I've been DE shaving everyday for 50+ years now. After a few years with electric razors I switched back to DE after advice from a skin specialist when I started developing in-growing hairs - He said if you get them, don't use a cartridge razor. The multi-blade pulling and then the hair shaft going back into the dermis will give you more of them! I have a coarse beard (not particularly thick) and sensitive skin (aged-lined!). Generally, I have preferred milder razors as the first "decent" one I bought was a Gillette Sticky. Later on, my go-to razor was a Feather Mk1 SS. A couple of years ago I noticed, that even with Feather blades, I was getting starting to get scrapes, sore patches and even the odd cut.
I switched exclusively to Hensons. I bought a Mk1 Henson mild and got a close shave with no problems. Since then I have bought a Henson Mk2 Aluminium, and recently a Titanium Mk2 mild. The Ti was noticeably heavier and appeared to work slightly better. After experimenting with all three over several months, I have decided that for me the Al Mk2 is the best. Daily shave is one pass/occasionally two; Simpson's scentless soap (I bought enough remaindered stock to see me out), a Simpson Wee Scot, or a OEM Vulfix synthetic (Beard & Blade) Most of the time I use Feather blades the supplied RK are fine, but I change them more often...
I've cut myself once with a Henson - It was due to stupidity and a shaking hand. Every shave is close, and for me the more aggressive types would mean more scrapes and soreness, but without a significantly better shave. The Henson always lines the edge up correctly and doesn't pull. As an aside, the first time I used it I did a double pass (with the grain, and then across) - I Thought something was wrong as I didn't hear any noise on the second pass across the buccal/ear area - Picked up the Feather SS and got the same result in the same area, I don't ever remember that with any other razor.
I personal recommendation: Try the Mild Aluminium first. I like the Titanium; but, other than being heavier, didn't really notice much difference. The $70 Al is fine. If you like "nice things" the Ti is good, but worth the extra $180?
Finding the best razor for your face is what matters the most. I think the Henson is a decent razor and without a doubt a much better alternative to the expensive and awful cartridge razors, but I enjoy using other razors. Having newer designs and more options is never a bad things in this hoby even if I don't find some of the products useful for myself.
