I am sure Henson is a perfectly fine razor, but I think it is overhyped and made out to be revolutionary when it is just a safety razor that leans into a design that gives you a very narrow usable angle, and makes it easy to hold it at that angle, at the expensive of giving you the ability to use the angle to control the closeness of your shave.
It requires less skill to use, but other safety razors don’t require a whole lot of skill either, especially “mild” ones. However if you are willing to develop just a little skill I think you can get a slightly better shave with another razor.
