I had a V1 for a few years that was excellent and very comfortable. Unfortunately I dropped it and dented the corner (the V1 had square corners) which affected the way the blade sat so only.one side shaved properly. I decided to upgrade to the newer version.
The V2 looks more robust, has great looking, rounded corners, and the handle.is far easier to grip with the rougher knurling (another improvement on the V1). I've had one shave, using a Feather blade and it was the best shave I've ever had. Very happy.
Great Rasor, wish I’d bought one year’s ago
Brilliant shaver. Perfect for sensitive skin
If you've ever used a plane or a spokeshave to work with wood, you'll appreciate the pleasure of using a well crafted tool designed for a specific job.
The Henson AL13-M is one of those tools.
This razor is very lightweight and complimented by the superb grip of the handle, you only need to use a thumb and two fingers to wield it.
In use it presents a flat surface with the blade at just the right angle for the shave. Not dissimilar to the aforementioned wood plane.
It comes with a pack of 'RK' blades although I have chosen to use the Japanese manufactured 'Feather' blades which have proven to be an excellent combination.
If you are new to safety razors or wish to upgrade I would highly recommend giving the Henson a try.
Before the Henson AL13 V2 I'd only ever used cartridge razors. Over the years, the quality of cartridge razors has continued to go down, while the price has gone up. I was fed up with cartridge razors, and looking for something better. I bought the Henson, and have had multiple shaves with it. Really easy to use, a clean shave, and--this surprised me--I'm actually looking forward to having my next shave. I'm in my forties and that has never happened before!
