My anecdotal experience that what they claim is true about the blade flex. After a few weeks I started getting really bad irritation again. At first I wrote it off as just a bad few days of my skin being more sensitive than usual. But then I noticed that I hadn't tightened the blade as much as I should have. So I twisted it tight and was back to no irritation. I also figure that maybe the blade flex is why people swear by straight edge razors. As for the lightness, I've been using a razor I got that was handmade for years, and I was able to just swap the handles. I also didn't much care for the handle that came with the Hensen, but with the old handmade handle, it is fantastic.

Could you say which Rockwell plate the Henson Mild is similar to? I find Henson is a very mild razor and the head really drags on my skin so I plan on returning it. The included RK blades are the worst. Once it literally skipped across my chin like a rock skipping across water with an RK blade.
@OhioShaves2 жыл бұрын
I don’t care for the RK blades either. As for Rockwell Plate #, may #2. There is a major difference in these razors. You have to get the correct angle on the Henson. With the Rockwell you do not, you can shave with a shallow or Steve angle, and still get a great shave 🪒

Gillette Pros - Can shave fast no cuts easy no need to be careful if in a hurry - Does not clog easily - vibration help to shave even with a slightly dull blade Gillet cons - Price per blade is much higher than Hensen - Maybe does not shave quite as close but not far off. Hensen Pros - Price of blades !!! much less - simple - closer shave but at a cost Hensen Cons - Can dice up your face if not careful - Razor rash from it literally skinning your face, blades are too aggressive even the standard model If price were no option I'm going with Gillette, I've gone back to it and use the Hensen as a back up.

I've used the Gillette M3 for years. When it comes to weight, M3 36G, AL13 40g. For a beginner, the weight shouldn't be much of an issue. For anyone new AL13 is heads above the Mach 3.

Gotta say I'd been kicking around the idea of getting this one for a few weeks. Finally broke down and got it earlier this week, after seeing your demonstration. First shave this morning...un-freaking-believable! I have very sensitive skin (I have to use a Shark Super Chrome blade for how mild it is). This was the cleanest shave I've ever had in four years of wet shaving. Not a single nick, or spot of irritation. (I'd been using an EJ DE87 or 3One6 to this point.) It's like using the weight of a cartridge/disposable, but with actually decent blades!

The lightness does take some getting used to, but after a few shaves you get used to it. One issue I have with the Henson AL13 is it's hard to get a close shave at the back of my jaw, but everywhere else I don't have a problem. It's definitely the best razor I've used though.

I love the head on the Henson, but I am disappointed by the handle's weight and feel. I found that the handle of a King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor fits the head and that solved the handle issue. Other people report that the handle of the Mühle R89 also fits.

That shave sounded baby face smooth. I’m considering a DE safety razor for the first time, and I’m currently doing my research before purchasing one. I have coarse, natural, curly hair that makes me prone to ingrown hairs, and sensitive skin to boot. Hoping the DE safety razor is the answer for me. I’m also looking forward to future cost saving and minimizing plastic waste. After listening to a few KZbin channels on shaving, it sounds like you’re in for an enjoyable head shave with the Henson. I’m strongly leaning towards the Henson Razor, but would value your feed back on blade recommendations for sensitive skin and to minimize ingrown hairs. I would also love to enter your giveaway @ Ohio Shaves Thorn Razor. Thank you for your review on the Henson razor. Happy New Year❣️

I would definitely buy a variety pack of DE razor blades. Find the one that best suits your skin type and then buy 100 of them. Variety pack: amzn.to/3RZyP7g Sample Pack: amzn.to/3CzP18N

I had been using only plastic disposable razors my whole adult life. To me, the Henson AL13 is heavier than what I am used to. A lightweight razor is like a sports car, very nimble, easy to wield, and desirable.

I've had the Henson mild for 7 months and I have loved it! I've mostly used the RK blades and get very close and comfortable shaves. It's my first DE, so I didn't have to "unlearn" things like dealing with heavier razors. One thing I will say is that because the angle is completely dialed in, it does a great job of exposing differences in blades, soaps, etc. I'm trying several different right now, and have yet to find one better for me than the RK.

Oy..., three pass shave procedure??!! Wow, I'm strictly a one pass and done shaver, but that's because I can't grow a full beard or mustache if my life dependent on it, but I agree with you; The Henson AL-13 is great. I just got mine the other day and used it once, but it'll take a few more shaves to fully get the hang of this razor. I didn't think that this razor did that well on my neck, but perhaps that will change with more use. But all in all, I'm pleased and think that this razor is worth the money and a very close and smooth shave! So try one out Folks, you won't be sorry. Thanks for this review.😎
