That's a really clever idea to loosen the handle to get the blade to stick out more.

In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it cool in PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Wheelchair Larry Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary?

Great review

How do you get it for $49.99?

what straight razor do you use my friend

I have an Ambassador sitting in the box, this video confirms my initial impression that this is just too much razor for me at this point. Been rocking double edged razors for a whole two months now, so the Rex will make an appearance once I have improved my technique. Thanks for the tip on blade choice!

Excellent review. Thanks!!!!

Back when i was clean shaven i enjoyed Col. Conk shave soap along with Clubman. Now i have a beard and im in the market for a really good razor to maintain my beard and a close shave. Any recommendations? Definitely tired of these crappy razors out there

Yes, this model is nothing. You should try the Rockwell T2SS. A big difference. I have only heard very positive reviews of that! 👋😀👍

Great review! A top class safety razor with excellent quality! 👋😀👍

my Simpson T3 Trafalgar is the best brush on the market today it's like buying a $200 badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a badger hair can, cheap to buy, i have owned it for 5 years with no problems wheelchair Larry

Shave Pucks or hard soaps will work? You can mix and match old soaps? to fit in any mug or cup that you like to use. you can use any hard soaps like Mitchell's Wool Fat? Cut the bar soap up, put in a mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, microwave for a minute or so? if it foams up, stop. easy does it? let cool you just went it to congeal' place in the sun, until soap hardens use dry brush more water i use Dove soaps there cheap and good wheelchair Larry Merry Christmas

I love those products... i love the black vanilla

Odd. Your videos have only a few hundred views a piece until you made this, your last video, which has over 46,000 views. Then you disappeared. Doing ok?

After 7 years of the Feather AS-D2, I found the Henson is a better design, the feather blade exposure wasn't consistent, sometimes I had to unscrew and re-center the blade in order to get a symmetrical blade exposure on both sides, the Henson fixed that issue, I don't have to think about it anymore. Also it is very forgiving, I couldn't get away with sloppy technique, when I was in a hurry with the feather, with this I can be a little sloppy and don't pay much attention when I'm in a hurry and generally can get away with it. I have the thickest beard, shave everyday and the mild works just fine, just make sure to get the correct blade for your beard/face. Only thing I don't like is the weight, Perhaps the titanium version is a little heavier but coming from a heavy stainless steel razor this takes some shaves to get used to. Hope this helps someone.

Is it possible to get a close shave with this razor. I got mine a couple of days ago and have found the cut is not as clean and smooth as advertised at least to me. Any suggestions?

For whatever reason they only sell Black, Blue Steel, raw aluminum, Tan, and Copper now… When did shaving become a hobby 🤔

Nice shave and very womderul lessons. Thank you so much.👍🏾 Please can you give an estimate on rhe blade gap on this razor? 🤔

I don’t have many razors, - the Viking Chieftain, Merkur Futur, and the Feather AS-2DS I bought the Ambassador XL as soon as it became available on the UK market. The XL is so good it’s made my other razors redundant. The XL is my go to razor and every shave is just pleasurable. The price can be a little off putting but I would recommend this razor to everyone. Nowadays with the likes of PayPal, Klarna etc you can even spread the cost. You won’t be disappointed. The first blade I used was the Astra SP. I’m a practical guy and it was the box I had open at the time. It was a great shave. Now I mainly use a Feather blade dialled up to 5 - 5.5 and it’s awesome every time. For some unknown reason I decided to put in a Voskchod blade last night and it blew me away! It literally felt like there was no blade in it at all. 3 passes, alittle touch up here and I was done. I used some alum block to check I hadn’t overdone it but there was no stinging,perfect.

Henson is the bud lite of razors, wasteful to have to buy 3 razors because they cant do the technology to make an adjustable razor: SHAMEFULL

It’s a shame this isn’t still going.

I love my Henson AL13 mild (original). It shaves well for me. It is a fantastic razor for those making the transition from a cartridge razor to DE shaving. It will not be loved by all.

same here, like Canadian Bacon !

I've been using several razors for a while, but once I got my Henson razor I've only used it. I LOVEEEEE the mild design, and the way it avoids nicks and cuts. I also like its light weight. I find it easier to manipulate than my heavier razors, so much so I just gave my son my Rockwell 6s razor as I no longer used it. I didn't like having to fuss around choosing which part to use (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), and I didn't LIKE how heavy that razor is. To each her/his own, but at 84 years old, yet fairly new to using these kinds of razors, I'm VERY happy with my Henson black razor....

