This was my first shave with the Henson aggressive razor. I loaded it with a fresh Wizamet blade. The razor did a wonderful job of getting all the whiskers and giving me a BBS shave. The brush, a Shavemac 177, does a superb job of making lather and it feels great on the face. A perfect shave. Have a good one and weekend, gents.
 
I haven’t been keeping up to date on posting shaves, too much going on. But here’s a general update:

My father in-law passed away at 94 years old. He was quite a good guy and I learned a lot from him. He fought in WWII served in Battle of the Bulge, Rhineland and Central Europe, earning a Purple Heart.

The two good looking ladies above are my mother in-law and wife. The razor a Gillette L-1 was the razor he was using just before he passed away. I cleaned it up a bit and took it for a spin, I used a Tatra Platinum Premium blade and some Chicago Razorook shaving soap. The result was DFS no cuts or nicks.

I didn’t even know there was a London Bridge razor blade, evidently that was his favorite razor blade. I may have to order some, keeping his as momentous.

Lastly I finally managed to cut myself with my Henson razor, I didn’t think it was possible but I was wrong. I was wrong once before, hopefully that’s the last time, but I have a sneaky suspicion it won’t be.
