A Partnership with Aerospace Manufacturers
From the beginning, Henson Shaving aimed to craft razors to perfection. The founders approached one of Canada’s leading aerospace manufacturers, with the expertise and precision to build structural components for projects like the Mars Rover, the International Space Station, and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) programs.
A partnership was born, and it became clear that creating an ultra-precise razor was indeed possible – though at a high cost. The next challenge was to bring aerospace quality into a razor at an affordable price. Fortunately, the mission was accomplished!
A Look Further Back in History
Henson Shaving’s namesake, William Samuel Henson, was an aviation engineer and inventor. Henson invented the modern form of the safety razor: the ‘T’-shaped Safety Razor, which he patented in 1847. However, further improvements were needed to make Safety Razors suitable for general use.
In 1901, Gillette combined Henson’s T-shaped Safety Razor with disposable blades, producing the modern razor we know today. Since the early 20th century, the Safety Razor has remained relatively unchanged, although recently the market has been flooded with manufacturers seeking to join the environmentally-friendly trend.
As the future founders of Henson Shaving began to explore available production options, it became increasingly clear that standard methods of casting and coating razors lacked precision – not exactly ideal for a razor, where precision has a huge impact on the shave. The team behind Henson Shaving set out to solve this issue.
