From what I have heard about the razor so far, I can surmise it will be to mild for my face shaves, but it might be quite good for my head shaves.
Regardless, I'll offer my views on it for both after a few shaves with it.

got the pass around razor from HensonShaving today. thanks so much for allowing us to pass around the razor!
first impressions: nice packaging for the price - a large cardboard box with a cutout to hold the razor, a little instructions sheet and I believe a section for blades that you can add on to your purchase.
now, the razor itself. as it's aluminum, I expected it to be light and it is. My scale shows it as weighing 1.4oz. I like lighter razors myself so the weight on this in my hand feels great.
Henson sent over their razor in the tan anodized color, I believe is what they'd call it. The anodizing on the razor isn't perfect, though very good. I can see some slight flaws in the anodizing where the top cap bends down on both sides. for a $40, this is a nonissue for me, but I did mention to the team at Henson that we'd be providing all types of feedback to them, whether good or bad.
when taking the razor apart, the top cap and base plate have the tightest fitting tolerances of any DE razor I felt in my hands...there's literally no 'wobble' when you try to check for any play or movement in the top cap.
I'm not sure of the exact purpose, but it looks like there's a ring that was pressed into the bottom of the base plate where the handle screws on to. I'd guess this is to prevent marring of the aluminum, though I think it's best if the HensonShaving team spoke on this. photo from their site:

The handle is a nice length and has a decent amount of texture to hold on to.
I'm going to be shaving with it here shortly on 7-10 days worth of growth. I'll report back with a few photos of the presentation and thoughts in a day or two.
