Description

Henson created the AL13 to give you a whole new shaving experience, unlike any other safety razor. Your skin will feel comfortable and smooth.

The Aggressive version has a larger blade exposure and bigger blade gap than the Mild/Medium AL13. This allows for a close and very efficient shave, yet it doesn't feel aggressive.

We think it's best for :

  • Normal Skin
  • Thicker or Coarse Beards
  • Shaves very efficiently, yet it is gentle and more comfortable than most safety razors

  • For sensitive skin, the Mild or Medium AL13 might be a better option as they expose less of the blade edge

  • All Henson safety razors are compatible with any standard double-edge (DE) razor blade
    Our blade suggestion is to try a wider range from mild to sharp blades like Gillette Wilkinson, Astra SP, Timor, Gillette Silver Blue, 7 o'clock Super Platinum, Gillette Nacet, Gillette Platinum, ...


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.

Henson Safety Razor - Aggresive Grey

This is easily the best safety razor I have used to date. It is lighter in the hand than other razors, but gives an accurate (able to get in tight under the nose) and close shave.
I am using it with Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum Blades, Proraso White PreShave Cream and Proraso White Shaving Soap.

Henson just took perfection a step further

Have been a regular user of the Henson AL13 v1 in Medium trim, and have absolutely loved shaving with it. The consistent clean shaves and ease of use are something that just cannot be replicated by any other.

With the Aggressive trim they have provided something that seasoned shavers have been wanting. A closer aggressive shave without having to jump and get a Titanium edition.

Easy to use as ever, with the new v2 design making it look neater and a timeless beauty in itself.

About Henson Shaving

At Henson, we’ve been making parts for large aerospace projects for 20 years. When you’re making parts that end up in space, you’re making them with longevity in mind. We made critical components for the OneWeb constellation and parts for the Exo Mars rover. Needless to say those parts can’t come back to the shop for repairs, they have to work and they have to work for decades. Manufacturing parts designed to last a lifetime is part of our DNA.

Through a few happenstances, we turned our attention to razors. One thing quickly became evident: many of the products were more focused on selling blades than supporting them. Imagine skating on blades that were wiggling around, or trying to cut carrots with a knife blade that bent and flexed. You could get the job done, but without the accuracy you would prefer to be safe. So we set about designing a razor with this in mind.

The end result is the AL13 razor. Made of Aluminum (which, yes, is the 13th element on the periodic table), we machine this razor to very tight tolerances in an effort to control both the blade extension and exposure. By minimizing these geometries we believe the additional blade support greatly reduces flex and chatter and thereby irritation.

Since our focus was on blade support, and not the blade itself, we designed our razor to work with standard DE (double edge). These blades typically cost 10-15 cents each. And since they are not unique to our razor, you don’t need to buy them from us.

So in setting out to make a quality product that lasts, and focusing on proper function we actually landed on a fairly poor business model. That model being, you buy a razor only once and you do not have to buy any blades from us at all. Most of the innovation in the shaving industry over the last decade has more to do with business models (subscriptions, direct-to-consumer offerings, etc) than function. And hey, that’s ok too. Many of those companies have built tremendous businesses. It just wasn’t part of our DNA.
