A recent discussion on the board, in reference to how long it takes one to shave, got me thinking. One of the biggest reasons why it takes me so long to shave, is because I am being so careful maintaining my angle and using no pressure, that it just takes forever. Take today for example, today was another day that I woke up late, and I literally had no time time shave, before having to go to work, which means I had to shave when I came back home.
I've already known about these Henson razors for awhile now, but another recent post, was from someone talking about their Henson razor. And thats when it dawned on me, the Henson razor uses a set angle, and maintaining that angle, is gonna be even easier then maintaining the angle, to sharpening a mower blade! My point you ask? I don't have to think about it with this razor, I can shave quickly with it. And its known to allow you to do so, without nicking you.
I picked the steel blue one, because blue is my favorite color, and I think it looks gorgeous. Yes I know, the handle isn't as amazing as a Crown handle on a Timeless razor, you can't really expect an amazing handle for only 70-dollars. Also, this is going to be my first aluminum razor, which means its going to be my lightest razor in my collection. Just so you know, I am a fan of heavy razors, I seem to do better with them, but they are more traditional styles, not using this unique set angle that this razor does.
But like I said, because this razor is so light, I should be able to maneuver this thing pretty darn fast, and with that set angle, that I don't have to worry about, I can see me being able to shave at least 2-times faster as I do with a traditional style DE razor. As usual, I will update the forum with pictures once it arrives. But, if you would like to, you could beat me to it, and post pictures of your Henson razors.
PS: Your not the only one getting an aluminum razor @LRod HEHE
