Watch our very own Dave McMillan shave with the Henson Al13, Please note that this is a version V1 razor shave and ignore him when he says they are made in the USA!
The Henson AL13 V2 is the new razor from Henson with subtle changes in the shape of the head edges as shown in the images.
- The unique head angles the inserted DE razor blade to the perfect angle for shaving leaving no room for blade overexposure and therefore causing no blade irritation when shaving.
- The Blade angle is precisely CND machined to tolerances as tight as 0.000508 mm, the result is an absolutely smooth and pleasant shave.
- The head is uniquely designed with exit channels designed to expel hair and lather to ensure that there is no clogging. Hair and lather are expelled during the rinsing of the head which should be completed several times whilst shaving.
- Thread design feature. When dirt or grit gets into threads, it can cause them to bind. This channel catches grit as you turn the handle so that the threads do not bind. When you unscrew it, you are able to wipe that channel clean.
- Plastic free and made from aerospace grade aluminium and a piece of tungsten (the screw hole in the base plate), your Henson AL13 razor will last a lifetime.
The Henson AL13 Razors V2 are CNC Engineered Aluminium Razors which come in Mild or Medium aggression versions in multiple colours.
Made in Canada from aerospace grade aluminium to the AS9100 aerospace standards, the same standard used to create satellite components.

Safety razors, including single-edge models, offer superior shaving performance for the head and face. While initial investment in brands like Thorn and Proof may be higher, long-term cost savings are realized compared to disposable plastic razors. The Henson safety razor, in particular, is a worthwhile investment, though a learning curve is involved. Transitioning to a safety razor eliminates the irritation often associated with disposable razors.
Unfortunately I find it too aggressive for me so stuck with a razor I won’t now use
