I’m a 52 year old newbie at shaving with a safety razor. I just bought a Rockwell 6C because of your videos. Thanks for making these great videos. I’m still learning, so keep ‘em coming!!
Thank you very much for your great video! The Ti22 is definitely one of the last razors I will ever buy, since the AL-13 is becoming more and more my most favourite razor of all the razors I have. Best regards!
I have a Henson AL-13 Mildand a Medium. Over time I have concluded that Mild works best for me, but as much as I drop the damned thing, the dings it's developing tell me that I need a much harder metal. So I'm getting a Ti-22 in Mild for a "the rest of my life, and then (hopefully) multiple generations down the line" razor. Thanks for helping me make that choice.
After watching I believe all your Henson Razor vids I decided to pull the trigger on the Henson Ti22+++. I also was able to pick up the 100ct of RK blades via your code 😊 It'll be my first safety razor and I wanted one with some upward mobility and use different blades to adjust. So hopefully I'm gonna be one and done, unless the Henson is the gateway to me becoming an enthusiast. Will be watching through all the beginner shaving tutorials now. Thanks for your advice! ❤
@ohioshaves, as usual, another great detailed educational breakdown of wet shaving products and techniques. I'm experimenting with 1 pass ATG shaves and am loving it. Less passes, less irritation, longer blade life in theory for less passes.
@@OhioShaves I go through my cycle of razor/blade combos. Some give me a really good BBS, at worst socially acceptable, but still a smooth shave. It's forcing me to focus on each razor/blade has its own touch to the shave.
Nice shave video, David, thanks for sharing. The Henson razor in titanium really looks so nice, and I have always wondered what the performance would be like.
@ohioshaves giveaway ANOTHER generous giveaway! I switch back and forth from the 6C and AL13…based on your recommendations. Would love to try the Ti22 in comparison. Nonetheless, keep on producing quality shave videos! Excellent and honest reviews
Well, I told you when you made your first Henson Ti22 video that I will get one when I can afford it, then it was out of stock. Well, Henson just got more Ti22’s in stock & I FINALLY placed my order for the Ti22 medium on Friday & hopefully it will be delivered this week.🤞🏻Can’t wait to try it out! 🪒👍🏻👍🏻
@ohioshaves giveaway Thank you so much for giving us all this opportunity. I already have the Henson AL13, so I wasn't sure if I should try the Rockwell because it's adjustable. You've solidified my choice in wanting to try the Ti22. I'm so impressed how it was able to go up against the highest setting of the Rockwell, but it's still safer!
@OhioShaves giveaway I started to shave more frequently after watching your channel. I barely have facial hair, but I find it therapeutic to shave now. Thanks
Good video. I use both the Rockwell and the Henson Titanium ++ and also a Feather AS - D2 sometimes. All give me good shaves and you are right when you say the angle is important. It is the difference between a good shave and no shave, especially with the Feather and the Henson. We're all different and so are the times we are going to have a shave, so I don't think we'll find a universal device. Until then, the search continues. I haven't found a razor that I've regretted buying except my Merkur Vision. There should be a warning saying that you should cease taking any anti-coagulation medication for a week prior to using it.
I have the alum HENSON and its in the more aggressive, But for some reason i have a time with it sticking when i shave with it. Like it is almost sticking to the skin and not sliding. I also have the PARKER variant in the bead blasted color and it seems to do the same thing as the HENSON. The only razor I have that does not seem to do that sticking is the VIKING razor I have. I just ordered the T2 in a chrome because a i think it is the finish on the razors.. I guess I will find out soon. The HENSON is my body shower razor currently
I bought a Rockwell T2. It was really cool, and worked well for a couple of shaves, but it never felt like it was a lifetime razor… and after a couple of months, it stopped closing correctly (I never dropped or handled it carelessly) where the hatch added a lot of resistance, and the aggressiveness differed A LOT between the two sides. I got it replaced with a Rockwell 6S about a year ago, and I absolutely love it. Unlike the T2, I feel confident that my 6S will survive me.
@OhioShaves I guess so, I simply told the retailer about my issues and they took it back. They had a new T2 ready to go out, but I asked them to send me a 6S instead. I do love that they are customizable, though. If I haven’t shaved in a few days, I’ll go for the 4 or 5, but then I swap to the 2 for the sideways shave. I find it a lot more comfortable than using the 4 for multiple passes.
I shave with the Pearl Flexi (similar to the Rockwell T2) but since I'm new to wet shaving, I'm wondering if a Leaf or Henson would be better options so I don't get so many nicks while I'm figuring out technique. Great video comparing these razors. Thanks!

