Henson Shaving AL13 Tan Machined Aluminum DE Safety Razor, Mild Exposure

Perfect dual-edge razor as a beginner to single-blade razors converting from a multi-blade cartridge. The fact that it's already measured out the perfect angle takes most of the guesswork out of my routine which is daunting enough.

First and maybe last razor I ever need

I bought the Henson mild (in Tan, as it looks the best IMO) as my first DE razor after much deliberation and am not disappointed. I don't chase a BBS, so I can't give thoughts on how close this razor can get. The angle took some getting used to, but now I can do my passes faster and feel more confident with it. I only ever got cut once when I moved my hand sideways - so obviously through no fault of the razor itself. I've also dropped it more than once causing some dents and scuffs on the handle and the plates, but there was no performance reduction that I could tell. Seems like the extreme precision CNC is not as delicate as I thought. Of course, finding the right blade for you will make all the difference. For the money I've spent and the 8 months I have of using it, I am confident that this may be the only razor I ever need.
