There are now 2 versions of the Henson mild and medium. I have a new version on order (Medium Tan), and will post my impressions of it after a few shaves. My recommendation would be to purchase the newer version, V2, directly from Henson. The Tan color is available in the newest version (Mild and Medium), directly from Henson.
Vendors such as Shave Nation and Maggards still have a few discontinued colors such as Coral, Purple, Red and Military Green available, in the original version, V1.
If you like an easy drama free shave, the Mild may be best for you. As previously stated by others, you can use a sharper razor blade to kick it up a notch. I believe, once you have shaved with a Henson a few times...you will be astonished and it will get more use than your other razors. Looking forward to hearing about what you finally purchase, and what your impression is of the Henson.
