Thank you for the good post. I have the same Henson but haven't used it yet. I read quite a bit about it before I got it , that's why I got the Medium too. The reviews and information all indicated it was on the mild side .
Brush: Omega 599 Super Badger 22/48
Soap: TFS Tabacum Crepito
Razor: Henson AL13-M head on Phoenix Aluminum Bomb Tip handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (3)
ASL: Clubman
Just a DFS.
There's nothing wrong with a DFS… except when you're used to BBS shaves. I just wondered how the Henson would be on two days growth. Well, three shaves in with the Henson, and it took a lot of buffing just to get to DFS. I usually put these sort of challenges down to operator shortfalls, but I'm thinking the razor design probably isn't so good for more than one day old whiskers (when said whiskers are coarse, dense, and fast growing).
I want to prove myself wrong though. I now intend sticking to daily shaves to get more familiar with the razor first... if that goes well, then I'll branch out to two (and hopefully more) days growth shaves.
It's an experiment after all, so I'm OK with strange (to me) results for a while.
Happy shaves guys.

Comments | Coming to the end of this soap. The AP Shaving Syn struggled loading sufficient soap on the bits and pieces of the soap so I ended up scraping some off and put it in the CC bowl. Unlike the Shavemac 177 I used yesterday, this did not have sufficient backbone for the job. After changing techniques, I was able to make sufficient lather. A decent shave, nevertheless. |
