Man what a Epic Shave this Morning with the R41 GS.
Don’t like the handle it came with so I switched it out to a RR Halo handle.

Is this one more Efficient ?
Time will tell I have to run a few more of my Favorite blades through it to come to a Decision. ?

So I did the Boar break in thing.
Where you put your Brush in cold water in the fridge for 3 days.
Let’s take a look at my Progress.

First pick the Beginning.

Then I put it in the Fridge for 24 hrs and then washed it in Dawn dish soap.
Then squeezed out the water and rubbed it on a towel for 10 minutes.
( Definitely harder than it sounds. )

Starting to Splay a little.
Back into the Fridge it goes for another 24 hrs.

Repeat of day 1 but this time I wash it out in Tabac. Gave it a good Palm Lather. Then Rinse out and towel Again. The 10 minute rubs SUCK.

DAY Two pic Splaying Better.

The Ends split pretty good Definitely softer. I think it worked out Good.
Definitely Happy with the Outcome.

Well done! A lot more comfortable than breaking it in on one’s face 😂
