The New Henson AL-13 Razor Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- Very excited with this 2022 new Henson AL 13 safety razor by @Hensonshaving company up in Ontario, Canada. This is a CNC milled piece of aluminum made into a safety razor with the precision of a instrument made for space. It's definitely a wow razor with all the ingenuity behind this safety razor. The precision that is used in Canada is outrageous and unheard of for the wet shaving community. Comparing a Gillette guard or Gillette fusion, a safety razor just blows it out of the park when it comes to a shave. Check one out below!
*GiveAway Leaf Thorn Razor drawing will be after the first of the year. Looking more like the end of January 2023. Good luck to everyone 😀 WINNER PAPSWhiskers

Great razor for my first shave
Been 10 months since you posted this video, has it been worth it in the long term?
If I want a clean baby smooth shave, would this razor do it?
Yes. I get more baby butt smooth shaves with this razor than any other razor in my shave Den@@devin6437
@@OhioShaves- is this your top rated razor?
@@sshobbies276 For beginners
Thanks its nice to see an expert shave who knows what they are doing review this !!!! you rock !
💈👍
Just got mine and had my first shave this morning, head and face with a bic blade and Cella soap and aftershave splash! I used the AL13 mild. Great channel btw!
That’s great Tony
Use Henson medium with Astra blade and love it. No nicks or razor burn. Recently switched over from a Parker 29 L that served me well for 10 years. Still works well, but the Henson is a definite upgrade. I even use the cheaper vanderhagen puck soap that you get 3 pucks for 10 bucks. Love your channel.
Thanks for sharing. I need to put a Astra blade in it once for sure. I’m editing a video putting the Henson medium vs. the Rockwell 6C using Gillette Nacet blades. The Henson didn’t fair well on the first pass. Maybe a bad blade
Well, I was already looking at getting one of these, and this sealed the deal. Thanks for the straightforward, to-the-point and honest review!
💯. Thanks for your support
Have you got one yet? If so - what makes you favour this razor over other safety razors? Been 6 months since you posted this comment, has it been worth it over 6 months?
@@pastamasta702 I did get it, yes, and it has absolutely been worth it over the last 6 months. It gives a really clean shave, it's simple and easy to keep cleaned, it's got a good weight to it, and all in all it's just a verry good razor. As for why I got this compared to other safety razors, mostly because the Henson guys got to me first, truth be told.
It's the best selling safety razor for good reason. I have a new giveaway coming soon for The Henson shaving company@@pastamasta702
I got this on Monday. It’s my first Safety Razor. It was better than the modern multi blade razors. No ingrown hairs.
Nice. Thanks for sharing
I had a Merkur 34C since 2014. I would place it in the same spot every time after my shave and one of my 4 kids lost it a few days ago so I was in the market for one. I saw an ad for this and the guy seemed so genuine and authentic that I pulled the trigger and bought it. Looking forward to using it when it comes in the mail.
Nice👍
How has it been?
Just bought one this be my first safely razor thank you for your reviews for helping me decide what to try first
Nice.
You encouraged me to try a feather blade in the Henson al13. I corked the blade 1st. It was smoother then last time I used it. It’s very light! Still find the mamba easier to use. I think I’ll pickup a twig next.
The easiest razor to shave with is the twig but the rockwell 6c is my daily driver
I had trouble using too much pressure at first, but when I got the pressure right the shave is awesome!
Great tip! Me too
let the blade do the work, pressure must always be very light, regards dapper shaves
That shave sounded baby face smooth. I’m considering a DE safety razor for the first time, and I’m currently doing my research before purchasing one. I have coarse, natural, curly hair that makes me prone to ingrown hairs, and sensitive skin to boot. Hoping the DE safety razor is the answer for me. I’m also looking forward to future cost saving and minimizing plastic waste.
After listening to a few UA-cam channels on shaving, it sounds like you’re in for an enjoyable head shave with the Henson.
I’m strongly leaning towards the Henson Razor, but would value your feed back on blade recommendations for sensitive skin and to minimize ingrown hairs.
