I saw this ad before and actually watched it because he genuinely look so concerned and profound pondering the meaning of the universe just so there can be a better razor lol. Look at his face, this is so important to him 😆 and if its that important to him...its kind of important to me. Salesmanship 👌
It's a well thought out sales pitch.. I'll give him that. The issue I have is their dishonesty saying that a de 89 head possesses too much razor blade exposure.. that's hogwash and I have called them out on it. They didn't have to stretch the truth to sell a few razors.. Just saying.
Goofy, they talk about shaving your face and then talk about Humans being satisfied with their product. They're scared to imply that men shave their faces lol. Notice how they say "shavers". There are plenty of other safety razors on Amazon. I'd love to be proven wrong though and here them state that men shave their faces, but they won't, guaranteed
I gotta say, this is one of the best ads I’ve seen. That fact that you’re not screaming at me to not skip the video, that you’re sitting in your shop with the machines running in the background, that you’re just talking and not reading directly from a script, it’s just so genuine. I don’t use razors to shave, I’ve been using a trimmer on a 1mm setting for years because shaving caused so much irritation to my face so I’ve just been living the scruff life. I don’t even like shaving. But I’m seriously considering buying one of your damn razors. Dammit. Good work, I hope y’all win.
Do it man. They're legit. The key to less irritated skin is prep work. Hot cloth to expand the pores and get some of the natural oil up. Use heated shave cream or butter. Whether chemically self heated (i can only recommend van der hagen's self heating stuff) or just warming a can of barbasol or whatever flavor cream or butter or gel you want. You can do this by wrapping a hot towel around the can. Or they even have special units for this now. After your shave rinse with cold water or preferably get another towel and soak it in the coldest water possible. If you have access to icewater, great. Or even just using an ice cube. Put the cold towel on your face or rub the icecube over the freshly shaved areas. This will help close up your pores and alleviate minor irritations and redness and can even close up small knicks and cuts. Then use a nice after shave balm. Duke Cannon's after shave balm ice cold is what I've been using for the past two or three years. Edit; I also recommend first shaving "with the grain" and then a second time "against the grain" for best results. Re-applying the cream/gel/butter between going with and against is your choice, but I've never found it to be necessary. Also if your hair is really short you can probably just go against the grain... But this kinda depends how coarse your hair is as well.
Dude, I am 43, on the spectrum, with sensitive skin, and used to do the same thing: I hated shaving so much that I would just use my electric trimmer at 1mm. I've been looking for a great razor my whole adult life, and everything until the AL13 left me wanting! This razor is amazing. It does exactly what he says they wanted their razor to do. I'm so glad that I found this thing. I know your comment is a year old now, but if you haven't bought one, go do it!
the guy is selling a freaking razor blade not a frigging automobile..but did not seel me on why I shoudld pay twice as much as a premium Gillette blade..go figure. It is not an ad it is a statement.
Hey there! Did you end up getting one? I heard of Henson last year, but it took me that whole year to finally decide to get one. I'm impressed. I used to use disposable cartridges on my legs and armpits. I never shaved in the winter to give my skin a break. When I shave every day, my armpits get bubbly, ingrown hairs, infected, and hyperpigmented. My legs wouldn't be that bad, but it would still get ingrown hairs and slightly irritated. I tried the Henson, and I can't even feel the blade! I've been shaving my underarms every day with it, and there is no sign of irritation! It's actually helped clear up my previous irritation. So I know everyone's skin is different, but I hope you give them a try. They do have a 100-day guarantee
This was one of the few ads I actually watched on RUclips. I too was pulled in by his enthusiasm for making shaving suck less. I bought his razor and . . . It delivers! It’s the best shave I’ve had short of paying a guy with a handlebar mustache to work me over with a straight razor. Thanks, mate! Your product rocks!
This is my first ever razor. Meaning I've learned how to shave with this, and I've only ever used this. And coming from me, an absolute novice who still doesn't even know what the difference between shaving creams, and soaps, this is an absolutely fantastic razor. I get a baby smooth face after three passes, with grain, across grain, and against grain. Zero pain at all. Amazing grip, amazing style, and amazing shave. Seriously, if you are wondering if this is worth it, stop wondering and just buy it. I may use this razor for ever as its just so great. But even if I decide to switch out, I will be sticking with DE razors. So thanks Henson, this is a wonderful lifetime product that has introduced me to shaving.
finished my first shave with the henson and i must say it's so smooth. no razor burn no irritation, just a smooth experience. i'm glad i can finally move away from buying cartridges. 10/10
I know I've already commented... But this razor changed my life. So much so that i bought two more to give to my two best friends, and both of them said to me "thank you so much man. I always wondered why I couldn't shave everyday without my skin becoming irritated and simply thought I had sensitive skin. But once I tried the Henson razor, I can now shave every day and have no problems!"
