A straight razor quality shave, yet safer than a multi-blade razor - the best of both.
Perfectly Positioned
The Henson is designed to present the blade at the optimum shaving angle, with as little blade exposure as possible.
A Superior Cut
Skin irritation is totally avoidable. Rather than cutting beneath the skin, the Henson AL13 shears the hair precisely at skin level.
Key Features
It is all about consistency. The Henson AL13 gets manufactured in a state of the art aerospace manufacturing facility, to ensure the lowest possible tolerances. This ensures that the blade is presented exactly the same with every shave.
The quality of a shave is determined by how the blade is presented onto the skin. The optimal 30 degree angle and small blade exposure, with a generous blade gap, results in the blade gliding over the skin and cutting hair at exactly skin level.
Multi-blade razors are notorious for clogging. The Henson AL13 features cleverly designed exit channels, so a quick swish in water or rinse under the tap clears shaving cream and hair.
These high quality stainless steel blades were developed specifically for the Henson AL13 to match its precision and extremely low tolerances, resulting in an even better and more comfortable shave.
Say No To Plastic
Environmentally Friendly
An all aluminium design and a small piece of clever tungsten insert ensure a lifetime of use. Stainless steel blades are fully recyclable, so you can do your part to help minimise unrecyclable materials.

Buyer Questions
Wet Shaving FAQs
Helpful answers for South African shoppers comparing Henson razors, safety razor blades and traditional wet shaving products.
Why choose a safety razor instead of a cartridge razor?
A safety razor uses one sharp blade instead of multiple cartridge blades. That can reduce tugging, limit irritation and lower long-term blade costs when paired with good technique.
Are Henson razors good for sensitive skin?
Henson razors are a strong option for sensitive skin because the head design helps hold a steady shaving angle and keeps blade exposure controlled.
What blades fit Henson razors?
Henson razors use standard double edge safety razor blades, including Henson RK blades and other compatible double edge blades.
Is wet shaving cheaper in the long run?
Yes for many people. The razor is an upfront investment, but replacement double edge blades usually cost far less than cartridge razor refills over time.
