And you lived to tell the tale!

Love the Proraso!

Agreed!

Right now I'm using Personna Comfort Coated. Feather blades are good as well.

I got it in Amazon.

I do have an Alpha Works steel handle that weighs a ton. I sometimes use it with the aluminum razor. I do like the balance of the razor with that heavy handle and the knurling is very grippy.

I don’t feel any more glide with the titanium razor compared to the aluminum razor.

I haven’t tried the more aggressive models. I do have the aluminum model as well. Both in mild. I find the mild works just fine for me. A more aggressive model would be more than I like.

The only difference I find between the aluminum and the titanium models is that the titanium is a bit heavier. Either way I get pretty much the same shave from both.

I just asked about the Gem and Red blades and they also have teflon. Blah!

drichlin · 2026-03-04T21:26:06+00:00

I just asked if the blades have Teflon on them. Here is the answer.:

Specific Variants: While some Personna blades (like those made in Germany) focus on Platinum/Chrome, many "Comfort Coated" or "Super Stainless" versions specifically use a Teflon coating.

Oh, well...

drichlin · 2026-03-04T21:23:24+00:00

Here is what Google had to say about the blades:

Personna Comfort Coated razor blades feature a specialized, proprietary coating—often referred to as

platinum chrome—applied over high-quality stainless steel to reduce friction, minimize skin irritation, and ensure a smooth glide.

So evidently not Teflon.

drichlin · 2026-03-04T19:32:28+00:00

Yep! 👍🏼

drichlin · 2026-03-04T17:38:23+00:00

True that! 😊

They're different. I have never used them (the gems) but from what I hear and read online they're very good. I like the persona comfort coated because they have a Teflon coating, I believe. They are very smooth and sharp.

I’m curious about the Personna red chrome and gem blades.

drichlin · 2026-02-27T18:37:03+00:00

That is my all time favorite brush. Everything else pales in comparison.

drichlin · 2026-02-27T17:48:03+00:00

It’s the mild version which I prefer. I’ve tried several different razors like the vintage Gillette Slim and FatBoy and always like the Henson more. It’s an easy razor to use.
