I had to try these new blades designed by HK in collaboration with Henson Shaving after reading about them. According to Henson, the holes for the razor posts are constructed with very tight tolerances, which should prevent any misalignment when used with the Henson AL13.

Shaving Time in the UK recently started to sell them and I'm excited to try them out when I receive them.

My current blade of preference is a Nacet, so comparing the two blades will be interesting.
Has anyone tried them in a Henson or any other DE razor?

I saw them, and for some reason think I saw reviews... Good reviews... But I haven't tried them yet.

I'll be interested in seeing how they work for you. Please share your thoughts after you have used them?

The reviews I've seen on these put them in the same category as the PAA Strangelet blades which I've read as not so positive... I had never heard any complaints about blade alignment on the Henson razors which might say more about the razors themselves and maybe they should adjust the razor to accept all blades!!

I just finished my first shave with the Henson blades in the AL13, which seemed a little rougher at first than Nacets but felt the same after a couple of passes.
It's a nice, sharp blade that I'll definitely use in the AL13 again.

I may have spoken too soon, awful second shave with the Henson blade today. Had to switch blades mid shave as the Henson blade felt like it was pulling individual hairs instead of cutting, ouch!

I think I will stick to Nacets with the Henson razor as they have never let me down and always give a smooth shave.

I know this is a bit of an old post, but I had tried the RK blades that came with my Henson mild. I could not get through the first pass with them since they lit my face on fire! I had to finish the shave with a different blade. The Treet Platinum is my go-to blade now.

Same experience here. Couldn’t finish one pass. I tried several times with the same result.

I bought my wife a Henson a year or so ago and she tried these blades and said they were pretty bad. I never tried then myself. She loves the Henson itself though.
