Two New Razors

OK, I know. I said I won't be buying any new hardware this year, and here I am in February with two new razors. I should just stay off AliExpress. Anyhow, here they are. The first one is the Henson clone. I have the black version of this razor, and it is a great razor. It was ridiculously cheap, and I thought with two, I wouldn't feel bad about piffing one one day.  

The second one I have not seen before, and the price was right. It is a JiFULI double edge safety razor. It is a two piece razor. Unscrewing the handle separates the cap from the base plate and handle. I am looking forward to giving it a go next week. I read one testimony that reported that it was aggressive and efficient.
