Shaving Hardware Comparison Guide

  • The Henson Aerospace Advantage (AL13 & Ti22): Unlike cast zinc razors, the Henson is CNC-machined in Ontario, Canada to AS9100 aerospace tolerances, locking the blade at a fixed 30-degree shaving angle with near-zero blade exposure (0.033mm on Mild / 0.068mm on Medium). This eliminates blade chatter and razor burn for sensitive skin and body shaving.
  • Compared to Rockwell 6S / 6C: The Henson AL13 is ultra-lightweight (~37g aluminum vs. ~118g stainless steel on the Rockwell 6S) with zero moving settingsβ€”prioritizing effortless, foolproof angle control over adjustable plate customization.
  • Assembly Check: Always ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade when screwing the handle on (if installed upside down, the blade edge won't meet the hair).
β›” STOP: Expert Level Only This is the AL13-Aggressive (+++). It features significant positive blade exposure.

If you are new to wet shaving, have sensitive skin, or shave daily, DO NOT BUY THIS RAZOR. It is designed exclusively for experienced users with very coarse hair or multi-day growth.

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.

πŸš€ Aerospace DNA

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"β€”the vibration that causes razor burn. Even at this highly aggressive setting, the blade is clamped rigid, ensuring a clean cut without the drama.

Why Invest in Aerospace Aluminum?

  • Don't Spend, Invest: Stop renting your shave from subscription clubs. This razor is engineered to last a lifetime.
  • Cost Savings: Uses standard double-edge blades that cost roughly $0.15 each. The average user saves the cost of the razor within the first year of ownership.
  • Environmental Impact: Over 2 Billion plastic cartridges hit landfills annually. This razor is 100% plastic-free and fully recyclable.
πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Blade Selection Matters
Because this razor is highly aggressive, we recommend pairing it with a smooth, forgiving blade. Add the 100-Pack of RK Stainless Blades to your cart for optimal performance.

Expert FAQ

Will I cut myself?

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.

Is this good for head shaving?

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.

What blades should I use?

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.

Helpful Hardware Tips: (1) On Henson razors, ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade during assembly so the blade edge engages properly; (2) On DOVO carbon-steel straight razors, blot the blade dry after every shave and store outside steamy bathrooms to prevent oxidation.

Why is the Henson AL13 safety razor better for sensitive skin and preventing razor burn?+

The Henson AL13 is precision-milled from aerospace-grade aluminum to hold the blade at an exact 30-degree angle with minimal blade exposure. This eliminates blade chatter and cuts hair cleanly at the skin level, drastically reducing razor burn and ingrown hairs.

Will the Henson razor rust or degrade over time?+

No. Henson razors are manufactured using aerospace-grade aluminum and tungsten, making them completely rust-proof, incredibly durable, and lightweight. It is engineered as a permanent, zero-waste replacement for disposable plastic razors.

Do I need to buy special replacement blades for the Henson safety razor?+

Not at all. The Henson razor accepts any standard double-edge safety razor blade. While we highly recommend pairing it with premium Astra or RK stainless steel blades for optimal performance, the universal design offers ultimate flexibility and cost savings.