Awesome job per the usual! Question I’ve been wanting to try the personna blades, but nowhere near the beard growth like you. Is this an aggressive blade, or kind of used for any hair type?
It would come down to personal preference as both did well. I guess it would all come down to what all you shave as the T2 would be great for face shavers but the Henson would be great for head shavers. I'm with you as I always have the Thorn on standby as it's such an easy razor to use and shaves very well.
Like you, I too love my 6S. I don't own a Henson but, like all who go down this rabbit hole, would love one. However, before I take the plunge, which plate on the 6S do you think best replicates the Henson experience? (Weight differences not withstanding). Thanks
@@OhioShaves Thank you! My favorite setting on the 6S is 4. Now, while I can switch to plate 3 for the Henson experience, it's much more fun to buy the Henson ........ Don't tell my wife........
@ohioshaves giveaway Hi ! I am a young man from Asia. I learned how to pick and properly use a safety razor by watching your video. I have discovered that wet shaving is truly an art form and it has become a hobby of mine. I have just purchased a Merkur 34C and have started to wet shave regularly. After each shave, I feel very good. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I like Rockwell t2 ss because you can change the setting depending on your skin type, it is more convenient.
@ohioshaves giveaway I'm about to make the switch from cartridge razors(Harrys) to a safety razor. Have been leaning towards the Henson Shaving AL13 and was looking at Astra blades, but saw you use Feather in the previous Henson review AL13 vs AL13M. Do you recommend Feather as a starting blade?
I would buy a variety pack of blades. Everyone’s face and skin tight is just a little different and they react differently to all the different blades. You can’t mess with a variety pack. Then you can go all in on the blades that you like.
Got the T2 gun metal today w the rockwell shave cream and stand in your coupon code. Like the easy adjust, loonger handle and TTO feature. Let see how it shaves. Leaf Twig my first wet shaver. Just ok. I wouldnt buy it again or recommend it.
Thanks for your support. Nice upgrade. Is the twig the razor you made switch with? 🤔I think it’s a great beginner razor for people making the switch from a disposable razor. Non-threatening don’t have to worry about your angle. You just can’t press hard on your face and you get a better shave than a cartridge razor. It can’t just be me that feels this way?
@@OhioShaves sounds great, thanks 🙏. I just wonna make a right choice right now. I'm newbie with wet shaving and my first razor is Gillette king C. I really like wet shaving, but i think that King C is too mild, i have a sensitive skin and have to make many passes to get BBS, which provides with razor burn, niks etc. So i think about more aggressive razor or just buy an adjustable. So now in my list is 6S, T2, R41... There is so many of them ffs😔.
@ohioshaves giveaway Originally voted T2 for adjustability. I have a 2C and mild Al13 , both are great. Prefer the weight of the 2C over Al13, but prefer the “auto pilot” ease of use with the Al13, so much so I’ve convinced the gf to give it a shot for her legs. Seeing this video I’m kinda leaning towards Henson.
@ohioshaves giveaway The Henson does look good not gonna lie. Nice shave. I have the 2c and medium Henson and I must say I prefer the weight of the 2c but I like how easy it is to shave with the Henson. It's dummy proof (reason why I got it). The T2 is just a better looking razor and the adjustable feature makes it better. I like the matt finish just looks awesome. I just have to get a good soap to finally get everything. I am choosing between a tallow based and glycerin based soap. What would you recommend for someone with more sensitive skin?
I ordered those Personna blades from Amazon and they shredded my face in an AL13. I can get a great shave with minimal irritation with Voskhod blades and a mediocre shave (but no blood) with the RK blades that came with the Henson. Not sure what to do with this box or Personnas that are like shaving with broken glass. Tried them in my TRC stainless steel and it was even worse than in the Henson.
@@OhioShaves Yeah that's why I bought them. My skin is currently healing from my last attempt with them in my TRC SS. They succeeded in effectively cutting my face but not my facial hair. I do my best to apply only as much pressure as needed to keep the razor head in contact with my skin, and I had no issues with the Voskhods or RKs aside from minor irritation under the jaw/chin.
@ohioshaves giveaway thanks for making this video, definitely thinking of getting the ti 22 but was tripped up on mild vs medium, but as a beginner I think the mild is more suited to me, plus my beard is probably a little finer than yours so a mild may be the way to go. I like the weight of SS but TI is so much better feeling on my skin. Thanks for your awesome video
@ohioshaves giveaway On point man. Both razors did a really nice job. When I first started looking I almost pulled the trigger on a Henson. I paused because I just didn't know enough about wet shaving and what other options there were. I was going off memory back in my early times and just remembered my father's adjustable butterfly. I binged watched your videos and some other research and as you know got the T2 Gunmetal. Now I have that curious itch to try a Henson just because everyone has great things to say. On the other hand winter is coming up so I'm in beard mode and contemplating the Twig for touch ups. I sort of been using the T2 for that so I might just go with the Henson.
@ohioshaves giveaway I just switched to DE a few weeks ago after using a Philips OneBlade for years. It was ok, but it was more akin to trimming super short than shaving. Now I'm using a Henson AL13 mild because it's pretty much foolproof. You have to actively try to cut yourself to get nicked. Out of these two in the video, I think I'd stick with the brand I know and go for the Henson Ti22, even though I'm sure the Rockwell is very good as well. Unrelated: If viewers from outside the US win, will you ship the prize across the pond to Europe?
@@OhioShaves I have no idea if the blades can be shipped. When I ordered my Henson, it was shipped (from the US) with 5 RK blades that came in the same box. Had no issue with that. But I don't see any reason why shipping razor blades would be prohibited. They're just blades, not glocks :)
@ohioshaves giveaway I'll take the Henson all day long over the T2 for my face and head shaves. I have the regular T2 and it shaves great. However, for everyday quick shaves when I am still half asleep I want a fast, safe, no fuss shave. Henson is the best autopilot razor I have ever used, and the +++ is amazingly efficient and still just as smooth and safe as the +. I voted for the T2 because I already own the Ti22 + and recommend it to anyone.
