    I have one, I think it lives up to its claims and is worth the price. It is the only safety razor I’ve used that has comparable irritation and ease of use to a disposable razor. It’s particularly good for sensitive skin, and I’m significantly less likely to accidentally cut myself with it compared to my normal safety razor.

      I assume you’re using their handle and their blades? If so, have you used other blades before for comparison? I go back and forth between a disposable razor and a safety razor with feather blades, but I always go back to disposable cartridge after the novelty wears off.

        I just use cheap shark brand blades with it, as feathers in any safety razor seem to make it more prone to cut myself, they’re too sharp for my skin.

        The Henson with cheap blades feels extremely close to a disposable, and it can be used in the same way with minimal thought, unlike a normal safety razor where you have to be careful with angle and pressure to avoid irritation or cuts.
