With shaving, closer isn’t always better. Cartridge razor ads have spent years selling the idea that “closer” means better. But when several blades pass over the same spot, your skin ends up taking the hit. That pull-and-cut motion often leads to razor burn, bumps, and tiny nicks — irritation that’s usually worst in the most sensitive areas.
A great shave isn’t about cutting closer; it’s about shaving smoother. The goal is one clean pass that removes hair at the surface without dragging or scraping. That’s why so many people are turning to safety razors — they use a single, sharp blade to do the job cleanly and evenly.
That said, safety razors can take a bit of practice. You need to find the right angle and use a light touch — too much pressure, or using the wrong angle, and you’ll still get nicks and cuts.
Introducing Henson – the first easy to use safety razor
The Henson Razor takes all the guesswork out of shaving with a safety razor. The blade sits at a set angle, so you don’t have to worry about pressing too hard or adjusting your angles. You just let it glide, and it does the work for you.
That design comes from the company’s aerospace background — they made parts for satellites and the mars rover before making razors. And they still use the same level of engineering used to make aerospace parts. It means that every razor is made to exact standards, down to the smallest detail.
Because the blade is held so tight, it doesn’t wobble or chatter when you’re shaving. It stays steady, so the shave feels smooth and controlled, even on sensitive skin.
Other razors don’t have that level of engineering precision in how they’re made, which means there will be very small differences even when you buy the same model over and over. And that’s where you get the wobble and inconsistency, leading to razor burn and cuts.
The problem with that ‘just in time’ shave before you head out
Timing your shave always feels like a compromise. If you do it too early, there’s stubble; too late, and there’s still redness and bumps when you’re out. That’s because multi-blade razors lift and scrape the skin, leaving it sensitive.
With the Henson razor, you can shave on your own schedule — not your skin’s. It takes the stress out of timing everything perfectly. If you’re short on time and juggling hair, makeup, and what to wear, you can still squeeze in a quick shave without worrying as much about irritation or redness showing up later.
Then, when you’re actually out, you won’t feel those tiny sunburn-like flares every time fabric brushes your skin. You can just enjoy the night without thinking about redness or bumps.
Save thousands of dollars with the Henson Razor
The cost of cartridge razors add up. The handle might be cheap, but the refill packs never stop. A few dollars here and there turns into hundreds every year, just to keep replacing plastic.
The Henson flips that math completely. The handle is a one-time buy, and the blades you replace cost about ten cents each. Usually, blades will be switched out every week, so you’re spending only about $5 a year on “refills”.
Over time, that adds up to real savings. Literally thousands of dollars’ worth over years.
And because it’s made to last, you’re not buying another handle every few years, or another pack of overpriced refills every month. You buy it once, and you’re set.
The gift you’ll want to tell your friends about
Good gifts are the ones people use — great gifts are the ones they end up telling others about So when you find something that saves money, saves time, feels good, and lasts forever, it’s natural to want to share it.
The Henson razor is beautifully made and available in several colours, so you can gift it and make it personal. Whether it’s Copper, Tan, or Steel Blue, it’s one of those gifts that feels thoughtful without trying too hard.
And the best part is that it’ll last a lifetime. It’s the last razor you, or your friends, will ever buy.
