The Henson razor is a 5. The Master Splash Frosted Lavender Splash is a 3. The razor (using an Astra blade) is a very smooth shave, comfortable shave. I knew it would be a light razor made of aluminum but in spite of loving heftier razors I very much enjoy this lighter razor as a great change of pace, so I say “Go for it.” I rate the after shave splash a 3 only because I’m not crazy about the scent. But wow, talk about a menthol hit! I have to tone it down with some witch hazel as it’s really potent stuff. A little goes a long way, gents! For me, though, I’d prefer a different scent.
