It takes a bit more care, but you save a fortune in replacement blades.

I’ve used a similar razor for years. I shave fast and haven’t cut myself in years. There’s a very small learning curve. Well worth the switch

Practice makes perfect with this type of blade. I went from a Mach 3, to an antique straight razor and to this type of shaver.

The straight razor comes out once in a while if I’m feeling especially manly and rugged, but the single blade razor is great for a daily driver.

I shave fast in planet fitness showers with a 4”x4” travel mirror, and I haven’t knicked myself. I’ve even gotten bold lately and I kindof go cross grain under a fairly prominent jawline and it still has gone smoothly. It has made it so easy it’s basically fun now. It’s about sticking with the angle they have set the face of the tool to. There is a flat side that the blade comes out of, plant that flat side flush and it shaves probably as perfect as realistically possible. If you’re familiar with wood planers and their broad flat undersides, it works the same exact way. Their product videos explain it too.

Need a quality razor and takes some practice to get the technique down.

It will take a bit longer than a cartridge blade shave but the comfort and quality of shave is sooo worth it.

I have the same Henson that OP has and it’s magnificent. A joy to shave with.

It’s expensive up front for a quality razor and you’ll need to buy replacement double edge blades but they’re probably about 10% the price or cartridge blades so in the long run it saves money. - decent blades where I am in the UK are about £3 for 5 blades

My biggest saving is with shaving gel/foam - you can get an ok brush for pretty cheap and a tub of basic soap like Arko or Cella is really cheap (im in UK it’s like £6-£7 so like $10) and lasts about 50 shaves easily.

Takes some getting used to, and careful is the game when you start. I much prefer it, and it works out cheaper.
