This was my first shave with this razor and it was surprisingly good - I came to expect the later Gillettes to be too mild and sensitive to the shaving angle, this razor was adequately efficient, stil mild, and didn't seem to be too angle-dependent.

About the only problem was that I managed to scratch myself with exposed blade tabs - twice. This practically never happened before. Must've not been paying attention, it's not like this is the only exposed tabs razor I used.

still on the henson and i realise that this stupidly forgiving razor is making me sloppy with my technique lol. finally got myself some Bics and am loving it. one thing i love about forums like these is that all the information is laid out here for free... just go for the tried and tested recommendations and save myself the trouble of f***ing around and finding out, even with ymmv considered
