Henson The Henson Razor

The cartridge model runs on refills. The Henson flips it: buy the handle once, then standard blades you can find anywhere.

The Stapl pick

It holds a single standard double-edge blade at a fixed angle, per Henson. One blade means fewer passes over the same skin.

Buy at Henson The full verdict
