Maybe HensonShaving can help... is there a way to tell if it is the mild or medium head? Thanks!

I can confirm it is a medium head.
interesting. then if that's the case, their medium head felt incredibly mild to me.

Razor is cleaned and on its way to next participant. I sent tracking to my friend Jesus Kaotikfusion this evening.
First thank you to HensonShaving Hensontech for creating this wonderful razor. And of course thank you to andrewjs18 for all is work enabling these pass arounds.

Some thoughts on the razor:
- The Henson razor currently comes in 2 heads, a mild and medium. This is the medium head.
- I found the razor to be relatively mild but I was able to get a BBS with my standard 3 passes.
- The razor head "makes the angle for you", which I appreciated. It reminds me in some ways of the Blackbird, even though, needless to say the Blackbird has a totally different face feel.
- The handle is extremely comfortable, and the length and weight was very well balanced. One thing I have learned from these pass arounds is that I prefer a slightly longer razor handle, i.e. closer to 100mm rather than 85mm. This one, I believe was just under 100mm, and was ideal in my view.
- The weight is very light, as you would expect, given that it is aluminum. The is the first aluminum razor I used, and I liked it. I have heard that aluminum has less tighter tolerances than titanium and stainless steel, but I could see no evidence of this. The blade clamping is extremely tight / rigid.
- Aesthetically, the razor is very attractive, in my view.
- Overall, at ~$50, this razor represents excellent value, in my view.
