@DidSocrates Similar approach. Modernized though we assure you. Virtually every product you own in your own is an iteration on a previous idea. That's how things get better 💪

Since we sold the first Henson razor, one of the most frequent questions we’ve been asked is “Do you have a stand?” Well as of today, we’re happy to announce that we can finally say yes.

The face of the razor is angled at 30 degrees to help take the guesswork out of shaving. This makes Henson razors some of the most user-friendly safety razors on the market.

Our in-house anodizing team came up with a gorgeous copper colour for the Henson AL13 (yes, it's still made of aluminum) Images can't do justice to the vibrancy of this anodized beauty. Available now for a limited time:

The Henson AL13 costs several times more than a typical cartridge razor. However, the blades cost over 20x less, which makes the Henson AL13 significantly cheaper to own. This sounds obvious, but there are some interesting psychological tendencies that work against consumers...

Hesitant to switch to a safety razor? We made the Henson so that the blade is always presented to your skin at the exact angle you need for a safe shave, which makes it remarkably easy to pick up and use.

When designing the razor, we were surprised at how meaningful very tiny changes were to the quality of the shave. It wasn't enough to just design a razor with optimal dimensions. We had to ensure that those exact dimensions were the same for every razor we made. #aerospace

How do the recurring shipments of a razor subscription affect our environment, and is there a better way? 2 years of a monthly razor subscription = 24 deliveries With a Henson razor, a box of 100 blades is just $10, so you can shave for 2 years (or more) with just 1 delivery.

After machining, each piece of the razor requires deburring. A tungsten bushing is then pressed into the baseplate and the razor's blade exposure is measured. #howitsmade #manufacturing #cambridge #madeincanada

Do Henson razors work for head shaving? We have great reviews for all areas of the body, especially the head. The unique head design of the Henson razor has a flat shaving plane that preps the skin and allows you to get the optimal 30° shave angle every time.

While best known for his work in aviation, William S. Henson invented the modern form of the razor, the 'T' shaped safety razor, and patented it in 1847. @HensonShaving was named as a "hat tip" to Mr. Henson, and we hope he would be proud of how far his original design has come.

Do you live in a century home? There may be razor blades in your walls. Until the 1970s, it was common for homes to have a slot in the wall of their bathroom where shavers would safely dispose of their used razor blades. #didyouknowthat #historyfacts #plasticfree #zerowaste

It would take the average user 35 years to double their investment in a Henson purchase. With 10 cent blades, it's only about $2/year to shave. The average multi-blade cartridge user would double their investment within the first 3 months.

With a traditional single-blade safety razor, the angle at which you hold the blade can significantly change your shave experience. Henson's unique design features a flat shave plane, which makes it easy to maintain the optimal shave angle at all times. #razor #beard #selfcare

Put another way, the average cartridge shaver would double their cost 140x over the same time frame as a Henson shaver would double theirs once.

@KaiserSpurgonn We tend not to overprice our razors only to have them discounted often. We would rather keep them at a price that makes sense and is sustainable. For this reason, we do not plan on offering any sales or discounts on our razors at any time in the near future. Hope that makes sense

@sermons_com That's the point of the video. The blade in each razor is the same, but it's how the razor holds the blade that makes the difference.

@jakeeVAL You def want a single blade if you are getting in-growns. But if you haven't used a safety razor before, it can feel daunting. Totally get it. We think we've solved this for the most part but no hard sell here. Just want to be on the radar.