I don't know why this ad caught my attention. I make a point of ignoring RUclips Ads, but this one got me. Your honesty, integrity, and passion are refreshing. And they're cheap! For a razor that would last a lifetime I was expecting a $200 touch, but you guys deliver on every point! I have a Mercur and I don't have any problems with it (so can't justify the waste to switch), but I might try and convince my wife to get this, or when my boys need razors I'll steer them here for sure.
@@Yujiro945 Yes actually there is. It's not much, but it makes a difference. I use the mild version for daily shaving, and use the medium version if I'm going to shave every other day
I just bought one of these and tried it and did my first shave .I have to admit I am very impressed it is definitely a different shaving experience .it slides across your face and head a lot easier than a cartridge razor but the learning curve is extremely short . I like it so much I'm buying one for my father for xmas
Wow guys, you really knocked it out of the Park with the new iteration of your razor. The new razor is just incredible. I love your razors, I have the Mild, Medium, and aggressive( limited production) aluminum. I ordered the new iteration of the medium aluminum, and you improved everything that needed to be improved. I just had my first shave with this new razor and I enjoy it even more. Well done, WELL DONE !
@@oneaburns They are both excellent razors, but i'd pick the mild if I had to pick one. I am basically a daily shaver, both head and face, so I really appreciate good mild razors. There are only a few razors I can use daily without feeling like I have overshaved at some point during the week. The Henson mild is one of those razors I can shave with every day head and face while still getting BBS. The mild also has no issue taking down several days of growth as well. I only have one other razor that is even close to the same level as this razor for daily shaves.
I got the Henson razor and it is truly the best I’ve ever used. You can tell the difference. Such a close shave and it glides across skin like butter. I will never go back to anything else. Showing it off to everyone I know!
"designed to fail.. we're all just pawns in this game of who can buy more product, that they know is going to fail, so that they buy more product" dam, randy was right.. *_T_* *_E_* *_G_* *_R_* *_I_* *_T_* *_Y_*
I wish my hair grew faster. I literally can't wait to shave again. It's that enjoyable of a shaving experience. It's weird to be this excited about shaving but by golly you've done it. Bravo!
I'd easily pay $100+ for this razor. I've owned 5 or 6 razors over the years including the $100+ rockwell and the Henson is by far the best one ever. Tremendous grip, never slips out of soapy hands. Comfortable close shaves and never a nick. Precision engineering makes a difference. Love the light weight of the aluminum. Don't see how the razor can be improved after the Henson. In my opinion, there's nothing left to improve.
I shave my head regularly. I bought this razor on the strength of this ad and the endorsements in the Instagram comments. Got it today. Closest shave I've ever had, no razor burn, no cuts. Miraculous.
Great product love shaving with it. The old safety razors used to cut me 4 to 7 times per shave. That is why we have these crazy cartridge systems today.
I bought it because i hated the burning sensation after shaving. And i came across the henson ads on facebook and it was my first time to consider buying safety razor. At first i kinda regret buying it because it didnt shave well. But after using it several times i realized i just needed to get used to it. Now i love it and i actually look forward to shaving 😂 one of the best purchases this year.
Just got mine in the mail today. I have experience with classic double edged safety razors and every kind of cartridge razor from 1 to 5 blades. I haven't used it on my face... But, I did test it, on my bare skin without so much as water. Got right down to the skin in one pass and caused NO irritation. The only way I was able to get cartridge razors to last was to use a water-pic to blast out the old crud lol (I shaved my areolas ok. Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to)
Have the AL13. Love it. Plan to use it for many years to come. I was already using a classic safety razor prior to this (Baxter's of California), but the Henson is really on another level.
I'm 61. My father got me an electric when I was 18. I've used electrics almost all my life. Though there was a period of a year or two in my 30's when I switched to twin-blade disposables. I decided I liked electric better and went back. Electric has been mostly "okay". Takes several passes and still leaves some. But was overall better than the twin-blade disposables. This is my first time to use a safety razor, and yet I splurged and got the titanium having never tried a safety razor. Kinda risky to invest that much for my first time using a safety razor. But I was pretty confident I would like this, so I went for it.
