Just a DFS. :mellow:

There's nothing wrong with a DFS… except when you're used to BBS shaves. I just wondered how the Henson would be on two days growth. Well, three shaves in with the Henson, and it took a lot of buffing just to get to DFS. I usually put these sort of challenges down to operator shortfalls, but I'm thinking the razor design probably isn't so good for more than one day old whiskers (when said whiskers are coarse, dense, and fast growing).

I want to prove myself wrong though. I now intend sticking to daily shaves to get more familiar with the razor first... if that goes well, then I'll branch out to two (and hopefully more) days growth shaves.
It's an experiment after all, so I'm OK with strange (to me) results for a while. :letterk1:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
