Henson Al13 Razor - From the Guys Who Brought You The ISS

The best, by far!!!

I dunno, I think I like the black & red best...solves the problem of "black looks good but is a royal pain to find inside a bag..."

Seriously, it's gotten to the point where I try quite hard to avoid buying anything that's going to be carried loose in a bag or pouch in black.

Though actually, if I got one of these I'd immediately be getting in touch with Frugal Shave for a tin...

I have the frugal shave altoids tin insert and unfortunately until a shorter handle comes out this razor won’t fit

Yeah, put me on the list as well.  Love what I've got, but always room for another

Day 2 with the Henson razor and I decided to amp the efficiency up with a 1/2 turn as some have recommended. Well the 1st stroke with it like that let me know it may be more efficient as it had a definite blade feel now and actually felt harsh. Gone was the smoothness that was manufactured into it. Perhaps others that did the turn out had the mild plate instead of the medium plate. It would help if people indicate which they are using when posting to remove confusion. I am one that doesn't mind a touch of blade feel and efficiency but want it with smoothness. I'd rather take the original designed smoothness and a little more clean up to get my desired outcome. I did my 1st and 2nd pass (wtg & xtg) with the 1/2 turn but for the atg final pass went back to a properly tightened razor and immediately found the smoothness again built into this thing. If they come out with a Titanium or Tungsten model as they are indicating, I'm in the market for sure. A more aggressive plate would be nice too but ONLY if it has the smoothness built into it as well. That's it for me. I'm not big on aluminum razors but this will be my sole aluminum razor in the den as a keeper. Have a great day DFS !!!

Can anyone tell me the difference of the woman’s version ?