I'd love to have one of your razors, because I'm sick and tired of using up a cartridge razor every 3 shavings (I have a very sensitive skin and yet, very tough facial hair). But then, I'm afraid I can't afford 70 USD for your product, because in my part of the world (Poland) the 70$ turns into 300$ (the money exchange rate issue and the difference in average income). This is why we can't have good things lol. But, you've inspired me to try to find a safety razor that won't suck and ditch the cartridges.
This is only the 2nd Ad in what is likely 700+ utube ads I've seen by otherz that made me buy the product. Popped up one day before a video. And just like that, a sale was made.
Fantastic razor. Been wet shaving for a long time with either a safety razor or straight razor. Excellent shaving experience, we'll made and will shave as close or better than more expensive open comb razor . Virtually impossible to cut yourself.
Excited to receive mine and have read some fair comprehensive reviews. I really do hope they have a way for their customer base to openly discuss feedback on the design so they can make an improved variant moving forwards.
I have thought about this razor for over a year. I took the plunger and bought one 5 minutes ago after realizing that I haven't shaved in 4 days due to my skin beginning incredibly sensitive this week. I'm very excited.
Ad kept popping on Instagram and have not used anything but electric razor for a long time. I’m so glad I got one. It is a fantastic shave and my face feels great. Highly recommended.
Never had a issue with double edge safety razor clogging and hard to clean unless full beard growth, even then it easily rinsed by either opening up doors then rinse or swish vigorously in water.If I had a full beard growth I would just use a open comb slant razor.
Just bought this from a Tech guy on youtube's sponsorship (Renee Ritchie) so I'm waiting to use this. Word of advice... never EVER get involved in social justice stuff and you will be successful. All the best.
I love how this feels like someone who genuinely wanted to make the best product themselves because they knew they could apply their skills as a airplane parts designer into a razor. It just benefits everyone and adds quality in a place where everything is clearly cheap and badly engineered.
While I do believe you as a company have a great contribution to wet shaving, I disagree with the sales pitch that the wet shaving industry was broken or purposely made so .. A de 89 razor head is hardly anything but a mild razor and it's barely medium and has no real blade exposure.. I also believe that if you'd do the wet shaving community a favor and release both aggressive razor plate options and stainless steel razors for purchase you'd get a rise in sales and you'd be able to reach more in the community.. This is a gracious critique and in no way bashing the products you have gentlemen.
I purchased this product earlier this summer. Very high quality. I now feel it was a little bit of a mistake buying a single-blade safety razor to be used as my sole shaver. I've been using the Gillette Mach 5 for many years. The Mach 5 has five (5) blades working, not a single blade. I don't believe the false hype about reduced "chatter" with a precision single-blade safety razor. The Mach 5 cartridges (and others) have been on the market for decades and the manufacturers have perfected their designs over the years. I personally get the best shave using a cartridge razor. I work from home and shave every 1-2 weeks, so I don't have to change out my cartridge but once every 2-3 months. So, I am a special low-use case. HOWEVER, with all of that said, I think the single blade razor is perfect for the initial 1-2 passes to get the major stuff to avoid dulling out the cartridge. Then, use the cartridge for the final pass and touch-ups to get a smooth shave.
I just got a Henson Al13 mild for Christmas. I’ve had two shaves so far and got plenty of nicks with bleeding while shaving and my neck is irritated after today’s shave. So far my 5 blade cartridge gives me a better shave.
I tried the Henson "Safety" Razor, the shave is smooth but I cut myself TWICE in a just a couple of weeks. With an electric razor or a bic, the shave is not as good but I have never cut myself. Any tip or alternate suggestion would be appreciated.
It is very difficult to cut yourself with Henson razors. We would love the opportunity to troubleshoot with you. If you shoot us a message to support@hensonshaving.com we can go through the details with you!
It would be nice to sell the head of the razer for different aggressions level. Or a package with one handle and diffrent shaving ends. I would think that would help to have less broken industry.
Seems you've got yourself a customer in me- when I find it's as effective as advertised I shall then fan the blaze that eviscerates the flawed shaving razor market.
I'm damn lucky to own this razor, and I'm actively suggesting it's use to my family members. My AL-13 is the bomb. It's what's up. Quick tip- the RK stainless custom blades are asymmetric! They are labeled 4 & 3, and do provide significant differences in the type of shaving. The 3 side is great for knocking down longer hair, and the 4 side takes the hair down to the skin.