I would also love to enter your giveaway @ Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor. Thank you for your review on the Henson razor.
Happy New Year❣️
I would definitely buy a variety pack of DE razor blades. Find the one that best suits your skin type and then buy 100 of them. Variety pack: amzn.to/3RZyP7g
Sample Pack: amzn.to/3CzP18N
Great shave! Glad they sent you the 2nd version of the razor as I understand they tweaked some things from the 1st version like I had. Never could get the angle right as it felt like the head was sticking to my face and when I changed the angle then the shave became harsh. Never was smooth for me like the Twig always is.
Thanks for the info! The Twig is way easier to shave with for the first time
never like the fixed shaving angles, especially that steep. regards dapper shaves
Just reviewed my first tub of this sandalwood cream and oh baby I love it! Great performer! Great shave brother! Go bucks!
Awesome! Thank you! O-H
sandalwood is my favourite scent, regards dapper shaves
As I have said before the Henson is my favorite razor, glad you gave it a try. Good call on not using the RK, I 'm not a fan. I didn't buy the Henson until I was well into wet shaving. I didn't get it quickly because I didn't like light razors, especially cheap feeling aluminum. The Henson does NOT feel cheap and now it's weight feels amazing to me, I love it. You get used to the weight and you can keep going over spots if you need to without irritation. The titanium version, which I finally bought is a bit heavier and I love it but it is expensive. Awesome video man !
Well said! thanks for watching brian
well made razors, good feedback, regards dapper shaves
i got this in mild, as it is my first safety razor ever. the weight doesn't bother me because i've been shaving with cartridge razors for 30 years. i'm kicking myself at how much money i've wasted using those cartridges, when i could have gone this way and saved so much and got a better shave. i've had a full beard for over 20 years, and this razor makes it very easy to get my cheek and neck lines crisp vs a cartridge.
💯 you got that right brother. I wasted a ton of money as well Great comment.👍
Just made the dive and bought the mild in metal blue, and a medium in silver with the Henson stand, and Feather blades. Have always used different throwaways, so this will be my first time with a safety razor. I never did get a close shave, except when I used an electric razor. Great video, you persuaded me into buying the Henson AL13's.Wish me luck, Lol
Leaf Razor to enter the contest!!!
Keep us up-to-date
How is it going?
Very informative. Thanks... I'm really considering getting one of these and I wanted see good review. Well done.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great review, I have to shave almost every day for my job so I grew up watching my dad use disposable and they absolutely destroy my face. So after 4 years of painful shaves and bad burning for days I started seeking answers for a better way to shave. Because of your review I just bought the Henson Ti22 in medium it’s a beautiful all titanium razor, I can’t wait to get it. I gave your channel the credit for how I herd about it so hopefully they send you one out !
I received my titanium Henson yesterday👊
@@OhioShaves nice! I can’t wait to see the review
It’s growing to be my next shave. Coming out this weekend
I figured I’d revisit. I FINALLY got a Henson AL-13 razor. Received it, today. Dr. Squatch has a green version. Happened to see an ad on Fb, last week. Had a Cyber Monday sale for 35% off. Excellent deal.
I used it with a Super Iridium blade. I loved the shave. It doesn’t shave real close, but close enough. No nicks, cuts or razor burn. Picks up a lot of hair on each pass. Rinses out, very easy. Compared to the Rockwell 6C, I’d say the Henson is better than the Rockwell with mild plates. Not overall, however.
Nice buy. Thanks for sharing
Ive been using it for 4 months now and going to upgrade to the titanium for my lifetime razor. I’m fine with the mild. I use to have harsh razor burn and it’s since stopped!
Nice. The titanium is on a whole other level.👍
I saw your review and I got interested; then I saw a video on how they make this Henson AL13 razor. I ordered the mild version (in The Netherlands) and I just got my first shave: great! I shaved many years with Gilette, last years with Fusion, before that with Mach3. My gut feel says that I will stick to the Henson. The Gilette Fusion for traveling in airplanes; I bet that the blades with safety razor are not allowed in airplanes. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for your support
Just got the Twig and I’m liking it so far. Would love to compare the Thorn to that Twig. Henson is on my list but just too many razors out there to try them all.
