Henson Shaving razors are a fresh new interpretation of a classic razor manufactured with extreme precision that makes all the difference. With a blade that only sticks out roughly half the thickness of a human hair, this razor eliminates all the unnecessary blade extension resulting in minimal blade flex and therefore less chatter along your skin. And chatter is what causes razor burn and irritation.

The manufacturing process, inherited from aerospace technology over the past 20 years, places Henson at the forefront of modern razors. It eliminates shaving irritation and cuts, providing a comfortable and smooth feel for your skin. This razor offers a completely new shaving experience unlike any other, leaving your skin feeling amazing.

The Henson razor has large exit channels for hair to flow out after it’s cut, preventing clogging or interference with the cutting action of the blade. Simply rinse the razor in water to quickly remove hair and shaving creams.

The Mild Razor would be especially recommended for individuals with sensitive skin who frequently experience skin irritation or ingrown hair. If you have light beard growth or prefer head shaving or women's shaving areas beyond the face, the mild option is ideal.

The Medium Razor features slightly increased blade exposure and a wider blade gap compared to the standard Henson AL13 (mild). This design enables the medium razor to effectively manage thicker and longer hair, though it may require additional attention when shaving more sensitive areas. If you have medium beard growth, the medium option is ideal.

The Aggressive Razor is ideal for individuals with heavy beard growth and coarse hair.

Love it after giving it a second chance.

I’m not sure if I reviewed this earlier saying it was so-so. After learning how to use it properly by watching a few videos and listening to people. I gave it a second chance. It is now my favorite razor. Now that I shave properly, less aggressive, I was pressing too hard didn’t have the right angle. It is the best shave I have ever had.

Pleasantly surprised

Took a chance on this after they were the sponsor for the Why Files. Couldn't get the discount code to work for the free blades but bought it anyway. Used it for the first time today after almost not having shaved for at least a week. Was very pleasantly surprised at how well it performed compared to other brands with multiple blades that tend to irritate my skin. Quck short strokes and constant rinsing is key. Very satisfied.
