Shaving Hardware Comparison Guide

  • The Henson Aerospace Advantage (AL13 & Ti22): Unlike cast zinc razors, the Henson is CNC-machined in Ontario, Canada to AS9100 aerospace tolerances, locking the blade at a fixed 30-degree shaving angle with near-zero blade exposure (0.033mm on Mild / 0.068mm on Medium). This eliminates blade chatter and razor burn for sensitive skin and body shaving.
  • Compared to Rockwell 6S / 6C: The Henson AL13 is ultra-lightweight (~37g aluminum vs. ~118g stainless steel on the Rockwell 6S) with zero moving settings—prioritizing effortless, foolproof angle control over adjustable plate customization.
  • Assembly Check: Always ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade when screwing the handle on (if installed upside down, the blade edge won't meet the hair).

Sleek. Modern. Precise.
This is the Henson AL13 (Mild) in the highly sought-after Jet Black finish. Engineered to aerospace tolerances (0.0005 inches), it eliminates blade vibration to give you the safest, smoothest shave of your life. Whether you are in London, Dubai, or Sydney, this tool performs flawlessly in any climate.

Why Choose Jet Black?

  • Tactical Aesthetic: The matte black finish offers a sophisticated, modern look that elevates any bathroom counter.
  • Permanent Color: This isn't cheap paint. The Type II Anodizing chemically bonds the black pigment to the aluminum, meaning it won't chip or peel.
  • Zero Chatter: Clamps the blade tight to stop irritation and razor bumps before they start.
  • Easy Rinse: The coating is hydrophobic, meaning hair and lather rinse off instantly with water.
💡 Pro Tip: Secure Your Supply
This razor uses standard double-edge blades. Add the 100-Pack of RK Blades to your cart now to secure 2-3 years of shaving for less than $20.

International Buyer FAQ

Does the black coating scratch off?

No. The Jet Black finish is Type II Anodized, which means the color is chemically bonded to the aluminum. It is not paint. It will not chip, peel, or fade under normal use.

Is this razor good for beginners?

Yes. The "fixed angle" head design makes it almost impossible to cut yourself. It is the perfect entry point into safety razor shaving.

Do you ship to UAE, UK, and Australia?

Yes. Sama Homes is a global shipper. We send packages daily to Dubai, London, Sydney, and beyond using tracked priority shipping.

Expert Knowledge Base & Buyer Protection

How does Free Global Shipping over $75 CAD work, and do you ship to the USA, Europe, Nordics, and worldwide?+

Yes! All orders dispatch from our Canadian warehouse in Chestermere, Alberta. Orders over $75 CAD (or the equivalent in your local currency) qualify for Free Standard Global Shipping Worldwide ($15 CAD flat rate under $75 CAD). Standard shipping is tracked wherever available through destination postal/courier networks, and ships via reliable International Air Mail where tracked service is not available. Need faster delivery? You can select our Paid Express Courier Upgrade at checkout. Please note: International orders outside Canada ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU); the recipient is responsible for local import VAT/GST and customs clearance fees. Refusing a parcel at customs results in actual round-trip courier return fees being deducted from your refund.

What is your return policy, 12-hour cancellation window, and 24-hour transit damage protocol?+

Orders operate on a strict 12-hour cancellation window from the time of purchase before locking for warehouse fulfillment. Unused, unwashed, factory-sealed items in their original packaging may be returned within 30 days of delivery via an authorized RMA (subject to a 10% inspection/restocking fee; original and return shipping costs are non-refundable). Strict Hygiene Final-Sale Rule: Any grooming tool, razor, blade pack, brush, soap, skincare product, or hydration/cooking/dining vessel that has been unsealed, rinsed, washed, or used is 100% Final Sale. In the rare event of courier transit damage, you must notify us within 24 hours of the carrier delivery timestamp with clear photos of the damaged item, the outer shipping box, and the courier shipping label.

SAMA Homes is an official authorized stockist for Henson Shaving, Rockwell Razors, Merkur Solingen, DOVO Solingen, Feather Japan, Wahl Professional, Andis, BaBylissPRO, StyleCraft, JRL, and Hanz de Fuko, plus 100-pack saloon blade refills (Feather, Astra, RK, Derby). Helpful Hardware Tips: (1) On Henson razors, ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade during assembly so the blade edge engages properly; (2) On DOVO carbon-steel straight razors, blot the blade dry after every shave and store outside steamy bathrooms to prevent oxidation.

Why is the Henson AL13 safety razor better for sensitive skin and preventing razor burn?+

The Henson AL13 is precision-milled from aerospace-grade aluminum to hold the blade at an exact 30-degree angle with minimal blade exposure. This eliminates blade chatter and cuts hair cleanly at the skin level, drastically reducing razor burn and ingrown hairs.

Will the Henson razor rust or degrade over time?+

No. Henson razors are manufactured using aerospace-grade aluminum and tungsten, making them completely rust-proof, incredibly durable, and lightweight. It is engineered as a permanent, zero-waste replacement for disposable plastic razors.

Do I need to buy special replacement blades for the Henson safety razor?+

Not at all. The Henson razor accepts any standard double-edge safety razor blade. While we highly recommend pairing it with premium Astra or RK stainless steel blades for optimal performance, the universal design offers ultimate flexibility and cost savings.
