An efficient two pass shave. The R41 has quickly moved its way up my list of favorite razors. Same for the TOBS  Cedarwood scent. Sharper blades like Feather or Kai work well in this razor and require less passes and touch up. Less passes=Less irritation. This particular brush has a floppy knot and is excellent for painting motions rather than splaying. I am also going to dedicate the next few shaves to using the Barbedeaux aftershave to see it works its wonders. The post feel never disappoints, and their customer service is top notch. I pick up a slight mandarin scent with it, but it's light and not overwhelming.
