺 and I like history and safety razors because safety razors are cool and interesting of the history of it.
I'm assuming the 'Deep River...' is from National Lampoon's "Vacation". Such a great film.
Yep!
Ive gone back and forth on wanting to get an r41- Im curious to try it so I can have that frame of reference as it is always held up as one of the most aggressive razors- same for the merkur 34c as one of the most commonly used mild razors. how does r41 compare to fatip lo storto slant razor? or any other slant razor?
Never tried the R41, gotta add it to the list.
I got rid of my R41. Wasn’t comfortable and I have aggressive enough razors. Plus the handle was hollow and too light. Grande too big. Just had my best shave today with 6s - 5 plate. We’ll see if it continues. Almost got rid of the 6s but figured I should give it some time as I have others that shaved better.
I had the sea spice lime splash. Lingers too long and wife didn’t like it. I still have the soap and like it not sure if I love it - I do like it. That too lingers awhile and I and the wife smells it hours later. That is the only scent I have that lingers like that. My chemistry does tend to project scents.
Try a Parker Open Comb Razor like the 68s. It's efficient without being too aggressive. I can use mine everyday if I needed to.
If it’s a Monday and I haven’t shaved all weekend, I’m reaching for the R41. The rest of week maybe I’m going with my Merkur 38
I personally get the best shaves with a fresh Astra might just be my razor
Funny I used that same soap this morning and my RazorRock Lupo.
I love my Muhle R106 razor, but now my go to razor is my Vikings Blade Jr or my Isnar Mile adjustable razor, and for the Isnar Mile I keep it on 7 no matter if I'm usually my an Astra Green or using a Shark .
Interesting you mentioned the reason why you switched to the other razor was because it was adjustable. I was under the impression that because the Muhler R41 was a 3 piece that it implied it was adjustable. Just on that basis alone…this tells me I made the right decision to getting the Rockwell 6S because at least on this razor I can adjust the gap and therefore the aggressiveness.
3-piece, 2-piece or twist-to-open has nothing to do with being adjustable or not. There are adjustable and non-adjustable versions of each.
That said, the Rockwell 6S/6C is my favorite razor.
I keep coming back to the Merkur Futur…still hate it 😂
I hated that thicc thing too!
You should have a charity auction with all the things you don’t like to use. Think of the money you could raise!
I love R41, you need one pass and a couple of finishing and it's done. Not for everyday
Hey SinatraLennon! I know this is a late comment but, my boyfriend and I watch your show pretty much every night before bed because it’s just super relaxing. I didn’t understand it for awhile but I’ve come to really enjoy listening to you talk. I don’t know if you’ll see this comment or not but yesterday was my boyfriend’s birthday. His name is Kai, and he’s a big fan and I know it would make him so happy if you wished him a happy 26th birthday! We both love what you do, and I’m currently working on trying to break into voice acting because of you. Thanks for being one of my favorite parts of the day and for all that you do! 💕💕
Hey, thanks for the sweet comments! I’m glad that I can bring some small amount of joy to you and Kai’s day. If you have any questions about doing voice overs, just let me know! Shout out coming soon.
@@SinatraLennon thanks so much! I have a few questions about it, actually if you wouldn’t mind listening! Is there any platform I can message you on or an email I can reach out too?
@@SasukeUchiha489 email me at SinatraLennon@gmail.con
although ya dont like the first razor 2nd one turned it into a nice shave after all, stay safe, cheers...Peter
I love the R41, but if I go too intense to desperately get the closest shave, then it may cause irritation and/or knicks. If you don't like it then maybe R89 will suit you better
If you ever get rid of it I'll take it
I have a thick, dark beard so R41 is great for me
Happy labor day! We appreciate the way you work so we will be doing a full shift on Saturday. We all know that r41 is going to rise from the coffin on Halloween. Maybe get hit by a lightning bolt. Maybe a full moon. Maybe being buried alive under all the shave soaps and old razors makes him come back for revenge. It's never over. Never I tell ya. Never. 💀
I left my R41 for the Razorock .84 and havent looked back since brother.
So, the r41 has that much blade feel? Then how does it compare to your rockwell 6s on the 6 plate. I have the Rockwell and use 6 and sometimes feel like it doesn’t cut close enough. Also, being visually impaired an not being able to see well, I kind of enjoy the blade feel as it provides me feed back. I thought about getting the r41 or maybe a fatboy. Out of your genuine opinion would you go with a fatboy/ super speed( on a higher adjustment) over the r41. Thanks
P.s barbersol is the best shave cream.

The old man
Got it!
I’m not an R41 fan… I shave with mine maybe 6x per year and the result is always the same. Close, but uncomfortable.
You might get better results with aggressive razors by using a different technique. Try using long steady strokes instead of that chicken-scratch thing you're doing. Try it, you might like it.
This is a good tip. I know because I do that often just by habit with my aggressive razors. It feels and works out better that way.
