Battle of the Henson razors
Blue Henson : medium aggressive
Black Henson: high aggressive.
For beginners definitely recommend the medium aggressive Henson, pretty much won't hardly nick you unless nlade needs changed. Either cuts or it doesn't if you don't maintain angle.

for me either my Constantine razor wire beard the aggressive wins if haven’t shaved for a couple days

Both razors have RK Blades

Thanks for your post. I have the medium and I find it on the mild side.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Budget-friendly shave today and it was stellar! Went with RazoRock's "Lime" triple-milled shave soap. Great scent strength off the puck and when lathered. The lather quality was excellent as well, built with the Semogue SOC Premium Boar brush. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 and I finished with some RazoRock "Essential Oil of Lime" after shave splash and Clubman "Citrus Musk" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Really nice soap and matching splash. Beautiful lather...
A superb combination of this razor and blade. 3 smooth & crisp passes for a bbs-dfs finish. Somehow my local JAWS is friendlier compared to foreign Sharks...

Love this soap & splash combo for the aromatic scent and the nice brush whip up a creamy and slick lather!
Missed using a straight for 11 days and today's shave with this excellent razor felt so good! The razor's edge is still original from the seller and it was perfectly smooth, comfortable, and efficient. Stropped on the Kanayama, and enjoyed 3 passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. New soap day with the Grooming Dept. "Chypre D'Ananas". Great scent with a huge pineapple blast right off the top. Grapefruit slides in just under that with cedar and oakmoss playing more supporting roles. Excellent lather built with the Shavemac 120 ST brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the 60's "Psycho Tech" and I finished with Myrsol "Agua De Limon" after shave splash and Paco Rabanne "1 Million" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
