At Henson Shaving, we’re setting a new standard for the shaving experience, not by following trends but by addressing real needs.
We combine functional design with a science-based approach to deliver products that promote healthier-looking, irritation-free skin.
Henson is on a mission to quantify the impact of erythema (razor burn) and improve the shaving experience for those with sensitive skin and shave irritation.
Our initial study compared the Henson Razor to a leading multi-blade razor. 60 volunteers shaved one side of their face or neck with each razor. Multispectral images of their skin taken before and after shaving showed less razor burn was caused by Henson compared to the multi-blade

Precision Engineering- Many men experience some form of irritation to the skin when shaving like razor burn, an inconsistent shave and ingrown hairs caused by inferior razors. At Henson, we’ve addressed this using our 22+ years of aerospace machining expertise to identify major flaws in mainstream razors, such as unsupported cutting blades, and designed the Henson Double Edge Safety Razor in a way that truly protects your skin.
30° Blade Angle- Hensons single blade razors for men and women are designed with a 30 degree angle when in contact with the skin, this strikes the perfect balance between shaving efficiency and comfort. This helps minimize skin irritation cuts and razor burn, and allows you to shave with confidence.
Blade Rigidity & Free End Length – Rather than a gradual bend across the entire width of the blade, the head of the Henson razor creates a focused bend close to the blade’s edge to maximize the rigidity of the blade.The longer the blade the more flex it has which can result in skin irritation and an inferior shave. Our short free end length supports the blade close to the cutting edge, further reducing any chatter during a shave.
Wide Open Channels – Henson AL13 razor is beginner friendly and easy to clean. Its sleek, open channels let shaving creams and hair rinse effortlessly from the razor’s head, eliminating the need to clear off any clogged hair left from the blade.
Zero Waste Razor – Designed for lifetime use, our single blade razors are durable, cost-efficient, plastic-free & recyclable. By pairing your razor with RK Shaving’s sharp precision blades, a 100-pack of blades can last a regular shaver between 2-3 years. Protecting your skin, the environment and your wallet.
Customers say
Customers praise the razor’s build quality, noting it’s built to last a lifetime with a high-quality aluminum handle, and appreciate its well-engineered design. The razor provides an amazing close shave, and customers find it comfortable, with skin feeling perfectly smooth after use. They find it easy to use and appreciate its precision, with one customer noting it’s more precise than a multi-blade disposable. While customers consider the blades inexpensive, opinions about the overall value are mixed, with some finding it worth the price while others consider it garbage for its cost. The weight receives mixed feedback, with some appreciating its lightweight aluminum construction while others find it too heavy.

Look No Further !!
I’ve been experimenting with a few different types/brands of double-edge safety razors. The last handle I tried was a Feather DE, that has two settings for aggressiveness. I bought the Feather through eBay and I found it a very good handle, well balanced and it worked well with both the Astra and Feather blades I put through it.I asked the seller about what he preferred and was told the Henson AL13 was the hands-down favorite. I gave the Feather handle a week or so, and decided to go ahead and take the plunge and buy the Henson, even though at $80 it seemed a bit on the pricey side. I gave it the first ‘test run’ after showering tonight, and loaded it with the RK blades that were included.Wow !! This handle had perfect balance and just slid down my face with no weight on it, other than its own. Awesome shave, period. I love the open combs on it and they rinse out with no problem at all. This alone would have sold me, but the balance, weight and ease of use by far, exceeded all other handles I’ve tried. The shave was perfectly close with no need to use an after shave balm.I’m sold and by the looks and design of this razor, it will last a long time. It is obviously a razor designed by engineers (like myself) at that carries completely through the product. For the record, I use Van Der Hagen luxury scent shave soap with a Viking Boar’s Bristle brush.Now, I’ll be shelling out a few more $$ to get one for the better half.Don’t hesitate to buy one of these, and the price is well worth it for an excellent shave.

Worth the money – don’t waste your time, money, and face on cheaper ones
I was in the market for a shaver which wouldn’t add much to the landfill and plastics problem. Many shavers today have too many blades and plastic parts which eventually just get thrown away. I liked this one when I saw it online, but it seemed too expensive, so I bought a cheaper one. Using the cheaper one felt like a hacksaw on my face, so I eventually relented and coughed up the money for this one. That was a good move. I tried it right away and I loved how much lighter and more maneuverable it is…and no nicks, burns, abrasions, etc., … and with a single blade! I have used it twice since (once in the shower), and it continues to perform extremely well. It leaves my face smooth without inflicting any pain or discomfort.I really appreciate the engineering effort that went into the blade angle, channels, etc. And I like the way it looks and handles.This is a great product. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money for this razor. You won’t regret it.

