The Henson is really a fine, fine razor. I have 4 and I gave my wife 1 for her own use. She loves it. Now, I'm trying to get her settled on a soap or cream. The Henson is so easy to use she will simply use a bar of bath soap.

I’m still so pleased with my Henson, I’m not looking at anything else. I would love to stumble on a Ti V2 ++, but I’m more interested in buying guitars and ukuleles at the moment 😎

I bought my Mrs the mild newest version and she also loves it. Interestingly, there seems to be virtually no artisanal soaps for women.

Ariana & Evans, Stirling, and others have soaps for women. Barrister and Mann has Lavender and other scents. Martin de Candre and Geo. F. Trumper have rose scents. There's a lot of soaps for women out there.

I'm definitely enjoying my mild Henson, but am interested in eventually picking up a medium just for something with some more efficiency. I went with the mild initially due to having sensitive skin. Paired the mild with a Feather blade for my most recent shave and it was very pleasant.

Picked up The Club Summer in Paris (A&E kaizen Base I believe) soap and Dirty Ginger (A&E K2 base) soap and have been working on my technique. Haven't been super impressed by Dirty Ginger (which may be my technique or our water), but have enjoyed the one shave I've had with Summer in Paris.
