Hansen Shaving Avis 

Tried my Henson shaving twice since receiving it and it gives a very nice and neat shaving. But realised after the first use that there is no lube like my old "gilette" blades so i will have to look for some after shave cream. Good product in general.

I found Henson on Facebook ad. I enjoy wet shaving and have many razors. I’m a sucker for a new approach to razors, so Henson’s blade exposure design intrigued me. The purchase process was smooth, however I wanted the more aggressive model, and it wasn’t listed under the “shop” heading. I was about to give up on the purchase, but happened to find a link within a paragraph. I look forward to my review of the razor’s performance after it is delivered and I’ve used it a few times.

I have been to the site several times and the problems that I saw was limited colors, they show different colors, but only a select few available, knowing the company been in business for a while, you think you would get the more popular ones. The other thing was selecting the razor, it automatically pulled up only one of the model I wanted instead of being a selection at the top I had to scroll down. Other than that I had a good experience.

Would have expected a shipping confirmation within 1 business day... considering how expeditious the competition is (Amazon et al).

Also website is confusing as you can find the 'moderate version' when searching but when you look at the product info it only directs you to the 'mild' version.

I have been wanting to try a safety razor for a while, but was afraid of cutting myself. I already had issues with standard cartridge razors cutting me when shaving my armpits as it is impossible for me to position them in a way that I have a flat surface to shave. I thought my only solution was turning to an electric razor, but then I saw an advertisement for Henson....I know others have been knocking the cardboard demonstration, but that’s honestly what sold me. I bought it, tried it, and it’s the most comfortable shave I’ve ever had! No tugging or razor burn, and I can’t even feel the blade. I shaved my difficult pits with no issue and now have no fear of cutting myself! I’m happy to say this razor exceeded my expectations and solved an issue I’ve had for 15+ years. (Works great on legs too)

I have been a wet shaver for about a decade. I've tried dozens and dozens of straight razors and safety razors. I feel this is the best introductory razor for anyone getting into wet shaving (or even old timers like myself).

The razor locks the blade in at the exact angle it needs to be with just the right amount of gapping. And there is no guess work about how you need to hold the razor in relation to your scalp or face.

I thought for sure it would be too mild and that I would have to do a lot of passes to get a clean shave but you have it dialed in!

Very simple, easy to navigate website.

Purchasing was easy, the video that explained the product seemed a little low in production value but did answer my questions as to why I should consider this razor

Really liked the service. Got some problems in the order but the great customer service take care of it hand I never feel "left aside". Errors can happen, what matter is how you got it back.

The purchase process was pretty clear. The explanation of the distinctiveness of the product was useful. When I actually receive the product I'll know more!

Purchase was very easy, and shipping
Is fast. Should get it today and cant wait to try it.

Efficient customer service response enabled order completion.

I am from the U.K. but a resident of Canada but am back in the U.K. at the moment because of COVID. I live in Ontario and I have heard of He son before now and wanted to try a more traditional method of shaving and wanted something built and designed in Canada 🇨🇦 and you have rave reviews and you seem genuine and very supportive. I hope the shaving experience is as good as the process so far. Thank you

The engineering, design, finish and attention to detail are the reasons I'd decided to give Henson a try. I'm looking forward to receiving it and putting it through its paces.

Pretty good so far.

Received the razor very quickly and was very pleased with the telephone support.

I look forward to actually trying it out and sharing my experience

This was my first DE safety razor purchase and trial. I looked at a few different styles and decided to try this one out. It is certainly a different feel coming from the cartridge razors. I had to go over the same areas a few times, even with re-lathering, which caused some irritation. Overall the shave is pretty close and you can barely feel the blades cutting the hairs. I don't find that it provides as close of a shave as the cartridge shavers on the first or 2nd pass, although I understand why. The built in shave angle makes you feel a little uncertain that you're doing it right and getting as close as you can. You do get used to it once you figure out how to contour it to your face. I debated about returning this and going back to the cartridge style. But, after watching a few videos regarding proper prep and techniques for wet shaving with a razor like this, I found my results to be improved. I will continue to use this razor for my face but will not use it on my head again. I will use the cartridge razors for my head shaves. All in all, a solidly built, and very light DE razor. With the 100 day return policy, it's worth the try for those considering it. I will be sticking to this product!!

There were so many draws to this company in my books even before ordering a razor. First of all, they are a Canadian made and operated business with incredible reviews. Now that I've had a chance to use one myself, I can see why.

1. Effectiveness: this razor is comparable and exceeds any other expensive disposable razor on the market. Once I got accustomed to the angle I have to hold it at, the shave was clean and smooth without having to re-address areas multiple times. Looking back I probably could have gotten the razor with more aggression, but in a review video they recommened turning the shaft about half a turn to expose the blade a wee bit more and that actually did make a difference in the effectiveness of my shave. Finally, the system they have created that avoids hair clogs, really does work, I don't have to rinse it as often and when I do, it is very easy to clean out.

2. Cost: I am going to be able to get so many shaves out of the 100 pack of blades I purchased with my razor. Initially obviously it is more expensive but especially with summer coming up, I am going to be saving a lot of money very quickly.

3. Convenience: Because it is from Canada, and I live in Canada, once I ordered it, the shaver arrived at my door very promptly. Secondly, I now don't have to go out of my way to the shaving isle and buy yet another expensive razor. Lastly, the 100 pack of blades barely takes up any space in my vanity.

4. Time: Although currently, with each individual shave I don't find that it takes any less time than with a conventional razor, overall with the time it takes to purchase a razor, throw out old razors, clean out the hair from razors etc. it probably could be considered a time saver as well. Plus, the more I use it the faster the shave will go as it becomes second nature.

Needless to say, I dramatically threw out my old razor and am excited to potentially use this the rest of my life.

Extremely fast shipping. Product exactly as shown and advertised. Feels great to hold and super easy to use, and I'm saying that as someone that hasn't used a single blade razor since I last used a crappy plastic disposable one in boot camp. The blades seem good quality, too. I kinda wish it had a little bit more heft/weight in the handle, but that's probably just me. Definitely a good purchase.
