I have an original Henson MED (I was an early purchaser - before they even began marking the plates) and loved it. It's my go to travel razor. If you get the MED and need a bit more aggression, you can back off the tightness of the handle and head by about a quarter turn or so. It kicks up the aggression a bit. I've done it for a final or first pass when I needed it.
Great shave Chris. I saw Matt's video introducing the new Rex razor blades. He doesn't try to hide the fact that they are rebranded Czech blades: Tiger/Tatra. On the Razor Emporium site I noticed they are selling at quite a mark up. So IMHO only worth it if you want to pay extra for the fancy Rex packaging and rebranding.
Hey Chris! Nice shave with a REAL adjustable!!😅😅 If you have a Sally Beauty Supply near you, they sell US made Personna DE blades in a 5 pack. I love those, really smooth and sharp! If you ever wish to invest in a good adjustable razor, maybe try the Rex Ambassodor. I have one and the build quality is top notch. They are expensive, but they are lifetime warranty. Matt from Razor Emporium stands behind his products! Thanks for the video! JimG
@rightsideupvt thanks! I found them. They were in the black dispenser thats awesome. I will test one out for all my upcoming De shaves. Once I get all these vintage razors fixed and sorted, I will be getting some more v&e's soaps and splashes .

Good shave Chris! I like the Personna blades for Gems, injectors and de’s.
@@bwmacho9461 thanks, I haven't tried the new injector blades I have a bunch of the vintage ones, I'll have to pick some up and give him a try

@@JimG7755 Thanks Jim
Finished off a tub of Captain's Choice Nor'Easter today. Already put out the V&E's Summer Sky soap, and AS for the rest of my shaves this week!
I think I may have sent you some Personna USA blades.
