New to DE razor shaving and I've used this Henson razor for 2 weeks. Took me a few shaves to get used to the razor and I'm happy with it. Just purchased sample pack of other razor blades to try. In the meantime the RK blades from India customized for Henson work fine.

This is the third henson I have bought from Razor Emporium and I am not disappointed. I bought this to round out my henson set and to also just try the aggressive version and I will say it is just as good as the medium. Do not let the title aggressive scare you as I do believe the way they are made it is truly a safety razor.

As a relatively new DE shaver, I have amassed over 20 brands/models. From 1904 to 2022. Each with their own personality. After two weeks of ZERO cuts on average to coarse facial hair with a variety of razors, I can firmly attest the AL13 Aggressive has a scarier reputation than it delivers. Perfection minus a personal preference for a slightly heavier handle and one awful color choice. The RK blades supposedly designed for this model perform flawlessly. At $15 for 100 blades, that's a bargain using each blade 2x. One pass was quite enough for 90% of the face. Follow Matt's instructions and use cold water to rinse, Makes a huge difference.
