Very interested but with how long shipping has been from Canada to US I may wait till better times. I do like the shape of the head design

Bad for me, got out of work early and ordered a tan one, I love my RS10 and this looks to have even more blade rigidity with similar geometry of the head

I think you’ll like this razor a lot.

I need more shaves with it, but there wasn’t much stubble today to go at! I keep studying the geometry and how close they were able to put the edge of the top cap to the edge of the blade.

Going to use a sharper blade tomorrow and compare my notes to shave 1 with the Astra.

For those troubled by the shipping cost, it looks like the free shipping at $100 is $100 CAD.  I bought the razor in both gaps for $80 USD, and that was enough to qualify for free shipping to the US.

I knew you weren't going to be able to resist haha. 

Looking forward to your thoughts. I'll likely get one also, but I'm going to wait until they release a shorter handle and in a different material.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of aluminum but I really liked the head design.

So am I! I've been wanting to see another razor with flat sides on the top cap like the Blackbird and the RS-10. I'm glad I came across this razor (thank OP!)

wonder how they decided men and women need different gaps? Also missed this until your post. Then I went back to look at the FAQ.

I'm not a fan of anodized aluminum because of the drag. Did like the alloy/finish Ikon used for the X3, whatever that was.

My curiosity about this new razor was greater than my common sense.
I too ordered one for me and one for my spouse. I will report back on the Canada to US shipping time, since some have people reported long waits and others have said there are no delays. I look forward to giving my shaving feedback on this new razor and from my spouse (leg shavers perspective).
By the way, the shipping was free since the order total was $80 US (approx. $106 Canadian). Henson must use $100 Canadian as the threshold for free shipping.
