Wow, impressive! I've cut myself plenty over the years all with a variety of disposable/cartridge type razors. For many years, my preference was Schick Slim Twin cartridge razors. I occasionally cut myself on those, but got a great, super close BBS shave (BBS as they say on the shaving forum - baby butt smooth). At some point, they changed and I started cutting myself more often. I went through a few other models until I eventually stumbled across the Schick Quattro. I get a great shave with those, and I don't think I've ever cut myself. I think I'm paying $1.75 - 2.50 per cartridge, and that sucks.

I'm very happy with the Henson. I'm going to try a selection of different blades to see if I like one or two more than the others, but even the blades that it came with seemed good, and I definitely didn't cut myself. I think that's one of the strengths of the design of the Henson, and why I bothered trying it at all.
