I have the aluminium medium and I have swapped out the handle for a stainless bulldog and the shave is fantastic but the head does drag a bit which really frustrates me. Does the Ti head 'glide" any smoother than the Al?The Henson AL13 medium is a GREAT razor. The Ti medium is also a great razor. Seriously. They're in my top 6.
I had the oportunity to try a Ti on loan and found it to be draggy as well. I never used the AL version but I don't think the drag is down to the material. I firmly believe it's the design of the head and that chiseled look. Had the exact same experience with the Mongoose which shares the angled profile. And that was in Polished SS so definitely not something draggy.I have the aluminium medium and I have swapped out the handle for a stainless bulldog and the shave is fantastic but the head does drag a bit which really frustrates me.

Absolutely agree with you C. Indeed the exact same thing I felt when using it. No matter how much residual slickness the soap had (I may even go ahead and say the effect was exacerbated by this) there was a certain ventouse effect when the lather was completely removed and clean skin left behind. Don't get me wrong, a truly great shaver and got some of the easiest BBS shaves but that 'suction' made it undesireable for me.The term drag is probably misleading - it's the suction from the angled sides of the head. I experienced the same thing with the WSC Winning and another razor who's name eludes me.
I accept I'm in a minority in disliking the Henson. I also dislike the Blackland Vector which is another hugely popular razor. Take my opinions with a pinch of salt but they're my opinions and I think the Henson is a soulless skin sucking monstrosity