👍
Sublime shave!! Haven’t tried that razor out but it seems fantastic
Time will tell thanks for watching
Got this razor about 6 months ago, and I loved it. Used it for head shaves. Stop using it when I got the Leaf. I can do my head in half the time with the Leaf. I keep it in rotation for face shaves now. It's a nice razor. You just have to get use to the weight. Or lack there of. LOL
Good review
not fond of fixed shaving angle, its also steep. regards dapper shaves
Just had my first shave with the AL-13. WOW! Definately has a learning curve, but i've been shaving with a Gillette 2 blade for a long time, so this wasn't that much different except the angle needed. I only went with the grain and across the grain, and holy crap! Very smooth shave! No cuts, even across a mole I have on my neck. I bought a sample pack of blades like you recommended. I used an Astra first and it was very smooth. I see I have a Lord in the bunch and have heard it pulls a little. Thanks for the content. You helped me decide to give this a try, and I love it so far.
👍
Learning curve? its a shaver. Gillett fusion 5 blade that has a battery and complex is also EZ no learning curve. This is not rocket science even though they do make rocket parts :)
I had the Hanson +++ aggressive. The razor is not aggressive but extremely efficient and totally smooth
💈👍
I just got a Henson, it is by far the BEST I have yet used, and tossed the LGBS henry shaver ....... really, a great design and NO nicks, show you what great design can be .
Nice 👍
Great video, have had my eye on that razor for awhile, going to buy it in January, looking forward to see how it compares to a standard design DE razor especially after the shave with the alum block, I shaved with a merkur futur earlier and I put no pressure on the razor but it still stung a lot with the alum 🙄 I think this razor will work for me because I tend to put pressure on the razor without realising and all of the razors I own have good heft so this might be a good solution for me 👍 great video 😊
Thank you much
they seem to be well made a shaves well. I personally is not a fan of the fixed shaving angle, like things flatter to the skin. regards dapper
I’m going to buy one of these razors. Thanks for the nice video
Thanks for your support
The Henson AL13 looks very beautiful... thanks for the review!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
@@OhioShaves it was also a pleasure to see some Henson company material. Great editing.
Best and looking forward to your next video!
Thank you much
sure is a beautiful razor, regards dapper shaves
I've had the Henson mild for 7 months and I have loved it! I've mostly used the RK blades and get very close and comfortable shaves. It's my first DE, so I didn't have to "unlearn" things like dealing with heavier razors. One thing I will say is that because the angle is completely dialed in, it does a great job of exposing differences in blades, soaps, etc. I'm trying several different right now, and have yet to find one better for me than the RK.
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍
The Henson seems like a great razor. I can’t wait to see a head shave. Great content as always!!! ✌🏻🪒🧼🎄
You and me both!
i expected it to weight more, generally de are a lot heavier. regards dapper shaves
@ Ohio shaves thorn razor!!!! 🪒👍🏻
The henson razor eliminated all the hard to get areas. Awesome shave even with a not so great blade. Next blade will be a nacet
💈👍
@Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor. I’m happy to see you review this. I own a Rockwell 6c and was looking at this. Still not sure I’ll get it , or at least anytime soon. But glad to see you use it and have a good shave with it. Thanks.
👍💈
rockwell is a better razor IMO, regards dapper shaves
@Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor
Cool to see a Canadian Razor on the channel but maybe I'm biased because I'm from up north. Good to see it performing so well for you, might have to pick up a Henson Razor eventually for myself as well
Nice review. I have been thinking about trying a henson sometime...
Go for it!
I just got the ti22. It has a lot more weight than the aluminum one. It really is a work of art; a masterpiece. Highly recommended!
Great razor
I had been using only plastic disposable razors my whole adult life. To me, the Henson AL13 is heavier than what I am used to. A lightweight razor is like a sports car, very nimble, easy to wield, and desirable.
