Service & Delivery
The Henson AL13 Safety Razor V2.0 in Jet Black brings together considered design and aerospace-level precision. The anodised black finish offers a clean, modern look suited to those who prefer understated grooming tools.
This Henson razor is manufactured in Canada from aircraft-grade aluminium, CNC-machined to tolerances of +/- 0.00025 inches. This ensures consistent blade alignment, allowing the razor to guide itself to the correct shaving angle without constant adjustment.
The head design supports the blade close to the cutting edge, reducing flex and chatter. The result is a controlled, predictable shave.
At just 37g, the Henson AL13 is lighter than most traditional double edge safety razors. This encourages a lighter touch and lets the blade do the work rather than relying on pressure.
Mild Or Medium: Which To Choose
Mild (0.68 mm): Best for those new to safety razors, daily shavers with lighter growth, or anyone with sensitive skin. Offers a gentler introduction with minimal blade exposure.
Medium (0.85 mm): The recommended choice for most users. Suited to regular to coarse beard growth and provides efficient, comfortable shaving. If unsure, start here.
Both deliver a close shave. The difference lies in blade exposure and efficiency.

Having just got back into wet shaving, I thought I would try the T3 Trafalgar & Henson AL13++. I've just used both of them and they are fantastic. The T3 is great for lathering and no need to pre soak. The Henson is just something else. If you are new to wet shaving, go for this, I didn’t have any nicks but a really close shave (3 passes). Don’t be put off as it is very lightweight, the blade will do the work and you will learn how much pressure you need to apply after a couple of uses. Using these going forward will be an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended, both of them.
An excellent razor.
Well worth the purchase, buying another for second home.
The mild version of the Henson safety razor is a great introduction to safety razors. Finding the angle to shave is easy, and the low blade exposure means a low chance of razor burn. Would recommend.
This is a great razor , very well made and food to to use.