@@giovannebeistline2575 My Henson +++ is probably my most used razor along with my Karve Overlander. If you like the medium the +++ feels about the same, but it's more efficient. The +++ is still an autopilot razor that can be trusted and is a unique shave. If you like the medium, I am sure you will enjoy the aggressive. The T2 is a solid razor, but it has a lot of blade chatter and I am not a huge fan of adjustable razors. It has a huge bulky head which I am also not a fan of. I really enjoy my Gillette fatboy for an adjustable razor.
I prefer the T2 just because I let the hair on my head grow out way too much sometimes. If I shaved my head every few days I would go for the Henson. My all-time favorite is the leaf razor as shown in the video. It’s just a no-brainer you don’t have to think about what you’re doing and you get a quality shave every time on your head.
David I think the T2SS is an awesome razor. BUT if you are going to spend $250 for a razor you need to get the Lambda Ares V2 razor. It blows away the T2 and almost all other razors.
The T2 is a better razor, but it cost 3x as much. Have you looked at the Rockwell 6C? 🇨🇦🇺🇸Rockwell Razors 10% Discount Code and FREE Shipping: Ohio_Shaves 🔗getrockwell.com/ohio_shaves
@ohioshaves giveaway I didn't realize that I wasn't subscribed until just now. Sorry about that! This is one of the best videos I've seen about head shaving. Excellent camera angles for the back of the head. I've only been doing head shaves for about 4 months, and I've never heard anyone say that the top of the head with the least hair is the hardest part, but it's so true! What little hair I have there is so sparse and fine that it wants to just lay down instead of standing up strong like the back and sides. I want a Leaf because every head shaver raves about them so much, but for now I like a mild DE with a bead blast finish because I can control it a little better and feel things more than a polished razor. I always have an Injector loaded for when I miss those 7 hairs in the front. That blade is like my mom's car that only goes about 10 miles a week. It'll go from rust before wear and tear!
@ohioshaves giveaway I still think the T2 is better because of the versatility. I understand that having the single setting of the Henson makes it easier for the manufacturer to finetune it and certainly the titanium makes an excellent material. However, I prefer having the choice. I am sure the Henson is better for someone new or as blindfold daily driver. No need to search for the angle. Still when you use the a sharp enough blade any de razor will do the job I think. Anyway it was fun watching the "battle".
@ohioshaves giveaway I'd go for the Henson myself. My kids got me the AL +++, but after watching you shave your beard with the ti22 mild, that razor seems to do an outstanding job. Great comparison, Cheers!
@OhioShaves giveaway Love your videos. And just a thank you for the advice you gave me a while ago. Wet shaving has really improved my skin issues after cartridge razors. DE wet shaving for life now.
@ohioshaves giveaway You and Wet the Face exposed me to the persona comfort coated razor blades and it has been my favorite and long lasting blade. Always love watching your channel. Tons of growth for a good ASMR and review. Haha
They are all good. The personna platinum red used to be made in isreal but I have heard they are now being made in Germany. The personna platinum chrome (gold) is made in germany. The "lab blue" stainless steel comfort coated is made in the US and my favorite, same as David and he posted the link above.. The other is personna Stainless Steel DE blades, also made in USA.
@ohioshaves giveaway I’m voting for the TI22. Clearly these are both great razors but that Henson is so darn pretty! And, as a bicyclist, I kind of love titanium.
@ohioshaves giveaway. I got my leaf in today. And the shave oil and soap. Of course I forgot to use the shave oil as that is new to me. But the leaf gave a smooth shave. Now waiting on Rockwell 6C. Thanks for the videos.
@ohioshaves giveaway First of all, love your channel. New to DE razors and have learned most of what I have learned from your channel. Over the past few months I have purchased Henson Al13 in mild, medium, and aggressive. (Also purchased 5 more mild Al13s as gifts for friends). I then got the Ti22 mild, then a Leaf Twig, and just last week the Rockwell T2 in stainless steel. I am on vacation but have been doing some comparisons, so imagine my surprise when I saw your video that went up today when you were comparing the Rockwell T2 stainless steel with the Henson Ti22 mild with Personna blades. My comparison early this morning was the same set up, only used Personna Platinums, TOBS Tobacco Leaf, and Tree Nut vanilla bean pre-shave oil, and of course finishing with Thayer’s and Nivea sensitive cooling balm! Really enjoying the Rockwell but still learning it. My favorite is still the Henson Ti22 mild, but maybe that will change with time and greater skill. Not a bad choice among anything I have tried so at your recommendation. Thanks for all you do, and keep the fantastic content coming! Best regards, Chris
@ohioshaves giveaway I got the Rockwell 6C a little over a month ago after debating between that and the Henson thanks to your video comparison. My next two that I am considering between are the two in this video... like you are reading my mind and creating content just for me. Get out of my head!!! Hahaha Great video as always!
@ohioshaves giveaway I’ve been saving up for a new razor, thinking that the Henson would be my next purchase. Then I watch you video and start wondering about the titanium… or the Rockwell adjustable… or the 6S…. So confusing lol. Thanks for the great videos 🙂
@ohioshaves giveaway I think they’re both excellent razors. I like the adjustability of the T2, but the fact that the Ti22 doesn’t cut at the wrong angle is a great feature (for beginners and experiences shavers alike, you can never be too careful). In terms of looks, the Ti22 looks more beautiful in my opinion, but both are great looking razors. Also, I really like the fact that you zoom in in your videos, it makes it a lot easier to see how well the razors shave. Thanks for the reviews and the giveaway!
@ohioshaves giveaway Good work on both razor. Got myself Al13 ver 2 in Copper and it was good as the twig. The reason it is my daily driver is i got a lot of blade in my inventory. By the way, how does pearl flexi compares to rockwell t2?
@OhioShaves giveaway I'd go with the Rockwell because of the adjustability, been thinking about the 6S for a little while, just haven't been able to pull the trigger on a higher dollar razor yet. Great informational videos by the way!! The Henson Ti still looks very nice though too! Take care!
Hello guys ANYONE help me please....I've bought a T2 STAINLESS....it snaps when it's closing...Its very noticeable...and it's just as the doors are closing it's a loud snapping action and noise it doesn't seem right can anyone help me please it doesn't seem right...
