Henson Shaving Razor

Henson Shaving is a Canadian brand that has revolutionized the traditional wet shaving market by applying aerospace engineering principles to personal grooming. Founded in 2020 in Kitchener, Ontario, the brand was born from a partnership between specialized manufacturers who previously produced components for the Mars Rover and the International Space Station. This pedigree in high-precision machining allows the brand to produce razors with tolerances as tight as 0.0002 inches, ensuring a remarkably stable and skin-safe shaving experience.

Unlike many consumer grooming brands that outsource production to save costs, Henson Shaving maintains a dedicated manufacturing process in its Canadian facility. Their razors are crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and tungsten, materials chosen for their durability and weight. This commitment to local, precision-based manufacturing has allowed them to stand out in a market otherwise dominated by disposable plastic or high-volume cast metal alternatives.

As of 2026, Henson Shaving remains an independent, founder-led company headquartered in Kitchener, Canada. The ownership structure continues to be held by the original founders, maintaining the brand's focus on quality over mass-market dilution. Their business model emphasizes the reduction of plastic waste and long-term sustainability by encouraging the use of standard, recyclable double-edge safety blades within their specialized high-performance handles.
