Open Comb razors are great for shaving longer stubble, and the MUHLE R41 Open Comb is no exception. The Open comb design means shaved bristles and foam slide away under the blade, rather than clogging it up. This makes for a closer, more comfortable shave – just what you want.

The fact that there is a gap between the teeth of the comb allows more lather to remain on the face since it goes through the spaces. As a result, you will get a closer shave. This option is not recommended for daily use or for people with sensitive skin.

Is it aggressive?