@ohioshaves giveaway Your videos are getting better everytime David. I came across your channel when you bought the T3 brush, huge improvement in audio/video quality and presentation. Keep it up
@ohioshaves giveaway I am just getting started in Wet Shaving and have found your videos to be awesome. I am trying to figure out which razor to give a shot next. Thank you so much for all your info.
@ohioshaves giveaway As someone who has just been convinced by you to start using DE razors I think the Henson TI22 is the best pick for being a beginner. You have shown you can get an awesome shave while minimizing any chance of hurting yourself!
@ohioshaves giveaway I really love watching your reviews. I actually just ordered a Henson's titanium medium just this morning before I saw your video and I'm really excited to get it and try it out 😅
@ohioshaves giveaway It’s surprising to me that the hension + would be a 4 setting. Seems like it would be a bit less than that with how mild it is. Audibly the 4 setting sounded more aggressive. Seems like that would make any setting less than a 4 on the Rockwell pretty useless if it’s even more mild than the +. Awesome video and I am definitely excited for this giveaway. These are the 2 razors I have been considering between.
I now have the T2SS, AL13 + and Ti22++. IMHO the mild equates to setting 3 on the T2 and the medium is about a 4. Setting 1 doesn't do anything ;-) However, the Henson just shaves differently. Either mild or medium its simply better at avoiding nicks and razor burn. I like the concept of the T2 for adjustability, but the Henson's are so good. The Ti is a work of art and with a Feather blade has given me the best shave I've ever had.
@ohioahaves giveaway I have purchased first the AL13 and afterwards I moved forward and brought the Ti22 and I love this one so much! Afterwards purchased 400 piece of Feather blade... I set for my whole life I guess for under 400 $ what a great deal it was!
@ohioshaves giveaway I would liketo thank you for all the information about wet shaving you are sharing with us! That Henson looks like Razorock GC. Greetings from Greece!
@ohioshaves giveaway I haven't tried any of these razors but I have 2 stainless steel razors and sometimes I feel the weight is too much. That's why I choose Henson ti over the Rockwell.
@ohioshaves giveaway In my humble opinion, I think both are exceptional razors! The Henson is a no nonsense, don't really have to think twice about it. The T2 has the versatility of adjustability. Either one you can't go wrong with for an exceptional shave! Thanks for the generous giveaway opportunity and all your effort in your videos! JimG from Northfield, Ohio
@ohioshaves giveaway. For me the flexibility of the T2 SS would work best. I have different sensitivity levels on my face and neck, so to be able to quickly adjust in flight whilst shaving would be a great benefit. As always, really appreciate your vids and thoughts on different razors and products! Keep going brother! Cheers mate Pete
how does the aggressiveness of the Thorn compared to the Henson? Does more agro result in a closer shave? I like to shave every three or four days, once against the grain and so smooth that you can't feel any stubble at all. Thanks @ohioshaves giveaway
much appreciated...i'm going to go with the Thorn because of the single blade (I only use a blade once anyhow) and narrowness of the head. I'll go through your link if there's one.@@OhioShaves
@ohioshaves giveaway Just getting into wet shaving and general skincare for longevity. You’ve quickly become my go-to channel and helped me decide on the Henson AL13 mild. Still getting the hang of it, but also trying out different blades and oils, cremes, and soaps. Having fun dialing in what works for me and excited to get to a point where I’m only changing one variable at a time. Couldn’t justify getting the Ti22 out the gate but shooting my shot with the giveaway! Thanks for what you do.
@@OhioShaves so far I’ve just practiced with the RK blades it came with, but I’m not a fan. It might be my the learning curve, but they feel dull. Saw your recommendation to grab a variety pack, so I’m excited to try a few brands out. Loading up a Feather blade tomorrow morning and going from there!
@@OhioShaves just a quick update: the feather blade cut my beard way better than the RK’s, but left me with a pretty bad razor burn and some ingrown hairs. Swapped the feather out for an Astra green blade and got a good 3 pass shave without the irritation. Going to practice with the Astra/AL13 combo for the next few shaves and see where it takes me. Thanks again for your recommendations.
@ohioshaves giveaway I just started safety razor shaving instead of electric shaving because I was not getting that close shave and used cartridges before that. You convinced me to start trying it after watching your videos. Only on second shave with safety razor and still learning
@ohioshaves giveaway I have been using an old Gillette slim adjustable for quite some time now and it’s been great and the with the Rockwell T2 it looks like a step up! My slim has a bit of a misalignment between the blade and guard and makes it hard to do a ATG pass even on setting one without getting some horrible nicks and burn. I think a RT2 would be class to combat this issue, cheers
@Ohioshaves Giveaway Great video as usual! I have the 6C from Rockwell and love it. Have wanted to try the T2 for a while and this has been a great review. Both are cracking razors!
@ohioshaves giveaway I have old Gillettes and I like them all. From the new ones, the AL13 is good for me. Not more. My C6 is a "wow" against it (using setting 2-4). The T2 is very good as well, but I prefer the 6C, because of its smaller head. Maybe the TI22 would be a nice option for me. Good luck to all shavers for the giveaway!
@ohioshaves giveaway After having issues with blade alignment on a Rex Ambassador even after a warranty replacement I would go with the Henson as one of their main selling points is their tight tolerances. The issue was caused by the blade fitting loose on the alignment posts and for some reason it was only aligned if I pushed the blade over to the side of the razor that has the 3 on the adjustment dial so maybe the posts or the holes they go in were off center too. The issue is most obvious on the lowest setting and resulted in one side being drastically more aggressive than the other unless you got lucky with alignment or aligned it manually. Both the original one and the replacement had the same issue and batch numbers were S4 and T1 I believe but I'm sure basically all modern Ambassadors have this issue unless they changed something after I returned mine.
Thanks for such a great channel!
That is so cool. Thanks for the generous gift. You’re the best.
I’m a 52 year old newbie at shaving with a safety razor. I just bought a Rockwell 6C because of your videos. Thanks for making these great videos. I’m still learning, so keep ‘em coming!!

