Henson Ti

Titanium is almost two times heavier than Aluminium.
Same shape, different balance and behaviour.
And q/p ratio drop down ...

BUT, new TI22 is really an eye candy !!!



I'll love to read the real specs when fixed.
Now there's the page from AL13.
Just aggressivity chart is updated.

That TI version is very nice looking! Still not entirely sold on the handle style though. Is it a standard thread?

Great info chart find, thanks for posting it.

Just how mild is the mild?
I headshave daily and have really sensitive skin.

This new razor is great news! I’m really disappointed with the $500+ Ti offerings lately... I’ll just say no, thanks. IMHO, we need to get back to some some sense of reason!

Is it a standard thread?

Yes.

Milder than DE89, but more efficient.

I have the 'standard' medium and I also head shave every day. I find it a bit mild, so I open the razor head to a 1/4 turn or more for greater efficiency. 
You don't have to do that as it is efficient as it is, but I find it a tad too mild for my head shaves if I don't do this as I have quite coarse hair, especially, on the back and sides.  
I am not sure which razor(s) you use for your head shaves, but the Henson medium is quite mild and you might find it too mild for your head shaves, depending on how coarse you hair is on your head. You won't be able to determine this until you actually try one, unfortunately.

The mild and medium will be identical form aluminum to titanium.  With the aggressive version, (which we are not sure if it will be available in aluminum or not), will include a modified top cap with removed material near the blade, to allow more skin contact, as well as removed material at the top to allow more articulation.  The changes allow for a freer movement and more choice in the stroke...if that makes sense. 


Henson told me that the design is very similar to the aluminum version, so if the original men's is too mild for you, aggressive is probably the better choice.

Mild is quite mild.  We have some great feedback on head shaves.  We have also have sever people with very sensitive skin, and who always get red dots, try our razor and loved it...

So tempted to order the Titanium.
Kind of a gamble not knowing how it'll shave for me at that price.

Same handle length as the Al I assume. If this came with a 90mm handle option, I'd be all over it. Still, nice to see new skin in the game, and seemingly providing a quality product at non-luxury item prices. I have minimal gear these days and haven't bought any new shave gear since June, but the Henson offerings have roused me from my slumber, hahahaha.

Does anyone know if the Titanium Henson has the tungsten steel washer on the baseplate? This was a brilliant solution to protect the baseplate on the aluminum version.