👍
I have had a horrible problem with clogging razors. Gillete, $ Shave, Harry's, Geremy's, they all clog if I don't shave for a day. This one doesn't. And costs far less than all of them. I am very happy.
Right on brother 👍
I hve a water pick and that does wonders for cleaning out Gillete blades after each use, they last longer too.
@Sean Kanoog I have one too, it's just a huge mess whenever I use it. I recently got an ultrasonic cleaner, and it is great for cleaning disposable blades.
The lightness does take some getting used to, but after a few shaves you get used to it. One issue I have with the Henson AL13 is it's hard to get a close shave at the back of my jaw, but everywhere else I don't have a problem. It's definitely the best razor I've used though.
Great Razor. I use it often.
New subscriber! Nice video. I have the Henson and this video is going to make me break it out and use it again. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity @OhioShaves Thorn Razor !
Thanks for Subscribing and liking the video
Thanks for the informative and clear video!
You are welcome!
I love that you took the time to not only do more than one pass, but in different directions too. I've been using a Jeremy's razor, and have been less than satisfied with the irritation it gives for a while. I'm thinking of switching to one of these, or perhaps the leaf/twig thing you mentioned.
Both are great razors when making the switch
Another great video with a honest review. I too like the razor to have enough weight to do all the work.
Having said that the Henson is a beautiful instrument.
It’s a little too light. They should make a stainless steel model. I think more people would like the weight. It is not easy to use. If you don’t get that 30 degree angle it doesn’t cut anything. I did a head shave yesterday and I was extremely difficult on my round head. Thanks for watching Tony. Appreciate your support
@@OhioShaves I bought the Rockwell 6s( it was on sale for a few bucks more the then the 'c') after you loved yours so your option matters.
Great deal👍Appreciate that
I’m glad you like the Henson razor and went with the nacet blades. If I’m running late I’ll grab for one of my hensons as it is an autopilot shave. I picked up a high proof razor and that is even lighter than the Henson as I have to watch the pressure. My only complaint which is why I got the aggressive is that i can get a smooth shave but will have more of a 5 o clock shadow with the medium vs the aggressive. Honestly with all of the issues I had with Oneblade if Henson didn’t work out I would have probably gone back to cartridge razors.
Good insight. My shave didn't last as long as while using the Henson mild. Compared to a leaf twig or a rockwell 6C. My neck can't handle a cartridge razor. Glad you Figured it out.
seem like a foolproof razor, especially when you’re in a hurry, not fond of the steep 30degrees, regards dapper shaves
@@OhioShaves What does that even mean "My neck can't handle a razor" what do you have a turkey neck? Fusion 5 blade razors are very easy to use impossible to cut your self with.
My anecdotal experience that what they claim is true about the blade flex. After a few weeks I started getting really bad irritation again. At first I wrote it off as just a bad few days of my skin being more sensitive than usual. But then I noticed that I hadn't tightened the blade as much as I should have. So I twisted it tight and was back to no irritation. I also figure that maybe the blade flex is why people swear by straight edge razors.
As for the lightness, I've been using a razor I got that was handmade for years, and I was able to just swap the handles. I also didn't much care for the handle that came with the Hensen, but with the old handmade handle, it is fantastic.
Thanks for sharing
You look smooth, almost a few years younger! This razor really cuts back the razorburn.
👍
Because of You I’ve tryed Leaf on my head and it'd works great. Now, with a bit of luck, I will try @Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor. Cool 😊 THX
Fantastic!👍
I really want a thorn would love to win it, also that Henson in red is beautiful.
👍
Also, I like that you switched out the razor for one that you're more familiar with...nice. No need to bleed for "likes".
I appreciate that!
Gotta say I'd been kicking around the idea of getting this one for a few weeks. Finally broke down and got it earlier this week, after seeing your demonstration. First shave this morning...un-freaking-believable! I have very sensitive skin (I have to use a Shark Super Chrome blade for how mild it is). This was the cleanest shave I've ever had in four years of wet shaving. Not a single nick, or spot of irritation. (I'd been using an EJ DE87 or 3One6 to this point.) It's like using the weight of a cartridge/disposable, but with actually decent blades!
