Hansen Shaving Avis 

Well engineered and worked (shaved) very well. I had a feeling it would be good, and it was. I've tested it a few times now and am very happy.
I would recommend the purchase, as the unit is light, easy to use, serviceable and ergonomic/economic.

I had been using a 'Mule Razor' which, while also well-made, is heavy and takes some practice to get the angle just right. It also accumulated a lot of debris inside the head and so constantly needs attention, or it really starts to gum-up.

The Henson Razor is by far much easier to clean and clear - and with the swish blue-anodised body and head suffers less from staining and build-up. By slackening blade tension, you are able to quickly wash the head and remove any debris.

This product is well marketed trash. There's a lot of fake reviews for this ineffective piece of aluminum. Stick to your current razor and save your money.

I rarely write reviews but after I delt with HENSON I feel the moral obligation to let people know how genuine this company is and to what degree they care about their customers.
I had an issue with the AL13 razor so I let the customer service know about it, and let me tell you they went above and beyond any expectation I had, they even offered me a new razor for free!
If you are thinking about getting a safety razor, just stop searching it's simply the best.

I really wanted to like this razor. Its engineering, its look, its craftmanship, and its feel are excellent. That said, I was disappointed with the razor razor because (1) the razor irritated my face more than any other razor I have used and (2) the shave was not as close as I got from other razors. I tried different angles and different pressures. I also tried after-shave lotions and creams to ease the irritation but without satisfactory results. I cannot recommend this product.

To add insult to injury, I cannot return the razor under Henson's 100-day return policy because they can only issue refunds to the credit card used to make the purchase. Unfortunately for me, my credit card was cancelled after my purchase, and I no longer have a relationship with the issuing financial institution. I paid a premium price for a razor that I cannot use and cannot return.

Clever marketing but the product has failed to be effective. A straight edge razor is the reason shaving nicks occur. A piece of aluminum without a blade is $100. You don’t need that many people to buy an ineffective product to make a small fortune.

Expensive titanium razor delivers subpar shave. Compared to other razors this one is not worth the money. Company does not stand by it's product. No refunds on the $250.00 titanium. The much less expensive aluminum razors do offer refunds but the shave is no better than a quality electeic shaver. I'll keep the blue one I purchased only because it makes a nice decoration.

This razor gives a perfect shave with no irritation and little to no cuts/nicks. The only complaint I might have is razor drag, I would constantly apply more shaving cream. I found a product that makes this much less of a problem though, after I fixed my issue with the drag, because this razor does such a good job I upgraded and purchased the titanium version.
This company absolutely stands behind their products and they treat their customers very well and do everything they can to make them happy.

Any favorable comparisons between this product and its modern multi-blade counterparts must be based on nostalgic wishful thinking. Screw-down, single-blade razors went extinct for good reason and the Henson shows why. If you yearn for the days of mediocre shave quality and stemming blood loss with pieces of toilet paper, then it's the way to go. Otherwise, stick with the 3-plus blade options which are far superior by any measure.

I really do like this razor. At first I wasn’t too keen on it because I hacked myself up pretty good and my whole face burned and went red after each shave. I kept at it until I finally realized I there is a bit of a curve on the re-learning how to use the old style razor I started out on more than 50 years ago. A new and improved razor mind you but still the double edged system. Now I get good close painless shaves with no blood loss or red rash. You have to be much gentler than you do with convention 4 or 5 blade systems. So, I eased up on the pressure and slowed down on the stokes and still I can shave with water only. I bought a box of 100 blades with the razor and my guess is that at several shaves per blade, like 8 to 10, even with a pretty tough beard, and 3-4 days between shaves, I now have years of blades on hand that are a tiny fraction of the price I was previously paying. Couldn’t be happier.

I’ve had a AL13 for sometime, I noticed a strange pattern fade of the anodisation on the top plate.

I contacted customer service and they responded promptly with understanding. Unfortunately given the age of my razor they have moved to the V2 so helped me with a discounted new razor.

I’m in the UK and the replacement was sent and received within a week.

Fantastic after sales and customer service.

