re: Supply Co. Razor or Safety Razor recs

Many DE blades are made abroad. I use Gillette 7 O'clock green which are made in Russia of all places. Sorry Ukraine.

The problem with single edge is that you have far less variety than DE. I have very sensitive skin and I tried a lot of different blades before I found the one that works for me.

To the guy on here with the Henson razor, is that not too mild? With such a small blade reveal I would be concerned it would take 5 passes to get close.

Rockwell T2. Fully adjustable safety razor.

Been using a Merkur for a few years, with no complaints. For some reason your post made me wanna try a Henson, so I ordered one. Holy shite...doesn't even feel like there's a blade in it because it's so smooth. Used my regular shave cream first time, then just my bar of Irish spring tonight...I'm tempted to try shaving with just warm water next.

Thanks for the recommendation

Unreal. I have been shaving with safety razors for years. Way better for my sensitive skin that gets in-grown hairs if I look at it wrong. Just bought the Henson Razor after reading your post. It’s almost too easy. I saw a car review for an Audi one time, and the driver was complaining that it was too smooth, and it almost took the thrill out of driving. That’s how my first shave with this razor felt. It was just so easy.

I was a little nervous I would regret not going with the medium, but the mild is great. What the hell am I supposed to do with my razor collection?

If you need extra lubrication, use grapeseed oil, don't waste money on shaving oil.

Proraso pre shave cream for the win. Makes a huge difference.

Thx. I’ve got a 10-yr supply of the oem Henson blades.
