(This is not a razor or blade review, I am not seeking recommendations for blades or other razor brands or models.)
I shave daily. I do a three pass shave with no cleanup. I get good shaves.
I have been using a Henson AL13 Medium since shortly after it was introduced. I switched to the V.2 update when it came out. I liked the original, I like the new one even better. I plan on getting the Ti22 next year some time. I am a sucker for titanium. As something I use EVERY DAY I feel it is worth the expense. The V.2 will go to my DOP kit and the original will go from my DOP kit to my son. I get consistently great shaves with the AL13 in Medium. My preferred blades are Wizamet. I still like trying other blades though.
I do not really like the Kai blades. The shave is not smooth, clean or comfortable. It is however a CLOSE shave. Especially on my neck.
I ascribe this to the slight increase in blade exposure. It is dare I say more efficient? Having used a couple Kai blades it has me thinking...
So I wonder... maybe I want a more aggressive razor? (I will be sticking with Henson and I will not keep using Kai)
Any thoughts? Am I on the right track?
I do get nice close, comfortable, easy shaves with the AL13 Medium.
