The Henson AL13-M puts an end to shaving irritation and cuts, while also making your skin feel comfortable and smooth. We created this to give you a whole new shaving experience unlike any other. Your skin will feel amazing after using this razor.

Our medium razor has slightly more blade exposure and a wider blade gap than the regular Henson AL13. This allows the medium to handle thicker and longer hair.

Best for: A slightly more aggressive shave.

Made in Canada.
We design, manufacture and package the Henson in Canada.

Lifetime warranty.
Buy once, use forever.

Gentle on skin.
Simple to use and lets you shave without hurting your skin.

AS9100
Manufactured at our aerospace facility in Ontario, Canada, our razor is built with the same AS9100 aerospace standards required to create satellite components.

Blade Exposure
Our blade exposure and blade angle are precisely machined to tolerances as tight as +/-0.00025" to provide a close shave with little, if any, irritation.

Light weight
At 1.3 oz., this razor is ultra-lightweight and extremely agile, yet completely proficient, and is a joy to use. It is economically machined and coated with Type II anodize, which gives this razor the looks you want with the protection you need.

Shaving is a geometry problem.
Don't worry, we've done the math so you don't have to.

With a blade that only sticks out roughly 3/4 the thickness of a human hair (0.0023" or 58 microns), this razor eliminates all the unnecessary blade exposure. We've also incorporated the optimum shaving angle into the head design. By focusing on repeatability, we've virtually eliminated any learning curve associated with this razor.  People used to using a multi-blade cartridge razor will be surprised how easy the transition is.

Benefits:

  • Lifetime Warranty - Henson razors are machined to last. Buy once, use forever, and pass it down from generation to generation.
  • No Planned Obsolescence - Our razor works with any standard double edge blade you can buy almost anywhere - local supermarkets, shaving shops or online. No subscriptions. No proprietary blades.
  • Much Cheaper to Own - With blades that cost pennies, most people will spend $2-3 per year on blades.

A review update

I'm keeping the five stars because this razor always delivers an amazingly close shave, but I've returned to my Edwin Jagger DE89. The issue is my apparently sensitive skin. Unless I mixed my soap on the wet side, and unless the blade was quite fresh, there were too many days when my skin burned after shaving with the aggressively angled blade. Perhaps a different soap will make a difference. We'll see.

A really nice shave

I didn't think anything could top my Edwin Jagger DE89, and then I tried this razor on a whim. (OK, I was intrigued by the company's website where a bunch of geeky aerospace types talk about measured parameters I wouldn't have thought needed measuring.) The angle is more aggressive than the Edwin Jagger, but I also think there is something to the company's claim of clamping the blade more firmly in position for a better result. My shaving is now one pass when the blade is fresh. (The exception is my sideburns, which require a touch-up no matter what combination of razor and blade I use or how fresh the blade is.) After a few days with the same blade, I need a few strokes here and there with the Henson to achieve complete smoothness, but nothing like the extra passes I have needed with other double-edge razors. One note for people contemplating this razor: The handle is long. It's 3 3/4 inches from the bottom plate to the base of the handle. This may prove a problem for people who value something like a Merkur for the ease of maneuvering its short handle. At the same time, because this razor is aluminum, it is very easy to wield and as light as those disposable plastic atrocities we must carry in order to pass through airport security. As an aside, the RK blades that ship with the Henson are OK, but I prefer the result with this razor and my favorite Feather blades.