To be able to shave so well with a mild safety razor, seriously impressed with your technique man. Cheers!
Thank you much

I will. Thanks, Danny.
I bought a Rockwell T2. It was really cool, and worked well for a couple of shaves, but it never felt like it was a lifetime razor… and after a couple of months, it stopped closing correctly (I never dropped or handled it carelessly) where the hatch added a lot of resistance, and the aggressiveness differed A LOT between the two sides. I got it replaced with a Rockwell 6S about a year ago, and I absolutely love it. Unlike the T2, I feel confident that my 6S will survive me.
So did you return it under its lifetime warranty?
@OhioShaves I guess so, I simply told the retailer about my issues and they took it back. They had a new T2 ready to go out, but I asked them to send me a 6S instead.
I do love that they are customizable, though. If I haven’t shaved in a few days, I’ll go for the 4 or 5, but then I swap to the 2 for the sideways shave. I find it a lot more comfortable than using the 4 for multiple passes.
I shave with the Pearl Flexi (similar to the Rockwell T2) but since I'm new to wet shaving, I'm wondering if a Leaf or Henson would be better options so I don't get so many nicks while I'm figuring out technique. Great video comparing these razors. Thanks!

You’ve convinced me to buy the Henson Ti22 but bump it up to Medium
Great choice. Let know what you think
I just recently started using the HS AL13 medium, and I love it. Great feel in the hands and very easy to find the correct angle.
Great shave. Well done video! I'd assume the titanium weight changes up the Henson a bit form its aluminum counterpart.:)
💯
Awesome job per the usual! Question I’ve been wanting to try the personna blades, but nowhere near the beard growth like you. Is this an aggressive blade, or kind of used for any hair type?
On the sharper side. Like Perma Sharp and Gillette platinum. Not as harsh as a feather blade.
Right on! Thx
It would come down to personal preference as both did well. I guess it would all come down to what all you shave as the T2 would be great for face shavers but the Henson would be great for head shavers. I'm with you as I always have the Thorn on standby as it's such an easy razor to use and shaves very well.
Thanks for sharing
Yeeeaaahhh ....great shave...that pre shave oil is so efficient
💯👍
Like you, I too love my 6S. I don't own a Henson but, like all who go down this rabbit hole, would love one.
However, before I take the plunge, which plate on the 6S do you think best replicates the Henson experience? (Weight differences not withstanding).
Thanks
It’s a 4plate for the Ti22 mild and 3plate for the AL13 mild
@@OhioShaves Thank you! My favorite setting on the 6S is 4. Now, while I can switch to plate 3 for the Henson experience, it's much more fun to buy the Henson ........ Don't tell my wife........

