Newcomers often judge safety razors as a category, not as individual products.
That's why a good first shave matters so much. It can decide whether someone sticks with sustainable shaving, or writes off safety razors completely.
Henson razor has both a higher likelihood of converting someone to sustainable shaving and keeping them.
Already carrying a safety razor?
Here's why you should consider Henson.
4 steps
Henson razors are made at our aerospace facility in Ontario, Canada. We control every dimension and tolerance ourselves. That lets us build to specs you won't find in other razors.
1
Step 01
Accurate blade position.
Henson's precise machining and blade positioning design means the blade sits in effectively the exact same spot every time you load one.
2
Step 02
Consistent shave to shave.
Henson's manufacturing tolerances ensure the blade gap and blade exposure are the same everywhere. End to end, and side to side.
This consistency means more trust and confidence in the shave.
3
Step 03
Superior clamping.
Henson clamps the blade in a unique way that increases blade tension and shortens how much of the blade sticks out past its support.
This means less razor burn.
4
Step 04
Intuitive and easy to use.
The large shaving face makes finding the right angle simple and keeps the blade at the ideal 30-degree angle.
This makes for a shave that feels natural and easy to trust.
What does this mean?
More positive first experiences.
These features all work together to give users a shave that's unique to Henson.
They'll feel the difference on their skin right away.
They won't require weeks worth of shaves to dial in "technique".
Not carrying a safety razor?
Here's some reasons you'd want to encourage users to switch to sustainable shaving.
Waste reduction.
Waste reduction.
You probably know this, but every year, it's estimated over two billion cartridge razors end up in the landfill. So the Henson razor is for anyone who's looking to start chipping away at that number.
Replacement blades cost cents.
Replacement blades cost cents.
It's no secret that safety razors are way cheaper to operate. A 100 pack of blades lasts over two years, and costs ~$15.
Compare that to multi-blade replacements that are often $3+ for a single head. So long as they trust the product to deliver (see next point) it's a no brainer.
Henson isn't a leap of faith for your customers.
Henson isn't a leap of faith for your customers.
We’re one of the most recommended razors in wet-shaving communities like Reddit.
We have over 17,000 5-star reviews, and have done multiple clinical studies measuring irritation reduction.
If they haven't already heard of us, customers are one search away from overwhelmingly positive reviews and recommendations.
And here's some technical reasons.
It's engineered not to move.
Multi-blade razors are built to flex, spring, and pivot. That movement lets the blade drift off its cutting angle mid-stroke, so it catches instead of cuts.
The blade is clamped all along the edge.
By clamping the blade rigidly at a fixed 30° angle, Henson focuses on shaving effectiveness.
A rigid, well-supported blade cuts cleaner than a wobbly one. Everyone understands that immediately.
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.
77% less razor burn.
In our controlled studies, participants shaving with the Henson Razor and our Protect Shave Cream saw a statistically significant, 77% reduction in measured erythema (razor burn).
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.
