Collection: Merkur Solingen

Ever since I started shaving nearly 30 years ago, I've been plagued by sensitivity, particularly around the neck. Switching to DE razors around 15 years ago helped, this razor was the missing piece of the puzzle. Using this razor, AL-13, MediumI (++) I can do three passes on my neck with almost no irritation at all.

I have no other razors that are made as well as this. Anyone with an engineering penchant will appreciate the precision with which this razor is made. Expensive, yes. Worth every penny, also yes.

There's not a lot that could improve the razor itself. If I were to make a suggestion to Henson, it would be to be able to buy additional heads. I'd like to be able to add the aggressive head (+++), without having to buy a whole additional razor. I would also like to be able to buy a shorter handle in addition to the standard one.

If you're on the fence, I really don't think you'll regret this purchase.

Well worth it , quality leather and well made

The best razor I have ever held in my hand. Balance, weight, design, level of aggressiveness; it’s everything in a razor anyone needs for their daily shave.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the smoothness and thoroughness of this razor. I had hoped for a viable alternative to all this plastic based razors and so pleased I’ve found it!

I don't know why I didn't buy a real razor earlier. I shave a lot. When the Henson arrived I was struck by its high quality finish. Everything is tight and thought through well. The shave is sublime, smooth and easy and much closer than the usual plastic razors. My shave last much longer and it's a real pleasure to use.

I wanted a milder shave than my existing razor and this ticks all the boxes. It's very light and easy to manoeuvre and, so far, has resulted in no nicks. I'm using Feather blades. It takes a little longer and more passes than the Merkur Futur but worth it to avoid the cuts. I'm hoping that the aluminium will mean it stays corrosion free, unlike the Merkur

Speedy delivery. Product as described on the website.

I’m an experienced DE shaver with several razors but wanted to give a SE a try and I had read about the Parker. The Parker came with one preloaded blade and my first shave was very poor leaving lots of stubble behind. Apparently this is a common problem as the pre installed blade is rubbish and the advice to throw that blade and install a new one. I ordered some Schick blades and injected one into the Parker and this gave an almost BBS shave with minimal irritation. Anyone used to a cartridge razor will quickly be able to adapt to this as the learning curve using a DE is steeper.
I can’t comment on the longevity of these blades yet- they are significantly more expensive than the DE blades which last me about 5 shaves.

Customer service is exceptional, ordered 4.50 pm and received next day at 12.30. Amazing.
The Henson Mild razor is fantastic. So easy to get the cutting angle right. Very good for sensitive skin. Razor is lightweight. Well built. Would have no hesitation in recommending this razor.
Thanks Male Grooming for suberb customer service.

Great customer service, followed up by a great product. Recommend this company.

Very good razor.

Good value for money and good quality

Good blades, very sharp and only a small amount of irritation, but very smooth and very good quality, highly recommend