The Meta-4 is SS.. you still prefer the Prismatic to that PAA offering? If so, why?

Was it the mild or the medium?

The price is now $69.99.

I have the medium model and like it. I find it less prone to cause nicks compared to many other razors. Also, I find it easier to work around the under the nose area. Of interest as a Canadian my specimen came in a smaller box and a paltry 5 blade pack of blades made in India which I would rate as the worst blade I ever used. This razor is very blade sensitive. As for the author of this video I suggest trying the medium razor.

I didn't like my Henson. I asked for one for Christmas. I wanted to try a safety razor and Henson seemed interesting. Besides, it's made in my town and I like to support local businesses. But, I had to lather 4 times to get an ok shave. THEN I watched this video. I tried the trick of a half twist back. It completely changed this razor. Thank-you for this video. Now I can confidently recommend this razor.

Great Review. 1st time viewing your channel 😊

I love mine ❤

hi, which razors gives u smooth shaves against the grain in upper lips ?

Got my Henson today and your comments about the mildness are spot on. Good to know it can be adjusted, will give it a shot. Thanks, great review.

handle too short meh

It sucks not to be able to carry-on air travel with safety or straight razors. I'm old enough to have done both. Makes me leary to invest in a new razor system.

There is also the Henson Ti22 "Aggressive". Maybe this would be a better fit for you.

Hello my friend,Do you recommend that razor?

How about a small round rubber grommet/gasket? This would allow adjustability and also increase the angle of the blade.

And in one year it has gone to $69.95us and higher on ebay. And only five blades. Apparently they reccomend a new blade every 2-3 shaves.

I received my AL13 a couple weeks ago. I love it! Great mild shaver. I did NOT get a box of Astra SP blades though.

Hi Tim, what a fantastic review! I love the honesty and lack of bias that you have shown in your assessment of the Henson razor. What would attract me to the prospect of investing in this shaving tool is the thought of a perfect shave, or certainly one superior to the Gillette Fusion five blade I am using. Based on your review, I just don't see it. Plus, the Henson appears to require too much in the way of adjustments. I am going to pass.

HENSON razors are essentially DE version of cartridge razors.

Hi im a new beguinner i have and 6c and the leaf razor. I also bought the twig razor. I just one to have another razor for my every 2 days shave i do have sensitive skin. I like the henson . The occam's and the one blade. What do you think about it. What you recommend me. Or you have another one that i could make a good buy.

I currently shave with a Merkur 34cHD. I am wanting to get a Henson. Would you suggest getting the mild version and maybe using sharper blades or getting the medium version ?

Live in tulsa myself. Thinking of buying one.

hi john here how is the shave with that razor looking at one also

Never used a safety razor in my life, yet I just placed an order for the Rex Ambassador with a 100 pack of blades in varying sharpness. Hopefully I'll like it.

Hey dummy it’s supposed to be a mild shave. They have a model that is more aggressive if you want that. Hate to listen to people that talk about a company and product but don’t have all the details. Terrible video please tighten up

Very nice review! I subscribed after watching your channel the first time with this video. Thanks for the insight on materials and construction. I recall hearing somewhere the insert in the base plate is tungsten, to provide tight contact with the handle, without marring the surface. You answered my question of which version you used, at the very end of the video. I suspected it was the mild version, and you confirmed it. FYI-The mild is marked with a "+" and the medium is a "++". I chose the medium since I use my Rockwell 6c mostly on plates 3 & 4 and my Progress on 2 & 2.5, because I heard the mild was very mild. I've had mine about two weeks and have used it 6-7 times and really like it. I find the preset blade angle is similar to the OneBlade Core that I have and a great transition to wet shaving ("Set it and forget it" as Ron Popeil used to say about his rotisserie chicken cooker). It has the advantage of accepting any DE blade, as opposed to the proprietary Feather SE blades the OneBlade uses. The Henson AL13 is a very safe razor. You almost can't cut yourself. I have yet to have a nick or cut with it, and I tend to nick my Adam's apple more frequently than I would like to admit.
