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.
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!
Wow what can I say its one of the best experiences with Male grooming Supplies customer services!!!
Ordered my firs Razor Henson AL13 Mild with extra Muhle shaving brush stand.
Super fast response and even more super fast shipping!!!
Arrived next day
Definitely comeback to shop from here
Big thanks
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