Thanks for the update. Great razor
Thanks for that blade recommendation! I'm looking to get into this type of shaving and my skin is sensitive too.
Never wet shaved ever. I’m coming from cartridges. Would you recommend this razor with the shark super chrome blade combo for my first shave. A little intimidated by wet shaving I do have sensitive skin also.
The 100 RK blades that you get when you use my code are pretty good. I would buy a variety pack from Amazon because everyone’s face and skin type is totally different.
@@OhioShavesThanks. Free blades nice. I see you have an Amazon link for a variety pack with many brands I’ll buy that also. Thank brother.
I've used the Gillette M3 for years. When it comes to weight, M3 36G, AL13 40g. For a beginner, the weight shouldn't be much of an issue. For anyone new AL13 is heads above the Mach 3.
💯 Great review
Thanks for doing this video, put in my order and your coupon code worked, thanks !!
Awesome. Thanks for your support
@@OhioShaves For sure, was thinking of getting one for a while, so hoping to toss those disposable cartridges. Thanks Again

Thanks, John 💈👍
@Ohio shaves Leaf Thorn razor. I’m glad you like the Henson. I thought the included RK blades were pretty good
Thanks for sharing!
I didn't Care for the RK in the Henson
@@OhioShaves they aren’t as smooth as a coated blade and only do well for two shaved
Great video is as good as the feather double-edge safety razor
👍
I knew you'd like the Henson. While the Rockwell 6S is my daily driver, I usually go to the Henson when I have any skin irritation or blemishes. It's almost impossible to get nicked. After 2 or 3 shaves I learned to use a light touch and I haven't had a nick since. When I got my Henson (mild), the Astra Green was recommended and shipped with the razor. I can't recall why Henson switched to the RK blade? Also, I bought a two-pack of those silicone collapsible bowls at Amazon for about $6. They are great for travel.
great insight. I think they switched to RK after they improved the AL13. Those bowls are great
light touch is the key, regards dapper shaves
New to this type of shaving. You are going over most of your skin 3-7 times a pass. When I borrowed and tried a safety razor, he said long smooth strokes and not without cream. I'm not sure if it was for new to it or what. Just think if you go over your skin so many times, you will get nicks on the thinner areas, no??? I'm supposed to receive my Henson razor today. Was searching for shaving tips. Thank you for making the video.
You definitely want to use a cream or soap on your face. If you don't, it's going to be a nightmare. This video will help: ua-cam.com/video/V2tszfS4wfg/v-deo.html
Ive got the medium al13, it shaves really well, just takes a little getting used to
💯. The weight of the razor was hard for me at first
The rk razors are super high quality i loved them
A lot of people do. Great razor as well
Ohio shaves Thorn razor. Thanks for the review; I really like my Leaf Twig!
Right on! I like the Twig as well
Never tried the Henson razor before. But, it’s a nice razor.

not fond of the fixed 30 degrees, regards dapper shaves
Great razor, but yea, being aluminum, it is little on light side but dang. I love it 😀..

Great shave with this new razor. Great video as always 👍👏👏
Thanks 👍
agreed, great razor, regards dapper shaves
Good video . Can't wait to try it.
Have fun! Great razor
I had the same opinion as you about aluminium razors but I tried the goodfellas smile styletto. Sound feedback is the worst about them imo but other than that they are awesome
👍
thanks for the feedback, regards dapper shaves
Damn, now I'm torn between the twig and the al13....
Maybe I'll just get both
As of right now, I think the twig is much easier to use
Twig works fantastic.
@@OhioShaves thanks for your tip brother! Consider myself better informed
@Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor
Love your vids. Been waiting for this one. Love my Twig and Leaf for head shaves. Can't wait to see followups on this one. Been using Stirling soap aftershave has witch hazel in it i really like it.
