The team behind Henson has spent over 20 years making parts for major aerospace projects including the OneWeb satellite constellation, ExoMars rover, and the International Space Station.

When we started Henson in 2020, 67% of people still expected to get irritation every time they shaved. We thought we could fix that.

We think cartridge razors evolved around monetization.

Load video:

Many multi-blade "features" create the very irritation they claim to solve. Each upgrade exists to fix the problems caused by the last one.

When a razor is designed around monetization, irritation isn't a failure. It's a business strategy.

Henson clamps the blade securely.

Engineered to clamp a single blade at a precise 30 degree angle, it does what a razor is actually supposed to do: cut hair cleanly, the first time.

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 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...

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.

Paid for itself in 3 months. Cartridge razors were robbery.

The build quality is insane. This thing will last forever.

Switching from cartridges was way easier than I expected.

Finally a razor that doesn't destroy my sensitive skin.

Bought one for my wife too. She's obsessed with hers.

Best shave I've ever had. Nothing else comes close.

One blade lasts me two weeks. A 100 pack is years of shaving.

The Henson AL13 Razor

Most razors are designed to let the blade flex and move. The AL13 isn't. It holds the blade in one fixed position, which cuts down on the friction and irritation that cause razor burn.

No springs. No moving head. No moisturizing strips covering up a bad design. Just a blade held securely at the right angle, every single shave.

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.
