I don't know what it's called in English, but it's amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌

Edit: you obviously don't have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣

I used to buy Harry’s kits from Costco but I felt like I was wasting so much money and plastic. I just wanted new blade cartridges, but the stupid box always came with a new handle. Looking now, it seems like Costco only offers an updated “chrome” set which is even more expensive 🙄

Eventually I found Henson and I really love mine. This is the exact color I got:

I’ve had it for maybe 4-5 years now and besides some scratches from an accidental drop it’s still in great condition. I love that I went from buying ~$25 cartridge boxes every couple months to buying 100 blades for $10 every few years. I only just recently bought my first blade refill box and I expect it to last until probably 2029.

Literally the only time I have given a YouTube video sponsored ad a good was when Henson ran a promotion with We're In Hell. Still haven't needed a refill on the original 100 blades and I think that was 3 years ago at least. No regrets.

Henson safety razors are amazing.
