Weishi 9306c------ Bic Chrome Platinum (5)
2 passes. Not a fan of the Bics. Very sharp but a lot of irritation every shave. Sorry for the boring razor, 5 months into DE shaving and currently testing blades from a large tuck sample. Next up, Treet Platinum.
I know the Henson is kinda marmite and I honestly wasn’t expecting much. Just got it in the mail and wow already a good first impression. It’s the mild variety and I used a super nacet for my maiden voyage.
I couldn’t do my usual ATG-only shave because it would tug, so one along and one against and bob’s your uncle. Tried to be sloppy and didn’t catch a nick, only some mild irritation where I was especially careless. I was expecting to get rid of this at some point even before I received the razor but now I’m happy to keep it around. Nice surprise!
I actually liked this razor a bit better than the Empire style Wilkinson.
The Empire is very top heavy with a wonky balance point.
The Dunhill type is sleek and effective. Good balance.
Still like a razor blade on a stick, but not too scary.
Used a PAL Carbon to be more true to the original feel.
I don't hone so the original wedge blades can't be used.
