Made in Canada

We machine the Henson Razor at our aerospace facility in Canada.

Aerospace Quality

The Henson Razor is made to AS9100 standards. Buy once, use for life.

Sold Around The World

The Henson Razor is a proven product, with over 700,000 sold around the world.

Made by machinists.

In 2020, two machinists looked at both the multi-blade and traditional safety razors on the market, and saw glaring shortcomings in their designs.

They had spent years machining aerospace components, solving manufacturing challenges nearly every day, and thought: “We could make a better razor.”

They made the Henson Razor.

We think cartridge razors evolved around monetization.

Load video:

Many multi-blade "features" create the very irritation they claim to solve, while ignoring the basics like holding the blade rigid.

Each upgrade exists to fix the problems the last one caused, and when a razor is built to sell cartridges, irritation isn't a failure. It's a business strategy.

Henson supports the blade.

Load video:

By clamping the blade rigidly at a fixed 30° angle, Henson focuses on shaving effectiveness.

Since less cutting efficiency is lost to blade flex and movement, the shave requires less force, which means less tugging, pulling and irritation.

Our customer feedback has been consistent: less irritation, clearer skin, better shaves.

Load video:

We've commissioned multiple clinical studies to quantify the feedback.

Feature detail

Objective data.

What makes these studies unique is that we didn't just ask people how their skin felt after shaving. We used medical imaging devices to measure actual changes in blood flow to the skin.

Title

77% less razor burn.

In our controlled study, participants shaving with the Henson Razor and our Protect Shave Cream saw a statistically significant, 77% reduction in measured erythema (razor burn).

Title

3x Better hydration.

Henson left skin more hydrated post-shave. Cartridge razors caused significantly greater damage to the skin barrier.

Shave foam can be worse than water.

We found that in some cases, compressed shave foam from a can actually caused more irritation and dryness than just using water alone.

The neck is a problem area.

Data showed that erythema was highest on the neck. Specifically the side closest to participants dominant hand.

Multiple studies.

The results weren't a fluke. They were consistent and statistically significant across every phase.

Live from the sink

And they're glad they did.

They all trusted us, and our vision that shaving could be better.

Why the mass market chose forgiveness over correctness.

Why the mass market chose forgiveness over correctness.

Across many categories, people are starting to recognize a pattern: systems designed for mass appeal often normalize decline. They don’t fail loudly. They fail slowly.

Once you understand the difference between forgiveness and correctness, it becomes difficult to accept irritation as “just the way it is.” The problem stops feeling personal. It starts looking structural.

Physics, Not Gimmicks

Physics, Not Gimmicks

Most razors chase gimmicks.  More blades, more flex, more flash.  But the truth is simpler: shaving is physics, not marketing. We break down how Henson’s aerospace-grade engineering rewrites the rules by minimizing blade flex, optimizing pressure, and stripping away needless moving parts.
