Henson Shaving AL13 Mild Safety Razor

The Henson AL13 Mild is precision engineering distilled to its essence. Machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T651 aluminium to tolerances of ±0.00025 inches, this razor deploys technology borrowed from aircraft manufacture for a task of profound simplicity: removing facial hair with surgical precision. This is not commodity equipment; this is Canadian aerospace manufacturing applied to the shaving protocol.

Operational Protocols

The Mild configuration suits sensitive assignments. The generous blade clearance forgives technique variations whilst maintaining control. Load your blade by unscrewing the handle—the precision engineering ensures consistent blade seating every deployment. The lightweight construction—merely 37 grams—enables extended operational periods without fatigue. At 30 degrees to the skin, the blade angle strikes the optimal balance between shaving efficiency and dermal comfort.

The closed comb design channels your technique; the machined surface finish provides reliable grip even under demanding conditions. Rinse under warm water post-deployment and allow to air dry. Anodised aluminium requires no conditioning; the aerospace-grade material resists corrosion indefinitely.

Complete The System

Your Henson AL13 Mild Safety Razor requires the right ammunition. The Henson Shaving Double Edge Razor Blades (pack of 5) are precision-specified to complement the AL13's unique geometry — the logical first addition to the operational kit. For equipment care between deployments, the Henson Shaving Razor Holder — machined from the same aerospace-grade aluminium — positions your razor for optimal drying and extends its operational lifespan.
