The Henson AL13 Safety Razor V2.0 in Steel Blue brings together considered design and aerospace-level precision. The anodised blue finish offers a refined alternative to traditional chrome or black razors, suited to those who appreciate understated detail in their 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. Now available in the UK with worldwide shipping.
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.

Only 2 shaves in but I think I have it dialled... No pressure, let the razor do the work, short strokes => smooth as anything with no nicks or bleeds.
The razor itself is nicely machined aluminium, grippy and comfortable to hold.
Far better imo than a multi-blade, my old 1960's Gillette Adjustable, or my more recent goto Edwyn Jagger, although the latter remains excellent for its' price.

Amazing Razor, my first Saftey Razor and it is extremely easy to use. The medium aggression is perfect for me. Paired with the feather blades, as close to a BBS shave as I have got so far!
Great razor and fast delivery
Very well made razor and is a joy to use, Razor is very safe to use as unless you get the correct blade angle it will not cut. Highly recommended for anyone just getting into wet shaving. It may seem a expensive razor to start with but it is a quality razor and will last you a lifetime
Superb quality and engineering that also provides a fantastic shave. I use with Feather or BIC Platinum blades and am very happy with the results and minimal irritation.
