Precision Without Compromise.
The Henson AL13-Aggressive is a precision instrument built for a specific purpose: mowing down thick, dense stubble in a single pass. Weighing a nimble 1.3oz (37g), it offers the efficiency of a straight razor with the geometry of a safety razor.
This razor is manufactured in the same Canadian facility that produces components for the Mars Rover and Low Earth Orbit Satellites.
While competitors allow for "wiggle room" in their casting, Henson requires tolerances of 0.0005 inches (five ten-thousandths of an inch). This obsession with precision eliminates "Blade Chatter"βthe vibration that causes razor burn. Even at this highly aggressive setting, the blade is clamped rigid, ensuring a clean cut without the drama.
| Feature | AL13 Mild (+) | AL13 Medium (++) | AL13 Aggressive (+++) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blade Exposure | Minimal | Moderate | High |
| Best For | Daily Shaving | 3-Day Stubble | 1-Week Growth / Coarse Hair |
| Skill Required | Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced Technique |
| Blade Feel | None | Noticeable | Prominent |
If you use pressure, yes. The Aggressive model requires a light touch. Let the weight of the razor do the work. If you press down like a cartridge razor, you will likely get nicked.
Only for experienced head shavers. The scalp is sensitive and vascular. We highly recommend the AL13 Mild for head shaving unless you are a veteran wet shaver.
Since the razor is aggressive, we recommend starting with a smoother blade (like RK or Astra Green) rather than a super-sharp blade (like Feather) until you adjust to the exposure.
