A great final use of the Yaqi Slope, while I felt my first use of a slant razor unusual it was an enjoyable experience and never gave less than a DFS. Many thanks for the kind loan.

An interesting first shave with the Henson, I think I was expecting more having enjoyed the standard version, I’m hoping it grows on me! I found as with the mild version, it nigh on impossible to nick myself or go wrong with it, and in places found BBS with ease, however then in other places particularly my neck either side of the Adam’s apple it wasn’t aggressive enough and I/it seemed to miss them. Writing up later in the day from my shave certain areas do feel a little raw and again others fine. I’m hoping it’s just one of those I’m going to have to try and get used to!
