My "please don't come near me and leave me alone" setup

So not really an OC but a hybrid and a great razor. I have heard discussions on how the Muhle R41 is a great razor but made even more so with the addition of an aftermarket handle etc. Now I love my stock R41 and as I have mentioned before, it was my second ever DE after the EJ DE89lbl which incidentally, I still have and use. I am glad I spent some time getting to know and use it because it really helped my technique. Today I decided to see what the hype was all about and decided to use my newly acquired iKon bulldog handle with it. Well now the hypes is true! The extra weight of the iKon Handle made it an absolute dream.

Soap of the day was Amici by Italian Barber and a great summer citrus scent it is. Lovely soap to say the least. Great performer. Chubby 1 had no issues whipping up a great lather. Proceeded through a wonderful two pass DFS bordering BBS shave! Topped it off with the matching Amici AS splash and English Laundry Tahitian Waters EDP. Take care and happy shaves all!

Is that knot the largest Rooney Finest in your collection?

Thanks. Yes, its knot diameter is the largest. It's kind of an unapologetic monster. It really hogs lather, but I love it anyway.