Just saw one of your ads. 100 blades 12bucks?? If that's the case, you just made every guys day... and when you currently pay 25 bucks for just a few blades, you proly just made a whole lot of enemies in the industry. WELL DONE SIR, WELL DONE.
That price point is not uncommon for double edge safety razors. I use Gillete Silver Blue and it's about $16 for 100 blades on Amazon. It definitely varies from brand to brand, but you pay significantly less per blade for DE blades than you do for cartridge blades. Depending on how coarse and thick your hair is, you get between 3-6 good shaves before you should change blades. Personally I go through about 2 blades a month, maybe 3 if I decide to shave more often. But even going through 1 blade a week, 100 blades is still almost 2 full years of shaving 🤷♀️
@@Aramillio yea I realize what they were soon as I wrote that comment. They're just a little different form factor is all. You're back to the horse and buggy using a safety razor although I should give it a try again. Insane paying 35-40$ for the triple blade refills. Complete robbery.
I have been eyeing this razor since I seen the Fat Electrician promoted it. Now I finally ordered mine and I can not wait. Finally I can finally throw away the air blade after every shave.
It was recommended to open a little by unscrewing it, clean and dry after each use. I followed the instructions. However, I forgot to close it in my next use and cut myself badly.
Am an Englishman in Pretoria. I am 64 and have been shaving since 1977. My first razor was a Gillette G2 2 blade cartridge razor. I've upgraded to every Gillete multiblade cartrige iteration since. My latest being the Gillette Fusion Pro Glide. 5 years back Gillette releases an advert that is sanctimonious, woke and misandrist. It irritated the living crap out of me. I vowed to get away from the brand, but not until I found an as good or better replacement. I recently heard about the Henson Al13. After a worrying amount of due diligence, I shipped one, plus 100 blades. Cost USD$80 plus shipping and 15% VAT. I'm only 3 days in and it's a transformative revelation. It is so smooth. It shaves alot closer, is better around awkard bits, such as under the nose and leaves zero irritation. I am completely sold and shall be sticking with it. I also intend to evangelise for it and buy a few as gifts. Starting with my wife, who will be getting the blue Al13 soon. I have shaved in the shower for decades. I use Kings or Nuagé (slightly more viscous) shaving oil and the ShaveWell 5x magnifying mirror (Amazon). Go well!
Thanks for reaching out! We tend not to over price the product only to have it discounted often. We would rather keep the razor at a price that makes sense and is sustainable. For this reason, we do not plan on our products going on sale or offering discount codes any time in the near future. Hope that makes sense.
Even its expensive in Denmark and dosen´t come with blades i did just get the Mild might even be to mild we´ll see when i get it Danisk Kroner 575,- USD 81,34 thats a chunk of money
No sign up razor blade subscription, but I am stuck to buying your blades, which isn't any different in the long run. My safety razor isn't much different than yours.
Henson Shaving doesn't make blades. They sell other people's blades on their store but you don't need to buy it from them, buy your blades from anywhere. There is no proprietary blade stuff with their razor.
You have a red one in the video. I would have bought that one if it was listed rather than the black one. If you sell a red one, I'll buy it and gift away my black one to a family member
I just got my razor and it was the worst shaving experience of my life. I had to shave 4 times and I was still prickly. It gave me so many cuts my face was covered in blood. Now it looks like I can't return bc their 30 day return policy is only if you don't use it???
It’s so weird that this the best film take, and the pitch to investors. He stares at the floor, acts like he doesn’t care, grandiosely says everyone else makes crap, and then goes on to say the company doesn’t want to make money. All for an $70 razor.
Eh it’s a fair price if it uses zero plastic. You want zero wobble at all, which is what most razors allow. Theres a reason why there’s a 10$ screw and a 1,000$ screw and they look the same
I need to see a comparison between your product and the 5-blade cartridge razors. You argue that cartridges clog easily. Not if I rinse after each stroke. Stop using that bs point, because it’s not a problem if you rinse regularly. Show me the results compared to a cartridge. Show me the closeness per stroke. Show me that it’s the best thing I can use as I’m transitioning so that I don’t have a 5:00 shadow by noon. Show me that it makes skin less irritated than a cartridge from dsc. I have a geology degree. I want science. Show me your product is better. Nobody does a comparison to a cartridge, and my life doesn’t give me the time or mental freedom to risk having a shadow rise through my concealer and foundation.
I had assumed someone concerned about the shaving industry would at least have reached puberty and started growing facial hair... Was it too much to ask??
