Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor describes itself as two machinists who started the razor line in 2020 inside an aerospace shop they have run for 20 years, and its privacy policy gives a Kitchener, Ontario address; no parent, investor, or acquisition turned up. Corporations Canada returned zero results for Henson Shaving and Henson Aerospace, so the legal entity is most likely an Ontario corporation, and the Ontario Business Registry could not be checked, so the legal name and shareholders are unconfirmed. The CANADA List corroborates Canadian ownership.

The vendor does not disclose where its aircraft aluminum and titanium bar stock comes from, the RK blades that ship with every razor and as 100 packs are made in India, and the skincare line is made in the United States. The split is an estimate that credits Canadian machining labour and packaging, assigns the imported blades and undisclosed metal stock mostly to other countries, and leaves a US share for the skincare and metal supply. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, alongside Amazon.
