Henson Shaving builds razors in an Ontario aerospace facility that machines components for satellites, and it brings the same obsession with tolerances to your morning shave. Every Henson razor holds its blade at a precise, fixed angle with almost no flex or chatter, which is the engineering answer to razor burn, tugging, and ingrown hairs. No gimmicks, no subscription, no plastic. Just a Canadian-made tool designed to be bought once and used for decades. That philosophy lines up almost word for word with how MASC has curated grooming since 2007, which is why the brand earned its place here.
Henson razors reward cartridge converts especially well, because the design does the angle-finding a beginner would otherwise learn by trial and error. If the format is new to you, our guide on how to use a safety razor walks through the basics, and our team gives real, no-BS advice whenever you want a second opinion before switching.

Best Henson Shaving Picks for...
Switching from Cartridges
The best Henson razor for cartridge converts is the original finish that started it all. The fixed blade angle removes the learning curve. The AL13 in Aircraft Aluminum is the natural first Henson.
A Finish That Stands Out
The best pick for a razor that looks as considered as it shaves is a statement colour. Anodized finishes keep it scratch-resistant. The AL13 in Copper turns a bathroom shelf into a display.
Understated Matte Black
The best choice for a stealthier setup keeps the same machining in a darker shell. Murdered-out and glare-free. The AL13 in Jet Black suits guys who prefer their gear quiet.
Drying and Display
The best way to extend any razor's life is proper drying between shaves. A purpose-machined stand holds the razor at the right angle. The Henson Razor Stand is cut from aluminum plate to fit.