The only thing missing in this ad was sad emotional violins playing In background then uplifting cheesy music when he starts explains how they don’t care about making a lot of money 🤣 sticking to Gillette cartridge razors they have never emotionally scarred me.
You do you. I’m sure Gillette cares deeply about you. Meanwhile, these are better and cheaper in the long run. Brand loyalty to a fault is a thing apparently.
"we knew the industry seemed intentionally broken" : translation: "people who buy razors seemed like suckers to us, so we really wanted to get in on that money and convince them to give us their money instead". Like come on lol, why is everything a conspiracy now. Big razor or some bs 😂. I bought a safety razor and a box of 300 blades for less than $30 6 years ago and it still going fine and I've had zero issues. These dumb niche ad companies like Dr squatch piss me off
He's not wrong more and more products fall to planned obsolescence your one story isn't the only many of these companies admit to this practices as its not only legal and profitable most likely it won't ever be illegal
While Henson seems like a unique concept,I still say that the shaving industry isn't entirely broken. Sure cartridges are a broken over priced thing, and I believe that they have maybe a niche market in a niche market, but simply don't say that it's all broken. Because people can use the de 89 r89 safety razor heads and the blade exposure on the standard and clone heads of these aren't bad and they're basically the ideal beginner safety razor..
Bro what does woke mean does woke mean anything you don't like does woke mean black people if a black person appears on the ad will you say they've brought politics in ads and they've gone woke
@@kringle7804stop pretending woke means black people. Woke is purposely going out of the way to add propaganda for no reason other than to virtue signal. Every white company is required to have “more black people”, but every black company doesn’t have to do shit because “diversity” just means less white people

I'd easily pay $100+ for this razor. I've owned 5 or 6 razors over the years including the $100+ rockwell and the Henson is by far the best one ever. Tremendous grip, never slips out of soapy hands. Comfortable close shaves and never a nick. Precision engineering makes a difference. Love the light weight of the aluminum. Don't see how the razor can be improved after the Henson. In my opinion, there's nothing left to improve.
Just got mine and its great and no pain while shaving it felt different then any razor I've used. Thanks
The Henson AL-13 mild is a fantastic razor, one of my favourites.
Thanks and best regards.
I shave my head regularly. I bought this razor on the strength of this ad and the endorsements in the Instagram comments. Got it today. Closest shave I've ever had, no razor burn, no cuts. Miraculous.
Just ordered my Henson. Can't wait to try it.
Great product love shaving with it. The old safety razors used to cut me 4 to 7 times per shave. That is why we have these crazy cartridge systems today.
I bought it because i hated the burning sensation after shaving. And i came across the henson ads on facebook and it was my first time to consider buying safety razor. At first i kinda regret buying it because it didnt shave well. But after using it several times i realized i just needed to get used to it. Now i love it and i actually look forward to shaving 😂 one of the best purchases this year.
Just got mine in the mail today. I have experience with classic double edged safety razors and every kind of cartridge razor from 1 to 5 blades. I haven't used it on my face... But, I did test it, on my bare skin without so much as water. Got right down to the skin in one pass and caused NO irritation.
The only way I was able to get cartridge razors to last was to use a water-pic to blast out the old crud lol
(I shaved my areolas ok. Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to)
Just received my AL13 after trying a friend's. Absolutely awesome buy. Fantastic product!
I like the Henson razor so far. Seems well made and is easy to use.
Have the AL13. Love it. Plan to use it for many years to come. I was already using a classic safety razor prior to this (Baxter's of California), but the Henson is really on another level.
I'm 61. My father got me an electric when I was 18. I've used electrics almost all my life. Though there was a period of a year or two in my 30's when I switched to twin-blade disposables. I decided I liked electric better and went back. Electric has been mostly "okay". Takes several passes and still leaves some. But was overall better than the twin-blade disposables. This is my first time to use a safety razor, and yet I splurged and got the titanium having never tried a safety razor. Kinda risky to invest that much for my first time using a safety razor. But I was pretty confident I would like this, so I went for it.
I'd love to have one of your razors, because I'm sick and tired of using up a cartridge razor every 3 shavings (I have a very sensitive skin and yet, very tough facial hair). But then, I'm afraid I can't afford 70 USD for your product, because in my part of the world (Poland) the 70$ turns into 300$ (the money exchange rate issue and the difference in average income). This is why we can't have good things lol. But, you've inspired me to try to find a safety razor that won't suck and ditch the cartridges.
This is only the 2nd Ad in what is likely 700+ utube ads I've seen by otherz that made me buy the product. Popped up one day before a video. And just like that, a sale was made.
