CNC-machined aluminum double-edge safety razor that sandwiches the blade between a top dome and bottom plate, exposing minimal blade for a close, controlled shave.

Why it's buy-it-for-life
Precision-machined construction with a blade-locking design that protects the edge in transit; owners describe it as built for decades of daily use.
What owners say
One owner calls it the best purchase they've made from the subreddit, noting the blades are so cheap they run under $5 a year and that they're still working through the first 100-blade pack they bought roughly three years earlier. Another simply calls it worth every penny.

Dropped $70 on a Henson AL13 last year. Wish I could have 30 years ago. It will be with me until I die.
Henson double blade razor. And a good shave soap and brush.
I have a Henson razor and it sandwiches the blade between the top dome and bottom plate by screwing in the handle.
