My anecdotal experience that what they claim is true about the blade flex. After a few weeks I started getting really bad irritation again. At first I wrote it off as just a bad few days of my skin being more sensitive than usual. But then I noticed that I hadn't tightened the blade as much as I should have. So I twisted it tight and was back to no irritation. I also figure that maybe the blade flex is why people swear by straight edge razors. As for the lightness, I've been using a razor I got that was handmade for years, and I was able to just swap the handles. I also didn't much care for the handle that came with the Hensen, but with the old handmade handle, it is fantastic.

Could you say which Rockwell plate the Henson Mild is similar to? I find Henson is a very mild razor and the head really drags on my skin so I plan on returning it. The included RK blades are the worst. Once it literally skipped across my chin like a rock skipping across water with an RK blade.
@OhioShaves
@OhioShaves 2 жыл бұрын
I don’t care for the RK blades either. As for Rockwell Plate #, may #2. There is a major difference in these razors. You have to get the correct angle on the Henson. With the Rockwell you do not, you can shave with a shallow or Steve angle, and still get a great shave 🪒

@@OhioShaves Ok I have had the Hensen AL-13 with RK Shaving Stainless DE Razor Blades since june 2023. Verdict? The best shaver is still my Gillette Fusion 5 Vibrating Razor . The Hensen is too aggressive and I have to be super carful or I will cut or razor rash my neck. Ruined a few shirts which has never happened with Gillette. Gillette Pros - Can shave fast no cuts easy no need to be careful if in a hurry - Does not clog easily - vibration help to shave even with a slightly dull blade Gillet cons - Price per blade is much higher than Hensen - Maybe does not shave quite as close but not far off. Hensen Pros - Price of blades !!! much less - simple - closer shave but at a cost Hensen Cons - Can dice up your face if not careful - Razor rash from it literally skinning your face, blades are too aggressive even the standard model If price were no option I'm going with Gillette, I've gone back to it and use the Hensen as a back up.

I didn't get it quickly because I didn't like light razors, especially cheap feeling aluminum. The Henson does NOT feel cheap and now it's weight feels amazing to me, I love it. You get used to the weight and you can keep going over spots if you need to without irritation. The titanium version, which I finally bought is a bit heavier and I love it but it is expensive.

Excellent deal. I used it with a Super Iridium blade. I loved the shave. It doesn’t shave real close, but close enough. No nicks, cuts or razor burn. Picks up a lot of hair on each pass. Rinses out, very easy. Compared to the Rockwell 6C, I’d say the Henson is better than the Rockwell with mild plates. Not overall, however.

I had a Merkur 34C since 2014. I would place it in the same spot every time after my shave and one of my 4 kids lost it a few days ago so I was in the market for one. I saw an ad for this and the guy seemed so genuine and authentic that I pulled the trigger and bought it. Looking forward to using it when it comes in the mail.

Thank you for the great review, I have to shave almost every day for my job so I grew up watching my dad use disposable and they absolutely destroy my face. So after 4 years of painful shaves and bad burning for days I started seeking answers for a better way to shave. Because of your review I just bought the Henson Ti22 in medium it’s a beautiful all titanium razor, I can’t wait to get it. I gave your channel the credit for how I herd about it so hopefully they send you one out !

I’m glad you like the Henson razor and went with the nacet blades. If I’m running late I’ll grab for one of my hensons as it is an autopilot shave. I picked up a high proof razor and that is even lighter than the Henson as I have to watch the pressure. My only complaint which is why I got the aggressive is that i can get a smooth shave but will have more of a 5 o clock shadow with the medium vs the aggressive. Honestly with all of the issues I had with Oneblade if Henson didn’t work out I would have probably gone back to cartridge razors.

Great video, have had my eye on that razor for awhile, going to buy it in January, looking forward to see how it compares to a standard design DE razor especially after the shave with the alum block, I shaved with a merkur futur earlier and I put no pressure on the razor but it still stung a lot with the alum 🙄 I think this razor will work for me because I tend to put pressure on the razor without realising and all of the razors I own have good heft so this might be a good solution for me 👍 great video 😊

Gotta say I'd been kicking around the idea of getting this one for a few weeks. Finally broke down and got it earlier this week, after seeing your demonstration. First shave this morning...un-freaking-believable! I have very sensitive skin (I have to use a Shark Super Chrome blade for how mild it is). This was the cleanest shave I've ever had in four years of wet shaving. Not a single nick, or spot of irritation. (I'd been using an EJ DE87 or 3One6 to this point.) It's like using the weight of a cartridge/disposable, but with actually decent blades!

That shave sounded baby face smooth. I’m considering a DE safety razor for the first time, and I’m currently doing my research before purchasing one. I have coarse, natural, curly hair that makes me prone to ingrown hairs, and sensitive skin to boot. Hoping the DE safety razor is the answer for me. I’m also looking forward to future cost saving and minimizing plastic waste. After listening to a few KZbin channels on shaving, it sounds like you’re in for an enjoyable head shave with the Henson. I’m strongly leaning towards the Henson Razor, but would value your feed back on blade recommendations for sensitive skin and to minimize ingrown hairs. I would also love to enter your giveaway @ Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor. Thank you for your review on the Henson razor. Happy New Year❣️

I've had the Henson mild for 7 months and I have loved it! I've mostly used the RK blades and get very close and comfortable shaves. It's my first DE, so I didn't have to "unlearn" things like dealing with heavier razors. One thing I will say is that because the angle is completely dialed in, it does a great job of exposing differences in blades, soaps, etc. I'm trying several different right now, and have yet to find one better for me than the RK.

Oy..., three pass shave procedure??!! Wow, I'm strictly a one pass and done shaver, but that's because I can't grow a full beard or mustache if my life dependent on it, but I agree with you; The Henson AL-13 is great. I just got mine the other day and used it once, but it'll take a few more shaves to fully get the hang of this razor. I didn't think that this razor did that well on my neck, but perhaps that will change with more use. But all in all, I'm pleased and think that this razor is worth the money and a very close and smooth shave! So try one out Folks, you won't be sorry. Thanks for this review.😎
