Henson Razor For the Win!!

I got my Henson in the mail today. I've been intentionally letting my hair grow, so I was up around 5-6 days. With my old razor, the Schick Quattro, I wouldn't have been able to shave with the razor. I would have had to use the clippers to cut my hair shorter and then shave with the razor, which is a PITA.

I have 3 priorities for a razor
1) Don't cut me - Schick Quattro is 99.99% on that one.
2) Let me shave if life gets in the way and I don't shave for a bit - Quattro - fail
3) Give a nice close shave - Quattro is 99% on that one too.

I was really concerned that the Henson was going to fail #1, but it didn't. I shaved my face and head and no cuts, and I shave multi direction (with the grain, against the grain, and skew to the grain, that ensures #3).

Henson also laughed at my extended growth. The problem with the Quattro if my hair is longer is that the cartridge gets clogged with hair that just won't come out, even with a strong directed stream of water. The henson has a large capacity for hair and huge holes for ejecting it.

Henson for the win, so far 100% no cuts, shaves longer hair, close shave (with only 1 blade vs 4).

It does take a little bit of adjustment to switch because modern disposable razors have pivoting heads so the angle is always right. The Henson does require the angle to be right or it doesn't work, so your hand/wrist/hold has to control the angle. But it's not a huge deal and everything got shaved.

Out of curiosity, I even checked and can confirm, you can manscape with the Henson if that's something that you do.