@ohioshaves giveaway
Hi ! I am a young man from Asia. I learned how to pick and properly use a safety razor by watching your video. I have discovered that wet shaving is truly an art form and it has become a hobby of mine. I have just purchased a Merkur 34C and have started to wet shave regularly. After each shave, I feel very good. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I like Rockwell t2 ss because you can change the setting depending on your skin type, it is more convenient.
Thanks for sharing and I’m glad I could help. Stay in touch.
Waddaya think about the Rex Envoy vs. the Rockwell T2?
T2. The adjustability is hard to beat.
@ohioshaves giveaway
I'm about to make the switch from cartridge razors(Harrys) to a safety razor. Have been leaning towards the Henson Shaving AL13 and was looking at Astra blades, but saw you use Feather in the previous Henson review AL13 vs AL13M. Do you recommend Feather as a starting blade?
I would buy a variety pack of blades. Everyone’s face and skin tight is just a little different and they react differently to all the different blades. You can’t mess with a variety pack. Then you can go all in on the blades that you like.
Got the T2 gun metal today w the rockwell shave cream and stand in your coupon code. Like the easy adjust, loonger handle and TTO feature. Let see how it shaves. Leaf Twig my first wet shaver. Just ok. I wouldnt buy it again or recommend it.
Thanks for your support. Nice upgrade. Is the twig the razor you made switch with? 🤔I think it’s a great beginner razor for people making the switch from a disposable razor. Non-threatening don’t have to worry about your angle. You just can’t press hard on your face and you get a better shave than a cartridge razor. It can’t just be me that feels this way?
T2 is upgraded version? bcz i heard many negative reviews about T.
V2. Never had a bad shave. Great razor for me
@@OhioShaves sounds great, thanks 🙏.
I just wonna make a right choice right now. I'm newbie with wet shaving and my first razor is Gillette king C. I really like wet shaving, but i think that King C is too mild, i have a sensitive skin and have to make many passes to get BBS, which provides with razor burn, niks etc. So i think about more aggressive razor or just buy an adjustable. So now in my list is 6S, T2, R41... There is so many of them ffs😔.
How does the rex envoy rank with these two? Im still leaning more towards it.
It's $100 cheaper. I'm planning on comparing it to the Rockwell T2. Coming soon.
The r41 twist you have is it the newer model or a 2013 model cause the newer ones have less blade exposure than the 2013
Old
@@OhioShaves Thank you
@Ohioshaves giveaway!
What are the numbers in the corners for on the RK blades?
Most blades are numbered so you can keep track of how many shaves on that blade
@ohioshaves giveaway
Originally voted T2 for adjustability. I have a 2C and mild Al13 , both are great. Prefer the weight of the 2C over Al13, but prefer the “auto pilot” ease of use with the Al13, so much so I’ve convinced the gf to give it a shot for her legs. Seeing this video I’m kinda leaning towards Henson.
It’s a mind blowing experience from going from the AL 13 to the titanium razor. It really is that much better.
@ohioshaves giveaway
The Henson does look good not gonna lie. Nice shave. I have the 2c and medium Henson and I must say I prefer the weight of the 2c but I like how easy it is to shave with the Henson. It's dummy proof (reason why I got it). The T2 is just a better looking razor and the adjustable feature makes it better. I like the matt finish just looks awesome. I just have to get a good soap to finally get everything. I am choosing between a tallow based and glycerin based soap. What would you recommend for someone with more sensitive skin?

Does the regular T2 have any QC or durability issues? Could you use it daily/ regularly ?
I have never had any issues
I ordered those Personna blades from Amazon and they shredded my face in an AL13. I can get a great shave with minimal irritation with Voskhod blades and a mediocre shave (but no blood) with the RK blades that came with the Henson.
Not sure what to do with this box or Personnas that are like shaving with broken glass. Tried them in my TRC stainless steel and it was even worse than in the Henson.
Best blade for me and a ton others. Are you pressing too hard?
@@OhioShaves Yeah that's why I bought them. My skin is currently healing from my last attempt with them in my TRC SS. They succeeded in effectively cutting my face but not my facial hair.
I do my best to apply only as much pressure as needed to keep the razor head in contact with my skin, and I had no issues with the Voskhods or RKs aside from minor irritation under the jaw/chin.
How does the titanium feel on the skin temperature wise? Does it feel any different than the SS?
Temperature wise. It feels the same. It’s a setting 4 on the T2ss

