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.

I'm usually used to using a heavy shaver for my daily shave. I thought about trying the Henson AL 13 v2 as I quite fancied a change. I was very surprised to find this shaver is very accurate to use almost surgical like. I quite fancy now perhaps trying to buy a Henson ti22 which is the titanium version. I most certainly recommend this company and this shaver highly. I will be using male grooming supplies again in future.
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.