A great safety Razor for Getting into Double Edge Razors/Wet Shaving
As a guy closing in on 50, shaving has always been something I’ve taken for granted and never considered spending more time than necessary. Disposable razors and Barbasol foam fit the bill and got the job done. This Hansen Razor was a Father’s day gift from my oldest son, who did the research on razors and “wet shaving”. It has been a quality of life game changer! While I could opine on the Proraso Green shave products in another review (they’re great), the benefits of an Alum block, as well as my experience with various razor blades (Bic Platinum, Shark Stainless and Gillette “no-name” have worked best for me, but YMMV), I’ll stick with just my thoughts on the Hansen Razor.The Hansen Razor, AL-13 Mild, has made the transition to double-edge from disposable razors pretty easy. The longer handle fits your hand similarly to a disposable razor, and the aluminum alloy gives it a similar weight. The real engineering feat with this razor is that it holds any blade at the right angle making it east to engage a close shave, making it very forgiving in allowing you to get a close shave coming from disposable razors. Unlike Cartridge and disposable Razors, Double-Edge razors do not have a pivot head, so shaving requires some practice to getting under the chin, nose, behind the ear etc… I’ve never had any “incidents” shaving, other than a nick or two with blades that weren’t a good fit for me. Over the last few months, my technique has improved.The RK Blades that come with the Hansen Razor, ironically, have been the worst ones, but it seems that the best blade for your skin may vary. If you purchase this razor, I’d suggest getting a DE Razor assortment to see what blades work best for you. With the right blades, the Hansen AL-13 shaves as well, and more gently, than the disposable razors I’ve used through the years. I recently added a Parker 4 piece travel razor which is more “aggressive” to my shave kit (it shaves closer, have had slightly more razor burn using the same razor), and can see where the Hansen is more forgiving while still giving a close shave. I’ll note for this review, there is a Hansen AL-13 Medium razor, and with my experience with the travel razor, I would likely have been as comfortable had the AL-13 medium been purchased instead.Overall, you cannot go wrong with the Hansen AL-13 as your first, or only, double edge razor. It’s made my daily shaving experience on par with the straight edge shaves I used to enjoy when I lived in NYC at a fraction of the price and on a daily basis. Shaving is now something that “I get to do”, rather than something “I have to do”. If you’re looking to get into double edge razors, this Hansen is a great place to start!

It’s a high quality razor and it eliminates razor burn when you use it correctly.
I bought this item for my dad for Father’s Day and I decided to try it for myself to make sure it was good quality. I absolutely loved it and bought a special edition one that you can only get on the company website. It works very well and is very comfortable to use. The blades are very easy to swap out with a new one and with them being so cheap you can swap them out without worry. A hundred of them only cost $10 and that will last you 2 years if you use one a week! I will never go back to a disposable.

Amazing Razor, Terrible Blades
Absolutely amazing razor. Durable, light, great design, easy to take apart, perfect cut, havenât cut myself once. This platform is the real deal and I suspect it will last me a lifetime. HOWEVER, I cannot bring myself to give this product a 5 star rating because the blades it came with were so horribly terrible. Giving this razor anything but a 5 star is unfathomable when u put a real razor in, but the made in India razors it came with are so terrible and dull, it doesnât even make sense how they could be that bad. Itâs a tragedy cuz the actual unit is a 10/10. Henson, take a little loss in margins and throw a pack of Astraâs in, and this review is 6 stars. Just disappointing. But nonetheless they knocked it out of the park with the 13.

The best ever. After trying it, I highly recommend it. The best of all, without exaggeration.

Eccellente, molto meglio di quanto credessi.Ero abituato a un Mach 3 di cui ero soddisfatto, a parte il prezzo delle lame e il loto impatto sull’ambiente. In passato avevo provato altri rasoi a lametta, ma il risultato era sempre un bagno di sangue e, dopo qualche tentativo, per la disperazione tornavo sempre al trilama.Ho una barba non particolarmente dura e pelle delicata, quindi ho preso un Henson AL13 (la versione standard, più delicata) e la rasatura è stata perfetta fin dal primo tentativo, niente tagli, niente irritazioni, pelle perfettamente liscia come col trilama.Chi ha la barba più dura forse potrebbe preferire la versione media, ma sono abbastanza convinto che riuscirebbe a radersi benone anche con questa.Poi ho fatto l’esperimento di lasciar crescere la barba per tre giorni, e anche in questo caso il risultato è stato del tutto simile al trilama.Il rasoio arriva con un pacchetto di 5 lamette.Henson consiglia di usare quelle che forniscono loro, marca RK, quindi ne ho ordinate una scatola da 100 e le ho pagate 14 Euro.Con la stessa cifra, compravo sì e no 5 lamette del trilama. Il rasoio in sé è più caro, ma è di alluminio (c’è anche una versione di lusso in titanio), quindi è eterno e si ripaga in 6-10 mesi alla grande.Già dopo il primo esperimento ho ordinato un secondo Henson da tenere nel kit da visggio e ho gettato nella spazzatura il vecchio rasoio senza rimpianti.Insomma, vi suggerisco caldamente di comprarlo, non ha senso continuare a sprecare soldi e a inquinare il mondo con i multilama.Spedizione perfetta sotto tutti i punti di vista.

