Service & Delivery
The Henson AL13 Tan brings together considered design and aerospace-level precision. The warm, earthy tone of the anodised finish offers a distinctive alternative to traditional silver or black razors, suited to those who appreciate subtle colour in their grooming tools.
This Henson safety 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.

Henson AL13 Tan FAQs
Should I choose Henson AL13 Mild or Medium?
Choose Mild if you are new to safety razors, shave daily or prefer a gentler feel. Choose Medium if you have regular to coarse growth or want a little more efficiency while keeping the AL13 design.
What blades does the Henson AL13 Tan use?
The Henson AL13 Tan uses standard double edge safety razor blades. It is supplied with five blades, and you can also pair it with Henson RK blades or other double edge blades.
How heavy is the Henson AL13?
The AL13 weighs around 37g, so it is lighter than many traditional metal safety razors. Let the razor angle and blade do the work rather than adding pressure.
Is the Henson AL13 Tan suitable for sensitive skin?
Many shavers choose the AL13 because its fixed geometry helps keep the shaving angle controlled. Use a light touch, fresh blade and good shaving cream or soap if your skin is easily irritated.

Great shave, great service. This Henson medium is a lovely razor and easy to get used to its design. Only downside is it doesn’t stand up, but that’s not going to take away from how good it is or the helpful conversation I had with the customer support team
Been wanting to move away from disposable razors for use on my head and was recommended the AL13. It’s epic…
I initially ordered the AL13 Mild. I found that it possibly wasn’t the best choice. I messaged Male Grooming Supplies for advice. Regrettably, they failed to respond to me. I ended up buying the AL13 Medium from MGS. As far as the purchases are concerned, the service has been first class. The items arrived, well packaged, the next day. Unfortunately, customer service was very poor when I made contact.
Hi David,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry that we did not respond to your enquiry sooner. Unfortunately, your message was overlooked in our inbox and we only picked it up today.
We have now replied regarding the Henson Mild and Medium versions, although we appreciate this came too late as you had already ordered the Medium.
We are pleased that both orders arrived quickly and that you were otherwise happy with the service. Apologies again for the delayed response.

The customer care is second to none. I had a question after I placed an order and before it had been sent. The response was so quick and extremely helpful. Items were well packaged. Speedy delivery. Can’t fault the products. Thankyou Male Grooming Supplies.
Having spent 55ish years using heavy, stainless steel razors from a variety of manufacturers, I was a little apprehensive forking out so much for an Aluminium alloy product. My fears were totally unfounded. This has been an epic experience, five shaves in five days with ZERO nicks or cuts. That, for me, is a novel situation - never happened before with a new (to me) razor, especially for my tough beard/sensitive skin combination.
The quality of the shave is truly BBS (baby bottom smooth), which lady-wife appreciates.
It's going to take a while longer to become accustomed to the lightweight hefty, but I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
The delivery was nice and quick, so no hanging around with a face full of stubble.
Would I recommend this razor? Yes, in a heartbeat. The same goes for the vendor. I am a happy bunny all around.
