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.

Update - RK Blades Terrible

Just thought I would do an update. I tried one of the free RK blades today, terrible. You will not appreciate how good this razor is with these blades. If you are new to DE shaving DO GET Astra blades. My previous review was with my usual Astra blades, superb and a completly different shave with these blades. Have yet to try my Feather blades but expecting great results with those too. Male Grooming Supplies, why are you promoting such a poor blade with such a great shaver. If its Henson doing this, tell them. At the very least throw in a pack of Astras for anyone new to shaving. This review is here to help you. Its a BRILLIANT shave, with the right blade.

Great shave, great service

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

Ordering good, customer service poor

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.

Excellent Products. Excellent Company

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.

The best that this man ever got

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.

Find the razor drags a bit with the RK blade, may be I haven't found the correct angle yet. Definitely not as aggressive as I expected, think my Merkur 34C is more aggressive.

A really great shave

Super easy to use, ideal for new DE razor users, great quality, SO much better than multi blade cartridge razors, and much more economical. Highly recommended.

Just been converted

Seen the Henson AL13 reviewed quite a few times on YouTube and I thought I'd give it a try.Ive been shaving with a Rockwell T2 which is a excellent razor,but the AL13 is in a different league,lightweight easy to use,not got to worry about finding the correct angle to shave,the Henson does it for you,basically if you don't get the angle right,it won't shave...
Must add, first class service from Male grooming,Thank-you....

AL13 v 2

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.

Fantastic products

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.

Great introduction to safety razors

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.

Very safe and smooth razor. It's a bit light, but I personally don't mind that. Would definitely recommend for newbies to wet shaving, but also those more experienced want something trouble-free.

Worth the hype

The AL13 is a very well reviewed and popular razor and I have to say it really is worth all the fuss. It came well packaged and looks amazing and having tried it a few times already I can confirm it’s as good as the reviews.
I was concerned about nicks with this type of razor especially moving from cartridge type but I needed not to worry it worked really well. Might even try the mild version for my head.
Malegrooming supplies excellent value and great delivery.

Great service great product

The A13 mild is easy to use but takes some practice to get the right angle. After a few shaves it gets really easy.
Achieved bbs after 3 passes, perfect for daily shaving or a transition from cartridge razors as very beginner friendly.

Placed order and it arrived next day, perfect.

Great Razor. Very easy to use.

Delivery was next day which was amazing. The razor itself is very safe proof. I ordered the medium and it is perfect. Brilliant build quality. Thought i wouldn’t like how light it is, but have no problem with it whatsoever.