Fantastic razor. Been wet shaving for a long time with either a safety razor or straight razor. Excellent shaving experience, we'll made and will shave as close or better than more expensive open comb razor . Virtually impossible to cut yourself.
Double edged safety razors are the best. Very economical and blades are cheap. Best shave ever. I use the murkur 34c
Excited to receive mine and have read some fair comprehensive reviews. I really do hope they have a way for their customer base to openly discuss feedback on the design so they can make an improved variant moving forwards.
I have thought about this razor for over a year. I took the plunger and bought one 5 minutes ago after realizing that I haven't shaved in 4 days due to my skin beginning incredibly sensitive this week.
I'm very excited.
Ad kept popping on Instagram and have not used anything but electric razor for a long time. I’m so glad I got one. It is a fantastic shave and my face feels great. Highly recommended.
I love it when somebody loves their product so much. If I didn't have a beard, I would've been sold.
Never had a issue with double edge safety razor clogging and hard to clean unless full beard growth, even then it easily rinsed by either opening up doors then rinse or swish vigorously in water.If I had a full beard growth I would just use a open comb slant razor.
I’ve ordered mine tonight and cannot wait!
Yeah. The Medium version rocks. Just switched from Harry’s. There’s a learning curve but very forgiving nonetheless.
Just bought this from a Tech guy on youtube's sponsorship (Renee Ritchie) so I'm waiting to use this.
Word of advice... never EVER get involved in social justice stuff and you will be successful.
All the best.
Nice blades! One trick I found how to double the life of the blade is to flip the blades. Take the blades out and insert it the opposite way.
What a cool idea.
I love how this feels like someone who genuinely wanted to make the best product themselves because they knew they could apply their skills as a airplane parts designer into a razor. It just benefits everyone and adds quality in a place where everything is clearly cheap and badly engineered.
What stores sell them
While I do believe you as a company have a great contribution to wet shaving, I disagree with the sales pitch that the wet shaving industry was broken or purposely made so ..
A de 89 razor head is hardly anything but a mild razor and it's barely medium and has no real blade exposure..
I also believe that if you'd do the wet shaving community a favor and release both aggressive razor plate options and stainless steel razors for purchase you'd get a rise in sales and you'd be able to reach more in the community..
This is a gracious critique and in no way bashing the products you have gentlemen.
I purchased this product earlier this summer. Very high quality. I now feel it was a little bit of a mistake buying a single-blade safety razor to be used as my sole shaver. I've been using the Gillette Mach 5 for many years. The Mach 5 has five (5) blades working, not a single blade. I don't believe the false hype about reduced "chatter" with a precision single-blade safety razor. The Mach 5 cartridges (and others) have been on the market for decades and the manufacturers have perfected their designs over the years. I personally get the best shave using a cartridge razor. I work from home and shave every 1-2 weeks, so I don't have to change out my cartridge but once every 2-3 months. So, I am a special low-use case.
HOWEVER, with all of that said, I think the single blade razor is perfect for the initial 1-2 passes to get the major stuff to avoid dulling out the cartridge. Then, use the cartridge for the final pass and touch-ups to get a smooth shave.
I saw this after I bought a Henson, and I have to agree. I agreed so much I bought my girlfriend one. Xx
Probably going to buy one because if this add. Im sold
I just got a Henson Al13 mild for Christmas. I’ve had two shaves so far and got plenty of nicks with bleeding while shaving and my neck is irritated after today’s shave. So far my 5 blade cartridge gives me a better shave.
Our team would be happy to troubleshoot this with you. You can reach out to us at support@hensonshaving.com if interested.
I had the same experience. My face was covered in blood n still prickly after shaving 4 times.
I bought one, love it
I liked this commercial
Love my Henson wish I bought the tan color bought the black
I tried the Henson "Safety" Razor, the shave is smooth but I cut myself TWICE in a just a couple of weeks. With an electric razor or a bic, the shave is not as good but I have never cut myself. Any tip or alternate suggestion would be appreciated.
It is very difficult to cut yourself with Henson razors. We would love the opportunity to troubleshoot with you. If you shoot us a message to support@hensonshaving.com we can go through the details with you!
@@HensonShavingyea right, I cut myself so bad with my first shave 5 minutes ago and my face was covered in blood
I'm just curious as to what that arcade-cabinet-looking machine behind him is.
It would be nice to sell the head of the razer for different aggressions level. Or a package with one handle and diffrent shaving ends.