Llevaba tiempo queriéndome pasar a una maquinilla de seguridad, tengo la piel delicada y la barba espesa, una combinación que hace que hasta los cartuchos desechables más caros y de marca de sobra conocidas me provocases irritación.La ventaja de la maquinilla de seguridad es que tienes una sola cuchilla, afiladÃsima, se desliza mucho mejor por la cara, con lo que de muchas menos pasadas y sin ejercer apenas presión, te deja la piel como la de un bebé.No todas las maquinillas de seguridad son iguales, hay modelos para todo tipo de preferencias y los fabrican de toda clase de materiales: latón, acero inoxidable, aluminio y hasta titanio. Cada una de ellas “abraza” a la cuchilla de forma distinta y hace que sea más o menos agresiva.Tras investigar un poco, me decidà por esta Henson de aluminio, lo de “modelo de entrada” no es una traducción demasiado afortunada, todos los modelos tienen los mismos acabados y calidad (absolutamente espectacular), la diferencia es que este es el modelo “suave” (mild), el que deja la cuchilla menos expuesta y, por lo tanto, hace que se mueva menos, lo que da un afeitado más suave, si bien, en teorÃa, no tan apurado en las primeras pasadas, pero no tiene porque ser asÃ, y menos si no te dejas crecer la barba muchos dÃas entre cada afeitado. Para quienes quieran una maquinilla un poco más “agresiva”, tienen el modelo “medium”, en lugar de este, que el “mild”.Es una maquinilla ideal para principiantes porque está diseñada de forma que la propia estructura de la maquinilla te da el ángulo perfecto para afeitarte, y fuera de ese margen, la maquinilla no corta.Como he dicho, para mà que tengo la piel delicada, ha sido como la noche y el dÃa, ahora me afeito sin miedo a irritaciones fuertes, y el apurado es increÃble.No todo son ventajas, claro, el nombre de estas maquinillas es engañoso, son “de seguridad” comparadas con las navajas barberas clásicas, pero cortar, cortan, y mucho si no tienes cuidado, hay que ir más despacio que con los cartuchos y el ángulo lo tienes que poner tú, no tiene amortiguadores, ni bisagras ni las pijadas de los cartuchos “premium”, tienes que convertir el afeitado en un ritual, y hacerlo despacio y con buena letra, en seguida le coges el truco y no hay tanta diferencia de tiempo. Mi siguiente paso será comprarme una brocha y jabón de afeitar de verdad.Lo ideal es darse una primera pasada a favor del pelo, y luego volver a enjabonarte y dar otra a contrapelo para un apurado perfecto. Si vas con bulla y quieres darte una sol pasada, deberÃa ser de sobra para el dÃa a dÃa, no te va a dejar el efecto “piel de bebé” en la cara, pero es un apurado de sobra para la mayorÃa de entornos de trabajo o ambientes a los que se vaya.Lo único que no me ha gustado son las cuchillas que trae de regalo, no está mal del todo, pero me gustan mucho más las Astra, otro nivel, y valen dos duros. Que, por cierto, es la otra ventaja de afeitarte con esto, olvÃdate de los carÃsimos cartuchos ultrapower meganosequé, aquà se usan las cuchillas de doble filo de toda la vida, que valen unos pocos céntimos la unidad, cunden fácil para hasta 4-5 afeitados, pero vaya, por el precio, como si te quieres afeitar con una hoja nueva cada vez, vas a ahorrar un montón de pasta.

I never used a single blade razer before and was disappointed with the result initially due to the supplied blades that come with the razer.After purchasing a different brand of blades the result was significantly better. However on the curves of the chin and neck it is not as close a shave versus cartridge shavers.

It has a superb hold on the blade. The design allows you to easily clean the shavings out while using it. The grip texture comfortable and works in wet conditions.
