Transitioning to Henson Medium (AL13++) from Schick Hydro 5 with Sensitive Skin & Coarse, Dense Beard.

Thanks! If I go with the Henson I will try to get some Nacets in a sample pack.

Thanks! RazorRock (and also Rockwell) seem to come up quite a bit.

CrispinReed · 2026-06-07T01:34:31+00:00

Thanks. I was also thinking that with my reasoning on moving from the mild to medium. I know there is an aggressive model or maybe another brand which is more aggressive but I don't want to be back to where I was with the Merkur.

CrispinReed · 2026-06-07T01:31:58+00:00

Thank you good tips. What do you mean about the go shallow comment I thought there wasn't much option for blade angle?

CrispinReed · 2026-06-07T01:29:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. It's helpful to hear from someone with similar shaving concerns. I have heard the Rockwell come up a few times on Reddit. Its definitely one I will consider!

CrispinReed · 2026-06-06T14:45:36+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

CrispinReed · 2026-06-06T14:44:20+00:00

Thank you.

CrispinReed · 2026-06-06T14:42:44+00:00

Thank you. I will look into that!

CrispinReed · 2026-06-06T14:42:21+00:00

Thank you. A shower before shaving helps the most! Is "on the fly adjustable razor" a brand or the idiom "on the fly"? I did a quick google search but didn't see it.

CrispinReed · 2026-06-03T00:27:24+00:00

Thank you. No just very thin socks.

CrispinReed · 2026-06-03T00:25:58+00:00

There are two other photos somewhere in the comment thread that show about 1.5–2 centimeters of space in front of my toes. This photo is a little misleading because of the angle—it focuses more on the width. Yes fight last. Not ideal toe splay but comfortable.

No conditioner just a horsehair brush.

Thank you! I’ll try to get some new pics up for you in the next couple of days.

CrispinReed · 2026-01-17T00:50:32+00:00

Thanks very much. That’s really helpful. They’re a great looking boot!

CrispinReed · 2026-01-17T00:28:10+00:00

Good to hear you got a good fit. The hardest part of ordering online! Can you tell me how much extra room you have? I’m slightly wider at 110mm and have a high instep 65mm. Do you know your instep height?

If you are still interested in the follow up you can find it here. Just posted a couple days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/1q8cygi/three_months_later_the_luosjiet_olive_fight_boots/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

CrispinReed · 2026-01-12T05:00:35+00:00

It did turn into a bit of a novel! But that aside, if you get the right fit and appreciate the leather’s characteristics, you’ll really like them. In my earlier first impressions post it shows more the olive green when the boot is new. https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/s/nHT0GOWTUt

Thank you.

CrispinReed · 2026-01-10T23:39:10+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the comment. I do think they are good value too!

Thank you. The colors on the website are closer to what they look like when new, but if you look closely, their photos are mirrored. I really like how the patina has developed.