I would think that would help to have less broken industry.
Seems you've got yourself a customer in me- when I find it's as effective as advertised I shall then fan the blaze that eviscerates the flawed shaving razor market.
I'm damn lucky to own this razor, and I'm actively suggesting it's use to my family members. My AL-13 is the bomb. It's what's up. Quick tip- the RK stainless custom blades are asymmetric! They are labeled 4 & 3, and do provide significant differences in the type of shaving. The 3 side is great for knocking down longer hair, and the 4 side takes the hair down to the skin.
Just saw one of your ads. 100 blades 12bucks??
If that's the case, you just made every guys day...
and when you currently pay 25 bucks for just a few blades, you proly just made a whole lot of enemies in the industry.
WELL DONE SIR, WELL DONE.
That price point is not uncommon for double edge safety razors. I use Gillete Silver Blue and it's about $16 for 100 blades on Amazon. It definitely varies from brand to brand, but you pay significantly less per blade for DE blades than you do for cartridge blades.
Depending on how coarse and thick your hair is, you get between 3-6 good shaves before you should change blades.
Personally I go through about 2 blades a month, maybe 3 if I decide to shave more often.
But even going through 1 blade a week, 100 blades is still almost 2 full years of shaving 🤷♀️
@@Aramillio yea I realize what they were soon as I wrote that comment. They're just a little different form factor is all.
You're back to the horse and buggy using a safety razor although I should give it a try again. Insane paying 35-40$ for the triple blade refills.
Complete robbery.
@@monroe2245those triple blade refills are more expensive for MUCH lower quality. Plastic should never be holding a razor in place.
I love this razor, never buying anything else again on that front.
I have been eyeing this razor since I seen the Fat Electrician promoted it. Now I finally ordered mine and I can not wait. Finally I can finally throw away the air blade after every shave.
Which are the best blades ,?
The question ist which are the best blades for YOU !
It was recommended to open a little by unscrewing it, clean and dry after each use. I followed the instructions. However, I forgot to close it in my next use and cut myself badly.
$70 for the razor… hmmm, tough sell
Yea 70 bucks then extremely cheap razor replacements from that day until you die. Lifetime warranty.
@@jaredsilvers2782 I think you mean: extremely cheap razor replacements until they go out of business.
Saw this ad, had to come here and like for the truth bombs. Based.
I want one
very effective advertisement.
Am an Englishman in Pretoria. I am 64 and have been shaving since 1977. My first razor was a Gillette G2 2 blade cartridge razor. I've upgraded to every Gillete multiblade cartrige iteration since. My latest being the Gillette Fusion Pro Glide.
5 years back Gillette releases an advert that is sanctimonious, woke and misandrist. It irritated the living crap out of me. I vowed to get away from the brand, but not until I found an as good or better replacement. I recently heard about the Henson Al13. After a worrying amount of due diligence, I shipped one, plus 100 blades. Cost USD$80 plus shipping and 15% VAT.
I'm only 3 days in and it's a transformative revelation. It is so smooth. It shaves alot closer, is better around awkard bits, such as under the nose and leaves zero irritation. I am completely sold and shall be sticking with it. I also intend to evangelise for it and buy a few as gifts. Starting with my wife, who will be getting the blue Al13 soon.
I have shaved in the shower for decades. I use Kings or Nuagé (slightly more viscous) shaving oil and the ShaveWell 5x magnifying mirror (Amazon).
Go well!
Im gonna try henson
The comments are full of bots sent by cartridge razor companies 🤣🤣🤣
Coupon code?
Thanks for reaching out! We tend not to over price the product only to have it discounted often. We would rather keep the razor at a price that makes sense and is sustainable. For this reason, we do not plan on our products going on sale or offering discount codes any time in the near future. Hope that makes sense.
Check nowyouknow youtube channel they have a code. I just bought mine should be here tomorrow. I'll update.
@@larryw.7311 thank you it gave me free razors with my purchase it was nowyouknow
@hensonshaving such great integrity
SH it
Even its expensive in Denmark and dosen´t come with blades i did just get the Mild might even be to mild we´ll see when i get it Danisk Kroner 575,- USD 81,34 thats a chunk of money
"We knew blah blah blah.."
No sign up razor blade subscription, but I am stuck to buying your blades, which isn't any different in the long run. My safety razor isn't much different than yours.
Henson Shaving doesn't make blades. They sell other people's blades on their store but you don't need to buy it from them, buy your blades from anywhere. There is no proprietary blade stuff with their razor.
