The Cyber is more like the Yates Winning than the Henson. I own all three. I have not shaved with the Cyber that much yet.

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.
Thank you the offer but I don’t believe I would be interested at this point in time. The way my schedule is at the moment I don’t think I would have time to use and ship promptly enough. Very kind of you.
Appreciate the gesture
situation is I'm located in Europe so shipping costs would not make it feasible.Probably for the best, if the Cyber razor would surpass Karve Bison or the Overlander would make my head spin lol

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.
