It tickles my fancy, but hey, call me simple...

Also, here is a shot of some pork belly I've got rolling in the mini right now

My God, man, these kind of posts need to be done in Russian!

Or. 
Боже мой, мужик, такие должности нужно делать по-русски!

That'd mean throwing away 52 unused razors per year...

I love the great use of the mighty mini. However I cant say that I’m to fond of the choice of razor.

Razor schmazor.  They're all the same.  At the end you are shaved.  The only key is how much time did you waste doing it.

Buy a decent safety razor and you can shave for 2 years on $25 worth of blades.

Could not disagree more strongly.  disavow that green slime in the 'edge' can, get a good Badger brush and make your own lather and get a decent razor and start your day off right.

Interestingly, @Spaightlabs, I have two people agreeing with my statement and only you disagreeing with it.  

I knew I might catch the attention of someone who views shaving differently than I do.  I just didn't know it would be you.

At the end of the day you may as well eat alpo, it still feeds you.  What kind of logic is that?

Legume

Just shave in the shower with cheap hair conditioner.  Use one of these

And they are actually really sharp (unlike multi blade stuff) and stay sharp for longer. A single blade feather in a DE razor works way better for longer than any disposable multi blade.

Old fashioned safety razor and Barbosol , shave every day for about $20 a year. Tried everything and have been on this 5 years.  Will never change

This is simply not true. It’s like saying a grill is a grill or a truck is a truck. 
I have a hunch that you was probably only kidding. However if you really are sincere in your thoughts, simply shave one side of your face with whatever razor that you currently use and then shave the other side with the Muhle R41. I give you my word you will no longer believe that all razors are the same.  Most folks that have never used a DE razor and try to jump in with an aggressive razor like the Muhle usually end looking like they have been in a knife fight.

What’s a decent starter DE?

There are many great ones. I usually recommend the Parker Variant because it’s adjustable. It will save you from having to buy a different razor in the future. You can turn it down to its lowest setting for a very safe shave. As you get use to it you can start putting it on higher settings for more aggression. It’s a great razor for beginners and seasoned vets due to its adjustability. 
The Merkur Futur falls into this same category. However the Futur is extremely large. Thus if you have small hands and/or a small face, the Futur is not really for you. 
It’s hard to recommend a beginner razor to someone without knowing a few things about the person like face and hand size. However the Parker Variant is not overly large and it is adjustable so it’s usually the one I recommend. It’s a great, well made razor at a reasonable price that you will never out grow due to its adjustability. Again, if you have big hands and a large face, then go with the Future. If you don’t, give the Variant a look.  
For the record, as great as it is, in no way is the Muhle R41 for beginners. It is simply to aggressive.

@sgh Appreciate the detailed write up.  With a little searching I found a good review.  This guy has your same passion.

My pleasure brother. I will always do my very best to help a man cook better or get a great shave. It’s about the only two things that I’m good at so I’m always happy to help out.

For each Muhle R41 sold, @SGH gets a free firewire.

I think Scottie is manipulating the Muhle marketplace with all of this hype. He cornered the Muhle market back in the late 80s and is looking to make a large profit.

You know what, that explains everything. Scottie is just pumping his stock and since hipster beards seem to be in style, something needs to be done.

@baychilla, that's a legit question.  I'll give you a legit answer.

One of the reasons I look forward to weekends is because I don't have to shave.  I don't look forward to days when I don't have to eat.

And now there are 5 who have agreed with my original statement and only one who has disagreed.  

That doesn't make me 'right" as there is no right or wrong on this.  It may just be that I am not sophisticated enough to appreciate a fine shave.  I get that.  

But mostly I just wanted to get a rise out of the sophisticated shavers here.

@Foghorn ah I understand.

People on here are polite (mostly), almost British in fact.  Normally it's agree or simply nothing. The fact that you got one disagree that wasn't just fat fingers is notable.

I thought that was any part of the internet whenever politics were discussed.
