Today's shave with the Henson Clone was a first shave. For this shave I did use a new Gillette Silver Blue blade. This razor is a mild razor. I don't think there is much chance of drawing blood unless one has very bad form or loads the blade wrong. It does quite a bit of noise like scraping toast. After two passes, there was more clean-up / touch-up than usual. However, I did get a good shave.
