That's awesome! I couldn't help myself and tried again with the Henson today. It was pretty good actually. One thing I realized as well, is that in my first foray into this 10 years ago, I always tried to get a shave as good as what I got with a cartridge. For me, that is just asking for pain...three passes with a DE and it always gave me burn and ingrowns. I HAD to go ATG to even look like I shaved at all.
Today I thought "you know what?" I don't NEED to get a BBS. Let me get an SAS and just enjoy the experience. It was pretty dang good! Looking back, I wish I had realized or been told to not expect the same results as a cartridge. At least not right away. All the talk about "I get better-closer shaves with a DE and with less irritation!" I always thought in my head "HOW!?" The DE's always (and still) just dont shave as good for me as the carts do. I think for me, I will never get the same results as a cart but that's ok. Just something about how all those blades distribute the pressure and the fact that they're flexible maybe helps me.
I also think that a lot of cart-complaints come from people who are shaving 3+ days of growth with a cart. I totally get how that is miserable. Shaving every day for me with a cart was so easy and awesome I didn't even think about it. Jeez, I'm OCD haha. I will continue with the Henson SAS's for now anyways!
