You've done the prep. You've used the balm. You've minimized the damage. But what if the real problem was the tool itself?
Most razors irritate the skin and then sell you products to fix it. Henson flips that model: start with the right tool and skip the irritation entirely.
This isn't about chasing perfection. It's about the satisfaction of finally getting it right.
We didn't set out to add features, we removed the problem.
Henson razors are built with aerospace-level precision to reduce blade chatter, pressure, and drag on the skin (the 3 main causes of post-shave irriation).
The result? 3x less damage to your skin according to our clinical research.
To measure how shaving affects the skin barrier, we partnered with Mimosa — a clinical research lab using proprietary medical imaging.
The device tracked erythema (a marker for redness and inflammation) at three key time points: just before the shave, five minutes after, and ten minutes after.
No guesswork. Just real-time skin data.
Across different skin types, age groups, and shaving scenarios, the Henson razor consistently delivered 2–4x less erythema than leading multi-blade razors.
That’s a meaningful clinical reduction in irritation — not just something you feel, but something you can measure.
Most drugstore foams made things worse — producing more redness than shaving without any product at all.
But when our razor was paired with our shave cream, it consistently produced the lowest levels of irritation. Less redness, less heat, better barrier health.
Over 600,000 people are enjoying the benefits.
"I notice he's more confident."
"I’m afraid it has ruined drugstore razors for me forever."
"I don't worry about irritation anymore."
"I didn't know you could shave without irritation"
You’ve put thought into your skincare. You’ve patched, treated, exfoliated, and soothed. But the tool you’ve been using? It was never designed with your skin in mind.
That’s what makes this moment different.
Because Henson isn’t another workaround — it’s the upgrade that finally clicks into place.
No subscriptions. No plastic cartridges. Just the kind of results that make you wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.
To shave effectively you want a rigid, precisely controlled blade. Imagine cutting anything with a wobbly knife—it wouldn't work well and shaving is no different.
Your skin is already soft and flexible, so combining it with flexible, wobbly blades like in multi-blade razors causes more tugging and digging when passing through your relatively harder hairs.
Using more blades means more unnecessary passes across your skin. A single blade lets you shave precisely as much as needed, greatly reducing irritation.
Also, with a five blade razor, once the leading blade dulls, the shave becomes too painful anyways, rendering the remaining blades useless.
Essentially, you're paying for five blades but throwing most of them out while they’re potentially still sharp.
Yes. We precisely machined and controlled the dimensions of the Henson razor so the blade gap is similar to the blade gaps found in multi-blade razors.
You’ll have the same level of safety using a Henson as you would using a multi-blade.
No, the Henson uses standard double edged safety razors you can buy anywhere.
Yes, we’ve tested the Henson all over the human body and are confident you’ll get a great shave no matter where you’re shaving.
La industria del afeitado ha fallado a los consumidores al priorizar los beneficios por encima de la salud de la piel, perpetuando un ciclo de irritación e incomodidad. A pesar de los avances tecnológicos, el diseño de las maquinillas apenas ha sufrido cambios. Por el contrario, los fabricantes se han centrado en añadir características triviales en lugar de abordar las verdaderas causas de los problemas relacionados con el afeitado.
