I've been playing the same game with my (relatively) new Henson mild, and just tried a Personna Red. Expectations were low as the PR is supposed to be a relatively mild blade and mild+mild is supposedly not an optimum combo. I'm also a "blade heretic" as I consider most blades pretty similar.
I was amazed at the performance and result! Up to this point I have tried Gillette Blue, Lab Blue, Vokshod, and Astra. They all worked well, and all seemed close to the same -- but the PR was clearly better.
Thus the value of experimentation. Who knows what I might find in the other dozen or so blades that I have available to try out ...... and at this rate, how long this may take!
