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 settings—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).
⚠️ Skill Level: Intermediate / Advanced This is the AL13-M (Medium) model. It has increased blade exposure for cutting coarse hair.

The Henson AL13-M (Medium) in Aircraft Aluminum is the purest expression of aerospace engineering. Designed specifically for those with thick growth or those who prefer to shave every 3-4 days, it features an increased blade gap of +0.002". This provides the efficiency needed to clear dense stubble in a single pass without the clogging associated with cartridge razors.

Henson Medium FAQ

Will this razor cut me?

Because this is the Medium version, it requires more attention. If you apply downward pressure (like a plastic razor), you will get nicked. If you use a light touch, the increased blade exposure provides the closest shave of your life.

Can I use this for head shaving?

We generally recommend the AL13 Mild for the scalp, as skin is thinner there. Use the Medium for head shaving only if you are an experienced safety razor user.

Is this finish rust-proof?

Yes. High-grade 6061 aircraft aluminum is naturally resistant to corrosion. Simply rinse and let it air dry in a proper stand.

How does Free Global Shipping over $75 CAD work, and do you ship to the USA, Europe, Nordics, and worldwide?+

Yes! All orders dispatch from our Canadian warehouse in Chestermere, Alberta.

Standard shipping is tracked wherever available through destination postal/courier networks, and ships via reliable International Air Mail where tracked service is not available.

What is your return policy, 12-hour cancellation window, and 24-hour transit damage protocol?+

Orders operate on a strict 12-hour cancellation window from the time of purchase before locking for warehouse fulfillment. Unused, unwashed, factory-sealed items in their original packaging may be returned within 30 days of delivery via an authorized RMA (subject to a 10% inspection/restocking fee; original and return shipping costs are non-refundable).

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.