Which razor will you be giving away 😬😬 both are awesome
Stay tuned to the most current videos that are published to enter the contest. Winner was already drawn here.
@ohioshaves giveaway thanks for making this video, definitely thinking of getting the ti 22 but was tripped up on mild vs medium, but as a beginner I think the mild is more suited to me, plus my beard is probably a little finer than yours so a mild may be the way to go. I like the weight of SS but TI is so much better feeling on my skin. Thanks for your awesome video
Right on 👍
@ohioshaves giveaway
On point man. Both razors did a really nice job. When I first started looking I almost pulled the trigger on a Henson. I paused because I just didn't know enough about wet shaving and what other options there were. I was going off memory back in my early times and just remembered my father's adjustable butterfly. I binged watched your videos and some other research and as you know got the T2 Gunmetal. Now I have that curious itch to try a Henson just because everyone has great things to say. On the other hand winter is coming up so I'm in beard mode and contemplating the Twig for touch ups. I sort of been using the T2 for that so I might just go with the Henson.
Thanks for sharing
@ohioshaves giveaway
I just switched to DE a few weeks ago after using a Philips OneBlade for years. It was ok, but it was more akin to trimming super short than shaving.
Now I'm using a Henson AL13 mild because it's pretty much foolproof. You have to actively try to cut yourself to get nicked.
Out of these two in the video, I think I'd stick with the brand I know and go for the Henson Ti22, even though I'm sure the Rockwell is very good as well.
Unrelated: If viewers from outside the US win, will you ship the prize across the pond to Europe?
Yes. Over seas is okay. I don’t think I can ship razor blades with the razor. Is this true?
@@OhioShaves I have no idea if the blades can be shipped. When I ordered my Henson, it was shipped (from the US) with 5 RK blades that came in the same box. Had no issue with that.
But I don't see any reason why shipping razor blades would be prohibited. They're just blades, not glocks :)
👍
Excellent video!
Thanks for your support.
@ohioshaves giveaway
I'll take the Henson all day long over the T2 for my face and head shaves. I have the regular T2 and it shaves great. However, for everyday quick shaves when I am still half asleep I want a fast, safe, no fuss shave. Henson is the best autopilot razor I have ever used, and the +++ is amazingly efficient and still just as smooth and safe as the +. I voted for the T2 because I already own the Ti22 + and recommend it to anyone.
Makes since.
@@giovannebeistline2575 My Henson +++ is probably my most used razor along with my Karve Overlander. If you like the medium the +++ feels about the same, but it's more efficient. The +++ is still an autopilot razor that can be trusted and is a unique shave. If you like the medium, I am sure you will enjoy the aggressive. The T2 is a solid razor, but it has a lot of blade chatter and I am not a huge fan of adjustable razors. It has a huge bulky head which I am also not a fan of. I really enjoy my Gillette fatboy for an adjustable razor.
@ohioshaves giveaway. Another high quality shave and video! Which of the two razors would you prefer for head shaves?
I prefer the T2 just because I let the hair on my head grow out way too much sometimes. If I shaved my head every few days I would go for the Henson. My all-time favorite is the leaf razor as shown in the video. It’s just a no-brainer you don’t have to think about what you’re doing and you get a quality shave every time on your head.
David I think the T2SS is an awesome razor. BUT if you are going to spend $250 for a razor you need to get the Lambda Ares V2 razor. It blows away the T2 and almost all other razors.
Thanks Wally. I will look into it
@ohioshaves giveaway Would the twig be the most convenient? The T2 looks great for shaving and even better for rinsing the shave cream from the razor.
The T2 is a better razor, but it cost 3x as much. Have you looked at the Rockwell 6C? 🇨🇦🇺🇸Rockwell Razors

I didn't realize that I wasn't subscribed until just now. Sorry about that! This is one of the best videos I've seen about head shaving. Excellent camera angles for the back of the head. I've only been doing head shaves for about 4 months, and I've never heard anyone say that the top of the head with the least hair is the hardest part, but it's so true! What little hair I have there is so sparse and fine that it wants to just lay down instead of standing up strong like the back and sides.
I want a Leaf because every head shaver raves about them so much, but for now I like a mild DE with a bead blast finish because I can control it a little better and feel things more than a polished razor. I always have an Injector loaded for when I miss those 7 hairs in the front. That blade is like my mom's car that only goes about 10 miles a week. It'll go from rust before wear and tear!
Thanks.
@ohioshaves giveaway
I still think the T2 is better because of the versatility. I understand that having the single setting of the Henson makes it easier for the manufacturer to finetune it and certainly the titanium makes an excellent material. However, I prefer having the choice. I am sure the Henson is better for someone new or as blindfold daily driver. No need to search for the angle. Still when you use the a sharp enough blade any de razor will do the job I think.
Anyway it was fun watching the "battle".
Thanks for sharing

I'd go for the Henson myself. My kids got me the AL +++, but after watching you shave your beard with the ti22 mild, that razor seems to do an outstanding job. Great comparison, Cheers!

