PSA: the Henson AL13 is a very bad and highly overrated safety razor.
Impossibly narrow cutting angle. Much too little weight. Annoying to use. Terribly prone to nicks. It almost put me off safety razors entirely.
Luckily, I decided to try a few other razors. I just shaved with a Merkur 34C and it was a night-and-day difference. Smooth steel, actual cutting angles you can wield, great form factor, easy to open and switch blades... not a single nick despite a super close three-pass shave.
