Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Astra always pairs well with my Henson.
  • Henson AL13+ and Feather blades worked great for me once I stopped going ATG on my neck, started using cold water, and figured out the J-Cut for my whirlpool.
  • I liked the Henson AL13 a lot but after three shaves, the 6S feels like it's an absolute step up in every way.
  • i've been using a Henson AL13+ (the mild one) on my neck for three or four weeks, now, and the result is far more comfortable than my cartridge razor gave me.
  • I also have the AL13 which I take on holidays. I prefer the mild over the medium because I can get the same results but find it easier with the mild one.

Cons

  • In thepast weeks, I asked about good alternatives to the Henson AL13+ since it was too mild for me.
  • I like the lightness on this one but I think I should’ve gotten the Medium one :( I want to try a different brand and a aggressiveness somewhere in between those two razors
  • I was going about to buy the henson AL13, but it's a pricey razor so I wanted first to know about y'all opinion.
  • It took me forever to choose between the Henson AL13 and Merkur 34C
  • Henson AL13 is nice, if a tad too mild. Best to pair with an aggressive blade. Can have a suction drag feeling due to razor head geometry.

the safest and easiest double edge razor to use is a Henson AL13 (the standard/mild, not the medium AL13-M). It’s more money than a Merkur but it’s worth it IMHO because it’s milder and it’s more precisely made.
