We get it. You’ve got a razor that technically works.
But if you’re here, part of you is hoping there’s an actual upgrade out there. Maybe it’s just the quiet sense that shaving shouldn’t feel this… compromised.
Here’s what might happen when you finally make the switch to Henson and why future you will be glad you did.
1. You’ll be spending like $5/year on blades.
Blades that cost cents instead of dollars. No subscriptions. A razor that never needs replacing.
Even if you change out your blade every week, you’ll only be spending about $5/year. Trust us, that feeling only gets better with time.
2. You won’t hesitate, and that’s how it should be.
When shaving stops being something you dread, something shifts. You’ll catch yourself reaching for the razor because it’s quick, satisfying, and doesn’t punish you with redness.
No more pre-planning when the "safest" time to shave is. No more having to prep all the workarounds to minimize the damage. Future you just shaves when they want to.
3. Your complexion will be noticeably better.
Safety razors are not magic pills, they're more like vitamins. When used consistently the benefits start to add up.
After months and years of using a Henson razor, you’ll be surprised how much better your skin looks. No more bumps (or ladies, strawberry legs), you may even have less acne. Keeping your skin barrier protected will really start to pay off the longer you use it.
4. You’ll stop thinking about replacements entirely.
You know that creeping feeling when you realize you’re out of cartridges? Or the guilt of overpaying for a new handle just to get a discount on blades? Yeah, that disappears.
With Henson, your handle is built to last. Your blades come in a 100-pack. And your whole routine just… settles.
5. You’ll have ditched so many bad habits.
When you expect mediocre shaves, it's easy to develop bad habits since the impact is less noticeable. Over-using blades to avoid having to buy more. Keeping the blades in the shower where they get rusty and ripe with bacteria.
When shaving is effective, you’ll want to keep it that way. Swapping out blades more often, keeping them dry between uses. You will have graduated to a proper shaving routine.
6. You’ll be proud you ditched plastic.
Even if it’s not the primary reason for switching, not throwing out disposable razors or plastic cartridges will be a nice feeling. The DE blades Henson uses are recyclable as well.
Even if not everything in your bathroom is zero-waste, you’ll appreciate that shaving is.
Future you is asking: are you ready?
