@Doc Dan: Any news one the +++?

I am using my aggressives more lately.
Rocca, +++
Still enjoying every shave.

After the hype around Henson seems things slowed down. Also on the B&B Henson thread.

S90V
The carbon is excellent.
And it's Sal's favorite steel.

Illegal in many places.
Limited buyers might drive the price.

From the ergos this screams liner lock.
My thumb always searches for it but it's not there.
The compression lock with the 2 detent gives a poor action and needs a lot of wrist.

Mine gets no usage.

I'm thinking of selling my Henson +++ Aggressive. The ++ does all I need it to do in two passes with no irritation.

I would not do.
It was quite a limited run.
From the aggressives out there it's the mildest.
You can still fine tune with different blades.

Nice story, Sal!

When I read Shaman I immediately had the knife visible in my mind. :)

One side should be black (BLADE and handle) the other gray/brown zome with uncoated blade.
That would be quite unique...

I like the medium the most.
You have more options. If you unscrew slightly it's more like the aggressive.
The mild is very mild and more for the body than face.

Aggressive is more effective.
Often 1 pass and done.

Yes, it's not a conventional lather. It's more like a thin layer of soap. Helps the gliding.

Used the Henson aggressive as first pass and medium for the second.
Used shaving cream directly in the face, no brush involved, worked not bad...

Any other users or tips for shaving brushless???

@JD Spydo I noticed that in many cases the handle material for straight razors or brushes drive the costs. Same user piece on the other side, means no improvement to the shave overall. I would prefer as handle the same material as the Roadie handle for example. Something good and cheap, the blade sh...

Used my Grande R89 yesterday.
Felt old school but was a nice shave.
More sound than the Henson of course.

Used a more liquid lather.

I also like my Muehle brush.
Yes it’s on the soft side.
My favorite is a Boker brush.

Let is sit in water for 30 min. will improve the quality of the shave much.

Beautiful.
Hope Spyderco will release one one day.

Isn’t the horn too slippery?
Is it as sharp as the others?

Very nice.
How do you like the silvertip?

I tried some Boker but they were not sharp. Even after resharpening. I did not find a good shop here. Often the razors are very expensive but because they use exotic handle materials. The blade itself is mostly crap. Stainless and not sharp out of the box. I checked 3 shops. In one work only men wit...

The action should be better than the lil native. The blafe is too light there.

I only have the yojimbo trainer and here the spydiehole is not good to access - too small and the scales are in the way.

I have high hopes in the micro.

Used my Shavette yesterday.
Was not bad but I prefer a DE razor, it's easier overall.

The second pass I did with the AL13+++ and cut myself. I really felt the blade digging into the skin.

Goal for the next shaves:
More concentration and not shaving in a hurry, especially not with the +++

That are good news!

Looks very nice.

You use the same angle as with the DE razor? Short moves?
How is it under the nose? For me this hurts the most it the blade is not sharp, neck is also sensitive.

Have you ever tried the R41?

Nice.
So, no more Hensons for you?
