I've had all 3 Henson's razors and I didn't like any of them. I found the + and ++ to be too mild for me. The +++ for some reason I could not get a smooth shave with it. The Cyber razor to me is a superior design. It has become my go-to razor and believe me I have tried just about every razor out there.

Like I need another razor
But I luv that cyber handle. I’m glad it’s sold out.

I agree, though for me, the Cyber is a bit smoother than the Winning v2, which I found to be a little smoother than v1.
Yeah, the Cyber is very smooth yet gives a very close shave. It kind of reminds me of the OneBlade razor that cost $300. only the Cyber is only $40.00.
I was just looking very closely at the Cyber's head and I noticed that the top cap and base plate slope inward toward the gap like this very terrible sketch:
It is exaggerated here to show the point, but the shave plane (orange line) is not the same as the slope of the two plates. I thought this might be the case and I had to look very carefully to see that it seems to be. If you hold a straight edge up to the face of the razor, you can see this. The blade gap is in a tiny valley.
Putting in a blade, it seems that the edge of the blade sticks out to at least neutral or a little bit positive of the shave plane. If it was just in line with the bottom edge of the top cap, it would be negative. Using a cardstock test, a Nacet seems to be just a tiny bit positive, as it can bite into the paper.
With this in mind, the design is a bit different than other heads which may look similar at first glance. Would you fellow Cyber owners take a very close look and double check what I see, please?

Yep, I noticed this in mine as well, mild and medium.
I suspect it's either a happy accident or a measure to reduce drag some people perceive, all the while still performing the function of an angle guide.
I'm glad you pointed this out, but I must be brain dead because I don't see it. Still an interesting fact.
It is really subtle. I used a magnifying glass to help me see it. It is surely a design choice. Like @Slapo, my guess is that it is to reduce the contact surface area to reduce drag.

Cool and slimy
Maybe we should compare side photos of both mild and medium head if there is a difference, or if just the base is different.
Another great shave today with the Cyber razor. This still amazes me how smooth and close it shaves.
A smooth shave again today. For price of this razor, it is a super-deal.
Shave of the day. Smooth and great, that's the shave I got today with the Cyber. This razor was well designed.
I find the Cyber razor works great with a Personna blade. Sharp & Smooth. Just the way I like it.
Is the handle aluminum or steel?
It’s aluminum coated in black Cerakote.
I had another great shave today. This razor not only shaves nice, but it looks cool also.
Not sure if it’s like that, but that drawing is how the Henson AL13+ v2 feels to me when I use the design angle instead of favoring the bar or cap.
I enjoy the Cyber medium and look forward to trying it with this nubby little Maggards handle. I like using this handle with the Lupo heads because they are super light and nimble (both AL and SS). The Cyber gets under and around my nose as easily and efficiently as the Lupo because the head tapers very close to the blade.

I like the feel of the cerakote handle. To me the razor is perfectly balanced.
Have you had a chance to try this yet?
