I have a medium one and have to say the thing is smooth. It feels so smooth I swear it is empty. First time was with 2+ week growth, and while it took many strokes to cut, it was able to do so. No irritation from having to cut in the same area multiple times. I did it again today with maybe 5 days growth, much more manageable growth and had an easier time taking the stubble down but could have used more efficiency. I need to use this more, especially after a day and a half. Again, the razor was smooth as butter. I noticed around my lips it takes a bit extra effort to cut the hairs due to a different angle, but it is doable. I have to say I wonder how an aggressive would do, and might want to pursue one. I want more time with it, and even if this doesn’t prove to be my “the one” razor, I get the impression this could be like when I moved up from a R89 Grande to a Feather AS-D2. A clear improved difference I was pleased with for years, and still find enjoyable. The Henson seems to do very well ATG. Not as much irritation after, and during shave. Perhaps the clamping of the Henson is in play here. I’ve never really seen blade chatter in play with my razors, can’t say I have any razors I suspect it is an issue in, but something is different in a good way here.
