About Henson Razors
Why Choose a Henson Safety Razor
Henson machines the razor head to support the blade close to its cutting edge. This helps keep the shaving angle consistent and limits blade flex. Compare the wider double edge safety razor range if you want to weigh Henson against other handle weights, head designs and levels of blade feel.
Henson AL13 or Ti22
The Henson AL13 is machined from aircraft-grade aluminium for a light, controlled feel. The Henson Ti22 uses titanium for a more substantial feel while retaining the same guided shaving approach. Choose according to your preferred weight and material; both use Henson’s close-tolerance head geometry.
Mild, Medium or Aggressive
Mild suits beginners, sensitive skin and shavers who prefer low blade feel. Medium is the versatile everyday choice for many users. Aggressive increases blade feel and is better suited to experienced shavers, coarser growth or fewer passes. Technique and blade choice still affect the result, so use light pressure whichever version you choose.
Blades and Henson Accessories
Henson razors accept standard double edge blades. Blade preference changes the feel of any safety razor, so compare brands rather than assuming one blade will suit everyone. Complete the setup with the Henson Razor Stand, Razor Head Cover or Henson Razor Case. The Henson AL13 Shaving Box Set bundles a razor, stand and blades in one set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Henson razor should I choose?
Choose an AL13 Mild for the lowest blade feel and an easy starting point, Medium for a more versatile everyday shave, or Aggressive if you are experienced and want more blade feel. Choose the Ti22 when you prefer the weight and finish of titanium.
Which blades fit Henson razors?
Henson razors take standard double edge razor blades. The best blade is personal, so compare options in our double edge blade collection and try a different brand if your first blade feels too mild or too sharp.
Is a Henson razor suitable for beginners?
Yes. The Mild AL13 is the clearest starting point for beginners because it has low blade feel. Use short strokes, light pressure and a well-lathered shaving cream or soap; do not press as you would with a cartridge razor.
Which accessories fit Henson AL13 and Ti22 razors?
The Henson Razor Stand and Razor Head Cover are designed for AL13 and Ti22 razors. The Henson Razor Case provides another option for storage and travel.
