Hi Sig. Lovely shave mate! I have a Karve Overlander in brass. Shaves like a dream. My favourite " Aloominum" razor is the Timeless, With the right blade for my beard and skin it's also terrific. Lathering depends to some extent on the quality of the water you use. In London the water is hard which doesn't help. IMO It also affects the shave you get and even the blades you can use. For instance i can use blades in Antwept and Nice that i can't use in London Go figure! All the best.
Thanks, Buddy! The Timeless Alu razor (.45 +.86 slant) are also in my top 5 of Alu razors... I'll be bringing them both on my trip up North... Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week!! 🤙 #WAD
So glad you got to use that razor Brother!! The handle is surprisingly great! I was skeptical about the length at first, but I found it to work really well for me. And you’re right, the knurling on it is deadly!! Awesome shave and thanks for the shout out! You had that brush just loaded with the RF haha!! Have a great week and see you on the next one.💈🤘🏻 #WAD
Thanks, Brother! I agree! A phenomenal handle on it! My pleasure, Brother! The soap (and razor) worked great! That RF TOBS is a must-have🙌 Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
Thanks, Bud! I like it, too. It could be a candidate as a daily driver if I was to shave daily, for sure. Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
You are dedicated for sure! I have none of those razors myself but it was interesting in particular to see you rank and compare them. I was not sure which version of the Henson you have but I may have missed that. Glad to see the Bison fare well; I like to support Canadian and American companies, but not the ones making things in China. The Bison is made in Canada, the Aylsworth Apex is made in China, for example. Thanks for the video! Great work!
Thanks, Buddy! I understand your reasoning. However a lot of Artisan's razors are made in China: PAA, ATT (Windsor Pro), Rockwell zink alloy razors (R1, 2C, 6c and T/T2), A&E, Aylsworth Apex (as you mention) Alpha Shaving and many more. Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
@@SIGSOLO Absolutely. China is the so-called 'Workshop of the World'. I regret Nixon going there in the 1970s and starting the investment from the west; we have created a monster, economically developed yet politically a nightmare. I can't control that, but I can buy things made here, just like I can't control climate change but I can recycle my tin cans etc. in my own small part of the world.
Hi Sig, I have all of those aluminium razors apart from the Above the Tie SB90, which I have in stainless steel. For me the best aluminium razor is the Bison. For my face it has turned out to be a fantastic daily driver. I liked it so much that I bought two, one green and the other in silver. Happy shaves!
Thanks, Buddy! It's a very fine razor. And for a daily driver it might my considered. I don't shave every day and find the CB plate C to be more to my preference. Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
@@xod7xo614 In my opinion the Bison gives a smoother shave than the Apex. The Bison also seems to be manufactured from a higher quality aluminium and the finishing is also better.
That version of the Bison has awesome colouring, as you probably know I'm a big fan of ALU razors and I rate the Bison highly, my favourite is still the Overlander but it's a close call between it and Alysworth APEX, Bison and Henson "++" in that order,, all great shavers for me, did not get on well with the Shield ALU which I found too aggressive/blade feelly, don't have the other ALU razors in your list but have been eyeing off the Timeless for some time. Take care brother and WAD🤟🤠🤟
Thanks, Mate! They are great razors, indeed! I never tried the Alu version of the Shield DE, but the Ti works phenomenal for me! The Timeless alu has a little blade feel and is a top notch shaver for me. Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
Awesome Sig! The Bison is a real beauty and looks like a good shaver too! Surprisingly I only have one aluminum razor and that's the Henson aggressive. It's a great shaver, but it is the older style, so it's missing some of the improvements of the head design, but the handle is the same and could use some deeper machining in the grooves. I should pick up a Timeless and have been thinking of getting their slant. I do like my Karve CB and maybe should get a D plate for it. I've got the E and I think it's a little on the rough side. I think there is a sweet spot in most designs and when you go past that, you start to have diminishing returns. I'm going to drop that package in the mail soon and I also put in something extra for you. Have a great one Brother!
Thanks, Buddy! The old Henson design is still great!! The slant is a great Timeless razor! I'm using it in my birthday shave this year!! I haven't tried passed the D plate. I think E would be a bit much for me; but I might be wrong. I'm really looking forward to getting the parcel, Brother!! You're the man! Thanks for watching!! Have an unsurpassed week!! 🤙 #WAD
Hi Brother great shave ❤ Beautiful Karven beautiful coloured! And great Top 7 Aluminium Razor's! How many have you??? I must look have I 7, but I think not 😂 Have a great day and coming weekend 👍 🤜💥🤛
Thanks, Brother! Great razors all around, indeed! It's say I have 60-70 alu razors, give and take. Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
I have none of them, although I do have a Henson , but not that model. But I like that blue-gray Bison's color, the best followed by that red-black combo.
Thanks, Buddy! Henson makes fine razors, imho. I have order the red7black Apex in their recent sale... I love the red/black. Only yellow and black is higher on my list in terms of colouring! Thanks for watching! Have an unsurpassed week! 🤙 #WAD
Great review and comparisons. What Henson model was that? The mild, med or aggressive? I’ve only tried the Henson in the Aluminum. I will eventually try the Bison and/or Apex Aluminum.

How do you compare the bison to apex al?

Tried the bison, great shave but too light for me. Can’t wait for a stainless steel version to get released in the fall.
It's a phenomenal razor, indeed!

@@SIGSOLO It's that reported blade feel on the ALU Timeless that's holds me back from hitting the button ... but I may just do it anyway. WAD brother😎
@@unclelshaves My guess is that the slant is more to your liking... It has a .86mm gap but a negative .05mm exp... Super smooth!!

The slant is a great Timeless razor!
I'm using it in my birthday shave this year!!
I haven't tried passed the D plate. I think E would be a bit much for me; but I might be wrong.
