The Henson Shaving AL13 medium safety razor is made from aerospace-grade aluminum provides a wider blade gap than the Al13 mild razor for those who desire slightly more aggressive blade or who prefer to wet shave with a medium blade gap exposure and medium aggression perfect with those with coarser hair.

The Henson brand name honors William Henson the man who patented the T-shaped (or hoe-shaped) the first de razor in 1847. Fabricated using AS9100 aerospace standards the same aerospace processes used to create low earth orbit satellites, the Mars Rover, and the International Space station. The accurate blade exposure combined with the innovative head design and higher aggression blade gap is what makes the Henson Al13 razor an excellent razor and a shaving experience unlike other de safety razors, consistently offering a close shave, every time.

Henson shaving out of Ontario Canada went back to the drawing board to redefine the wet shaving experience, reimagining the relationship between the razor head and the blade support. The blade support creates a DE razor that simultaneously is aggressive in nature but at the same time a truly comfortable shave. Ideal for any grown man, woman, or beginner to wet shaving that is looking for performance out of the box without suffering from the side effects of DE razors shaving.

The Henson aluminum razor Al13 medium razor feels nimble is lightweight weighing only 37 grams yet in control with the unique staggered diamond pattern knurling and always provides a good shave with no razor burn. The blade Gap in the 3 piece design head is set to .68mm while the exposure of the blade is kept at .001" to an exact degree of tolerance. Normally this would yield a razor on the aggressive side, however, the substance of the Henson Al13 design mitigates the consequences of the unwanted aggression by the engineering of the head. This is how the Henson Al13 razor achieves good safety and futuristic high shaving performance simultaneously. This level of detail and the most accurate blade exposure combined make the Henson Al13 perform unlike any other safety razors, shearing facial or body hair precisely at skin level rather than cutting beneath the skin.

While the rest of the competition builds in allowance for casting and painting, Henson Shaving required and achieved a remarkable less than five ten-thousandth of an inch (0.0005) tolerance on critical dimensions through the machining and anodizing process. This means the blade sits straight every single shave.

Softened edges and added bevels-The edges of the baseplate and top cap of the new Henson al13 have been softened in an effort to reduce any unwanted sharpness from the outer edges and corners of the razor head. Also, a large bevel has been added to the outer corners of the razor head. These changes maintain the same extreme precision, improve comfort, and control during shaving, especially when maneuvering around obstacles, such as next to the nose and mouth.

Channel Design-The lather channels in the baseplate of the Henson al13 have been reshaped and the center webs of the lather slots have removed, resulting in improved hair and lather evacuation.

A few other minor changes will be noticed by the very keen observer and fans of the al13, such as the widening of The overall diameter of the handle has been increased by 0.010”. Also, the textured portions of the handle have been made more pronounced. Both of these changes improve overall grip and handling of the razor.