You have a red one in the video. I would have bought that one if it was listed rather than the black one.
If you sell a red one, I'll buy it and gift away my black one to a family member
We no longer make the red.
I just got my razor and it was the worst shaving experience of my life. I had to shave 4 times and I was still prickly. It gave me so many cuts my face was covered in blood. Now it looks like I can't return bc their 30 day return policy is only if you don't use it???
planned obsolescence.
Panasonic Arc 5 and the new Arc 6 are incredibly engineered and rival blade shaving.
It’s so weird that this the best film take, and the pitch to investors. He stares at the floor, acts like he doesn’t care, grandiosely says everyone else makes crap, and then goes on to say the company doesn’t want to make money.
All for an $70 razor.
Eh it’s a fair price if it uses zero plastic. You want zero wobble at all, which is what most razors allow. Theres a reason why there’s a 10$ screw and a 1,000$ screw and they look the same
Bahahahahaha………I have now seen everything.
I need to see a comparison between your product and the 5-blade cartridge razors. You argue that cartridges clog easily. Not if I rinse after each stroke. Stop using that bs point, because it’s not a problem if you rinse regularly. Show me the results compared to a cartridge. Show me the closeness per stroke. Show me that it’s the best thing I can use as I’m transitioning so that I don’t have a 5:00 shadow by noon. Show me that it makes skin less irritated than a cartridge from dsc. I have a geology degree. I want science. Show me your product is better. Nobody does a comparison to a cartridge, and my life doesn’t give me the time or mental freedom to risk having a shadow rise through my concealer and foundation.
confident unsure statements
so accurate
I had assumed someone concerned about the shaving industry would at least have reached puberty and started growing facial hair...
Was it too much to ask??
He grows facial hair rapidly man the razor is just THAT good......
Would be my reply if I was them.
The only thing missing in this ad was sad emotional violins playing In background then uplifting cheesy music when he starts explains how they don’t care about making a lot of money 🤣 sticking to Gillette cartridge razors they have never emotionally scarred me.
LOL! But I like the guy!
Gillette will thank you for your money.
You do you. I’m sure Gillette cares deeply about you.
Meanwhile, these are better and cheaper in the long run. Brand loyalty to a fault is a thing apparently.
Y’all should change the name to beta shaving. Can have trout for the logo lmao
Its hilarious seeing the obviously fake bot comments that this crappy "company" got to unload in their comments
"we knew the industry seemed intentionally broken" : translation: "people who buy razors seemed like suckers to us, so we really wanted to get in on that money and convince them to give us their money instead". Like come on lol, why is everything a conspiracy now. Big razor or some bs 😂. I bought a safety razor and a box of 300 blades for less than $30 6 years ago and it still going fine and I've had zero issues. These dumb niche ad companies like Dr squatch piss me off
Lmao so true
He's not wrong more and more products fall to planned obsolescence your one story isn't the only many of these companies admit to this practices as its not only legal and profitable most likely it won't ever be illegal
I think it's funny that a guy with virtually no face hair needs to reinvent a razor.🤣. Am I convinced?... hardly!!! 😆
This design is FAR from new. It's been around for more than a hundred years lol. Just a double-edge safety razor.
This is such a sloppily done ad 😂
While Henson seems like a unique concept,I still say that the shaving industry isn't entirely broken.
Sure cartridges are a broken over priced thing, and I believe that they have maybe a niche market in a niche market, but simply don't say that it's all broken.
Because people can use the de 89 r89 safety razor heads and the blade exposure on the standard and clone heads of these aren't bad and they're basically the ideal beginner safety razor..
So many words and yet so little said
Wow, you dont know how to clean a Mach3? Just push the water through the back of the razor blades, not the front.
That absolutely does not always work dude.
@@jaredsilvers2782 Never had any problem. Maybe your beard is thicker than mine!
the tools may be great but this might be the whiniest ad I've ever seen.
This dude is phony…
Best shave I've ever had. Thanks to that chubby electron guy for recommending your razor.
got mine last week . great experience
Liiiittle note to the owners:
If I buy this razor.......and EVER find out that you've gone woke; it won't be good.
Bro what does woke mean does woke mean anything you don't like does woke mean black people if a black person appears on the ad will you say they've brought politics in ads and they've gone woke
@@kringle7804stop pretending woke means black people. Woke is purposely going out of the way to add propaganda for no reason other than to virtue signal. Every white company is required to have “more black people”, but every black company doesn’t have to do shit because “diversity” just means less white people