Thank you much. Thanks for letting me know about the witch hazel and the aftershave
stirling products are very good, love their soaps. regards dapper shaves

I love the Henson, but I am like you, I like the heft of a safety razor.
😀
@ohio shaves thorn razor. Can't wait for my henson to get here, picked one up yesterday.
nice
I like heavier razors like my Merkur but my med Henson is the best I’ve ever tried.
👍
Could you say which Rockwell plate the Henson Mild is similar to? I find Henson is a very mild razor and the head really drags on my skin so I plan on returning it. The included RK blades are the worst. Once it literally skipped across my chin like a rock skipping across water with an RK blade.
I don’t care for the RK blades either. As for Rockwell Plate #, may #2. There is a major difference in these razors. You have to get the correct angle on the Henson. With the Rockwell you do not, you can shave with a shallow or Steve angle, and still get a great shave 🪒
Great video
Thanks. Glad you liked it
Just ordered the al13 medium, what blades do you recommend for this, or is there a starter pack of blades I should try? Coming off the typical cartridge stuff. First DE safety razor. Need to get all of the toddies as well other than brush, someone gave me one 34yrs ago, never used it. Any recommendations for a newbie on that stuff to?

Enjoyed the Video, great shave and review! Will definitely look into this razor more now.
Thanks for watching!
Oy..., three pass shave procedure??!! Wow, I'm strictly a one pass and done shaver, but that's because I can't grow a full beard or mustache if my life dependent on it, but I agree with you; The Henson AL-13 is great. I just got mine the other day and used it once, but it'll take a few more shaves to fully get the hang of this razor. I didn't think that this razor did that well on my neck, but perhaps that will change with more use. But all in all, I'm pleased and think that this razor is worth the money and a very close and smooth shave! So try one out Folks, you won't be sorry. Thanks for this review.😎
Thanks for your support, brother. It is greatly appreciated and not overlooked.
If you like a heavier razor you can always get the Henson razor in Titanium...twice as heavy, but more expensive.
Yeah right: ua-cam.com/video/SvnDWRq9JWQ/v-deo.html
The stubborn facial hair grows back in the next day. I’m literally looking into laser hair removal, but think this will hold me over for the sheer term. Thanks 👍
Yes it does!
near term
I love this razor and I bought one for my girlfriend xx
Great razor
Honestly, the Henson is my favorite razor to shave my head with. I've never cut myself around my ears or that little fold in the back of my head. I also have a mole. I've cut myself with every other razor, but never the Henson.
Thanks for sharing because a lot of guys that head shave, have problems with cutting into the moles on their head or any imperfection for that matter. I will definitely point this out in my next Henson shave video. Thanks again for your support and adding content for me to create.
@ohioshaves great video as always, i found it funny how stunmed the leaf let you after u used it and I'm glad the Henson give u such a good shave, I'd like to have a Henson too, but it's too expensive for my Romanian budget lol.
Thanks 👍

Thanks for the giveaway brother, great shave!
👍
The titanium henson is heavier closer than the aluminum. Definitely would love a review
I have one right here for you: ua-cam.com/video/esn8HhWqfEw/v-deo.html
I’ve heard from other reviews that this razor is not very strong in terms of cutting power (at least compared to Rockwell). So ppl have put more pressure into the shave.
However, I think what it losses in power, it makes up in safety. I can’t use a Gillette safety razor on my dome, but I bet this razor can.
It's hard to beat. Rockwell razor's are adjustable that puts them in a totally different category. But I can see the point you're trying to make.
amazing video you make it look easy. ive never used a DE, been shaving over a year with a SR, how would the transition be to the Henson? My SR almost never irritates and i used a modern head swivel razor the other day and had decent irritation the following day, do you think id get past that irritation fairly quickly? thank you sir!
It’s a game changer. Grab an alum block and a good soap with a brush. You will love the shave you get and your complexion will greatly improve. It did for me
@@OhioShaves thats great to hear. thank you for taking the time, looks like its time to try one out…