I’ll hopefully upgrade to the ti22 :)

Well, I was impressed by the dude in marketing’s video and ordered this rasor. It looks pretty and very light weight body BUT!! those made in India blades aren’t different than other grandpa era’s blades.
My cartridge razors are much smoother than this razor. I never had any fears of cuts while using cartridge razors but I used this razor twice since I received it and I had cut on my face every time. I had rash and uneven shave. I won’t recommend this razor for facial shave

Ordered a razor from them and they have not shipped it (both tracking numbers note the shipping company has been notified a label is created but they have not received the package from henson yet)

after talking to their support they just let me know I need to contact them again to request a refund after 30 days and will not help actually try to get the product shipped.

I bought from abroad (Denmark) and ended up paying much more than for customs and shipping. The worst part is that the razor is actual garbage for me, borderlining fraud. I have sensitive skin and I like a clean shave. 1) it was not possible to have a clean shave and 2) my skin was super irritated. DO NOT BUY IT, IT IS A SCAM.

Bought their product (to shave), but it didn't end up working out for me because of how my skin/hair is. They shipped out the product to me in 2 days, and when I asked to start the return process, they gave me a full refund instantly and allowed me to keep the product or give it to a friend. Great customer service.

Maybe I'll increase the rating if and when I actually see that they've made an effort to ship me what I paid for, or that they bother to respond to an email inquiry.

I'm hoping to eventually see the razor and try it out, but right now I'm struggling with if this is a scam, or just really, really bad order fulfillment. Given the bloated shipping fees they apply to their product (for domestic shipping in Canada... where they're produced), I was expecting to see confirmation of shipment the next day after I placed my order. Third full day since they accepted my money, and crickets. I expect far, far better from Canadian companies.

As it stands, the only recommendation I would give to friends would be not to buy from them.

Update: Based on their reply, I've added an additional star because they say they've fulfilled and shipped the order. More stars pending, once I receive it. Since I never got an email providing tracking information, nor had they responded to my prior email sent to their support email address, the jury is out till I see when and if something arrives. When I do see something, I'll adjust the entire review (and rating) based on what I see and experience. Maybe they're overwhelmed with queries and orders, or maybe they've got some internal communication issues. Either way, it makes for a shaky and not very comfortable consumer experience.

Update: 2022.10.07
So, the package arrived in the mail today. The razor looks really nice (anodized black), and the fit and finish of the assembly is excellent. Very tight tolerances, and well manufactured. I am yet to use the razor for shaving, but as soon as I do I will update this review again with my assessments. As it stands, I'm very happy with the shipping times and the quality of the product. The only two negatives are the lack of shipping notification for the customer, and that reference purchases are rewarded at a much higher level than those that took the risk to buy the razor without any personal recommendations from friends or associates.

My experience with the AL13 medium razor was satisfactory, but my experience with the AL13 razor was not satisfactory. I could not obtain a close shave. Consequently, per the website, I ordered the AL 13 medium. However, when I attempted to return the AL 13 razor following the website instructions, I notified Henson of my desire to return it for a full refund. Despite the original request and a follow up email, I have heard nothing from Henson about how to return the razor and receive the promised refund. I've only received automated responses saying Henson will be in touch. Yet nothing has followed. Needless to say, I am very disappointed by this situation and will not be recommending Henson to my friends. After I posted this review initially, Henson actually followed through and gave me a full refund on the first razor I purchased, including the sales tax. So, I've revised my review to reflect this. However, I still remain impressed by the technical aspects of the medium razor but am underwhelmed by its shaving performance.

Haven’t used a safety razor in years. Got tired of all the nicks and cuts every time I shaved. Never threw out my old supply of safety razor blades. Tried multiple blade throwaway razors, even an electric razor followed by a 4 blade razor to clean up. Finally came across Henson safety razor and am thoroughly impressed. Took me a couple shaves to get the right angle, but I am happy to report a fantastic shave and no nicks! Unbelievable! Will be unplugging my electric and multiblade razors and investing in some shave cream and moisturizer. Great job Henson Shaving!

Paid for a mild titanium razor. Now been ten days and no shipping update. Not a cheap razor by any means. Ordered before from many shaving suppliers and always shipped same or next day. really disappointed.

Quality product. My order just came in today and I am very happy. I have a great shave and I have the satisfaction of knowing that the product in my hands was made in Canada!

My husband loves it! This razor has reduced his breakouts in a big way. I also like that they are made in Canada
