Henson Shaving Henson Razor mild vs medium vs aggressive. +, ++, +++

[bogbel]

I bought the mild version of the Henson and I'm not sorry. Henson says the mild accounts for about 90% of their sales. Get really close shaves with it and don't need anything more aggressive. I shave every other day and think I have a fairly coarse beard but this razor does the job. Best razor I've every owned. Gave away my highly touted Rockwell, and retired my Twig razor. The handle on the Henson really surprised me with how grippy it is.
I shaved under my nose and the beveled corners of the Henson made it very easy. That's always a problem area for me. At $70 I think it's a steal.

I started with a Mild AL-13 I liked it so much I bought the Ti-22 Titanium also in Mild. I will say the Ti-22 shaves a bit more aggressive than the Aluminum AL-13 It feels familiar but also better in a few ways. It's heavier which I like. It also has much deeper knurling. It's much nicer when your hands are slippery.

Thank you Sir, at least a video review which compares both razors in a concise way.

That red is beautiful. They don't have that on their site. I bought the awesome aggressive grey (also not on their site) as I've been a wet shaving aficionado for like...7 years? Kinda wanna try their medium... But ya, the aggressive isn't as aggressive as other de

Henson makes the world’s best razors IMO. You get the cost savings of DE blades with a design that eliminates blade chatter & irritation, and a shave so effortless and nick free you’ve got to try it to see for yourself. Unless you have thin whiskers the medium is usually a safe bet. I have both medium & aggressive & usually use the aggressive one when I have 2-3 days growth or more, although it’s smooth enough you could probably shave with it every day, although I go with the medium when I have to shave every day.

Which Rockwell 6c/6s plates best correspond to the +, ++, and +++ Hensons? The blade gap measurements would indicate aggressiveness close to or even higher than the 5 or 6 plates. But due to mitigating factors like the blade angle and exposure, this is likely not true.

never tried a H, very different to what the rest does but still interesting. I’ve never understood the “aggressive” description for razors. What do you we then call a straight razor? IMO blade/skin angle, technique and the type of blade determines if its “aggressive, at least for me. I’m a daily straight shaver and find them not to be aggressive. Thank you for sharing, regards dapper shaves

So if I am in a hurry to get to work and want to shave super fast, I assume mild. Rather go recklessly fast twice than skillfully slow once.

[scbtripwire]

This confuses me... Henson only sells a mild, medium, and titanium, is the titanium one the aggressive one, or did they stop selling the aggressive one?

good show.
remember to align little line on the merker cap.

Thanks for the reviews. I’m bald and shave my head every day, sometimes every other day. I don’t have thick coarse hair. Which razor do you recommend? Thanks!

How does the mild and medium compare to a 5-bladed cartridge razor? I have course hair but sensitive skin and had ingrowns in the past so I'm not sure what to get now. I don't want to feel like I wasted my money if I get the wrong aggressiveness of razor

My father has tried all kinds of shaving tools and is now frustrated because nothing can cut his coarse beard. Would you recommend the aggressive or the medium for a smooth shave?

[andrewschroder]

Hello! I have a Henson razor and having a hard time getting my chin shaved. I have to pass over it 4-6 times with all kind of pulling and such. From what I’ve read and seen online that doesn’t sound like that should be happening. Do you have any suggestions?

[InspirationalLiving]

Thank you for your video .... which version do you prefer version 1 that is more square or the newer version that has the rounded edges?

[mark]

So if I shave everyday I should definitely go mild, or would a medium be ok?

I don’t have a super thick beard or anything.

[garynichols]

I don’t shave every day but av got sensitive skin so which one do you recommend

[jhoggatt]

Remember folks the +++ is sold at shave nation

[bobjones]

Why not just get the adjustable Rockwell 6C? It has six levels of aggression from mild to very aggressive.
It’s six razors in one.

The difference in old to new is rounded corners lather Chanel is now one on each side and the etchings on the handle are a little more pronounced in the new everything else stayed the same
