I've bought and used some of the best razors in the world, including the Timeless Ti ($300) USA, the Tatara Masamune ($200) Portugal, the Above The Tie Windsor SSM-1 ($185) USA, the Karve CB Brass ($100) Canada, the Feather AS-D2 ($175) Japan, the Parker Variant ($60) India, the Merkur 34C ($40) Germany, the Rockwell 6C ($50) USA, etc., etc. Let me tell you..this ****** little aluminum Henson AL13 ($70) razor from Canada, bested them all in a head-to-competition that I've been posting on the Badger & Blade shaving forum. The AL13 is EXTREMELY comfortable...as in ZERO blade feel. Yet, it is also VERY EFFICIENT. I don't know how they did it...but THEY DID IT! They made THE PERFECT MILD RAZOR! I cannot imagine their titanium offering, the Ti22, being any better. But, believe me, when it comes back in stock, I'm going to find out! ;) Congratulations to Henson Shaving for coming up with this revolutionary, precision-designed shaving instrument! :) Ken New York

I'm a wet shaver, shaving my face and head for almost 20 years. This is the smoothest, fastest, and safest DE razor I've used to date. The titanium is pricey, but I imagine it will outlast me. Highly recommended.

Beautifully manufactured razor providing an excellent shave.

My Titanium Ti22 just arrived and it is an outstanding razor! I had been looking for a light-weight razor for travel and was a bit hesitant about aluminum thinking that it might not stand up well under travel conditions. The Ti22 was both extremely strong as well as lightweight so I opted for it in spite of the extra cost. It is beautifully constructed and its angular, more futuristic design, makes it stand out among my other razors. In the end, however, the quality of a razor comes down to the comfort and closeness of the shave and here the Ti22 is exceptional. I will give it another month or two before I come to a final decision on whether it is better than my favorite Japanese or American razor but, as it stands, it is definitely their equal… at a substantially lower cost. My endorsement of the Henson design in summary?--- I just ordered a couple of AL13 for home base.

I recently purchased a Hanson Ti razor. I started with the $50 aluminum model and was pleased. The razor was smooth, shaved quickly, and cleanly. However, within 15 hours I needed another shave. I reasoned the razor was not aggressive enough to give me the close shave that I wanted. In order to get the aggressive model, I purchased the Ti model. I have a light beard and usually do not do well with aggressive razors. This Ti razor works fine for me. First of all, it is not. an aggressive razor by most standards. I would rate it as a medium razor. I loaded it with a Feather blade and got close shaves. I do have to buff my problem areas a few times. I have been getting smooth,fast, long-lasting shaves with the Henson Ti. In summary, if you require an aggressive razor this is not the razor for you. Second, for the best results use the sharpest blade available.

Fantastic Shaving, but you see every fingerprint on the coating