They are all good. The personna platinum red used to be made in isreal but I have heard they are now being made in Germany. The personna platinum chrome (gold) is made in germany.

@ohioshaves giveaway
First of all, love your channel. New to DE razors and have learned most of what I have learned from your channel. Over the past few months I have purchased Henson Al13 in mild, medium, and aggressive. (Also purchased 5 more mild Al13s as gifts for friends). I then got the Ti22 mild, then a Leaf Twig, and just last week the Rockwell T2 in stainless steel. I am on vacation but have been doing some comparisons, so imagine my surprise when I saw your video that went up today when you were comparing the Rockwell T2 stainless steel with the Henson Ti22 mild with Personna blades. My comparison early this morning was the same set up, only used Personna Platinums, TOBS Tobacco Leaf, and Tree Nut vanilla bean pre-shave oil, and of course finishing with Thayer’s and Nivea sensitive cooling balm!
Really enjoying the Rockwell but still learning it. My favorite is still the Henson Ti22 mild, but maybe that will change with time and greater skill. Not a bad choice among anything I have tried so at your recommendation.
Thanks for all you do, and keep the fantastic content coming!
Best regards,
Chris

I’ve been saving up for a new razor, thinking that the Henson would be my next purchase. Then I watch you video and start wondering about the titanium… or the Rockwell adjustable… or the 6S…. So confusing lol.
Thanks for the great videos 🙂
Henson al-13 is a great razor. Good luck in your journey.
@ohioshaves giveaway
I think they’re both excellent razors. I like the adjustability of the T2, but the fact that the Ti22 doesn’t cut at the wrong angle is a great feature (for beginners and experiences shavers alike, you can never be too careful). In terms of looks, the Ti22 looks more beautiful in my opinion, but both are great looking razors.
Also, I really like the fact that you zoom in in your videos, it makes it a lot easier to see how well the razors shave. Thanks for the reviews and the giveaway!

Awesome. Thanks for your support.
@ohioshaves giveaway
It’s surprising to me that the hension + would be a 4 setting. Seems like it would be a bit less than that with how mild it is. Audibly the 4 setting sounded more aggressive. Seems like that would make any setting less than a 4 on the Rockwell pretty useless if it’s even more mild than the +.
Awesome video and I am definitely excited for this giveaway. These are the 2 razors I have been considering between.
👍
I now have the T2SS, AL13 + and Ti22++. IMHO the mild equates to setting 3 on the T2 and the medium is about a 4. Setting 1 doesn't do anything ;-) However, the Henson just shaves differently. Either mild or medium its simply better at avoiding nicks and razor burn. I like the concept of the T2 for adjustability, but the Henson's are so good. The Ti is a work of art and with a Feather blade has given me the best shave I've ever had.
@ohioahaves giveaway
I have purchased first the AL13 and afterwards I moved forward and brought the Ti22 and I love this one so much! Afterwards purchased 400 piece of Feather blade... I set for my whole life I guess for under 400 $ what a great deal it was!
Love it

@@OhioShaves so far I’ve just practiced with the RK blades it came with, but I’m not a fan. It might be my the learning curve, but they feel dull. Saw your recommendation to grab a variety pack, so I’m excited to try a few brands out. Loading up a Feather blade tomorrow morning and going from there!
Great
@@OhioShaves just a quick update: the feather blade cut my beard way better than the RK’s, but left me with a pretty bad razor burn and some ingrown hairs. Swapped the feather out for an Astra green blade and got a good 3 pass shave without the irritation. Going to practice with the Astra/AL13 combo for the next few shaves and see where it takes me. Thanks again for your recommendations.

I have been using an old Gillette slim adjustable for quite some time now and it’s been great and the with the Rockwell T2 it looks like a step up! My slim has a bit of a misalignment between the blade and guard and makes it hard to do a ATG pass even on setting one without getting some horrible nicks and burn. I think a RT2 would be class to combat this issue, cheers
I totally agree with you. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

Great choice

I have old Gillettes and I like them all. From the new ones, the AL13 is good for me. Not more. My C6 is a "wow" against it (using setting 2-4). The T2 is very good as well, but I prefer the 6C, because of its smaller head. Maybe the TI22 would be a nice option for me. Good luck to all shavers for the giveaway!

After having issues with blade alignment on a Rex Ambassador even after a warranty replacement I would go with the Henson as one of their main selling points is their tight tolerances. The issue was caused by the blade fitting loose on the alignment posts and for some reason it was only aligned if I pushed the blade over to the side of the razor that has the 3 on the adjustment dial so maybe the posts or the holes they go in were off center too. The issue is most obvious on the lowest setting and resulted in one side being drastically more aggressive than the other unless you got lucky with alignment or aligned it manually. Both the original one and the replacement had the same issue and batch numbers were S4 and T1 I believe but I'm sure basically all modern Ambassadors have this issue unless they changed something after I returned mine.
First time hearing this issue. Wow
