The Henson AL13 puts an end to shaving irritation and cuts, while also making your skin feel comfortable and smooth. Henson created this razor to give you a whole new shaving experience, unlike any other safety razor.

The MILD version has slightly less blade exposure and a smaller blade gap than most other safety razors. This allows for a very mild and smooth shave, even with sensitive skin.

We think it's best for :

  • Sensitive to Normal Skin
  • Lighter beard growth with finer hairs
  • Trimming Beard Line
  • Body Shaving
  • Smooth & comfortable shave with little blade feel

  • For 'Very Sensitive Skin' it's best to use some pre-shave products to have that extra layer of protection
    (pre-shave oil hydrates the skin & protects it from cuts, while pre-shave cream softens the beard)
  • Thicker Beards or shaving every few days requires a few extra strokes with the Mild AL13,
    the Medium or Aggressive version might be a better option if you like a close shave or have a coarse beard

  • All Henson safety razors are compatible with any standard double-edge (DE) razor blade
    Our suggestion for the Henson Mild is a sharper blade like Gillette Nacet, Gillette Platinum, Feather, Kai, Dovo, ...


Designed and manufactured with extreme precision in mind. Henson has applied aerospace processes to achieve remarkable low tolerances on critical dimensions through the machining and anodizing process.

The blade support creates the most accurate blade exposure on the market, which means you can be ensured that each razor holds the blade at the correct angle and gap to give you the perfect shave.

Manufactured in the same facility that produces components for the Mars Rover and the International Space Station, this razor is durable and should last for many years of worry-free shaves.

What this means for you is a noticeably better shave that just feels different. It truly is one of a kind.

About Henson: A Function First Approach To Shaving. These days, it feels like many product design choices (especially around shaving) are made from a profit-first position. However, at Henson, every aspect of our design was chosen because we felt it was the best for the function of shaving. Not for profit. We then leveraged our 20+ years of aerospace machining experience to make it.

A smooth shave with no irritation

This razor is beautifully engineered and each part fits together perfectly. The knurling on the handle is simple and low-key but effective. The razor hasn’t slipped in my hand even once. I really like the huge rinsing slots. It’s a VERY light weight razor and, with heavy razors such as the Pearl Flexi and the Supply Pro in my collection, I did wonder if I’d find it too light. My fears were unfounded and it is really easy to hold and manoeuvre. The mild blade exposure gives a very comfortable shave, yet is effective. Two passes produces excellent results without any irritation whatsoever. I’ve used it with the included RK blades, Astra Greens, The Gentleman Super Platinum Max, and Gillette Silver Blues - all gave similarly good results. It’s more expensive than most safety razors but the quality and results justify the price and I heartily recommend this razor. In my photos the razor appears blue but that is due to the light - I have the black model and I’m very pleased with the colour and the quality of the finish.

Good present

Bought as a present for my Dad and he said it it did a good job, probably a matter of getting used to a different style of shaving. Blades were a bit dull apparently hence 4 instead of 5 stars.
