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!
Very easy to use . Extremely well made.
The Quality of this razor is Absolutely Exceptional, I don’t however like the blades provided but maybe that’s a personal preference, I can’t honestly give a review on the shave itself as I’m still getting used to it but yes it does give a comfortable shave itself but I’m still getting used to how light the razor is and the angle but I’m sure that will come with a few more shaves …..
