Suede is more durable against abrasion.

If you want to make each blade last longer, leave it in a glass of baby oil after every use. You'll get 5 more shaves out of every razor.

Look up how to do a proper shave. No reason you can't get BBS with this razor

how do you find these boots for driving?

Dig into saddle soap with fingers?

uhm.

Great boot cleaning video! Also makes for great ASMR too!

Bro you gotta invest in a horse hair brush and some microfibers! Its a small investment with a big payoff. Kudos on taking care of your boots, I can tell your a young fella. Its nice to see a younger person actually value something.

Saddle soap will definitely dry leather out. I only use it for heavy cleaning. A dab of dawn dish soap in water is what I use on a more regular basis. With a light coat of obenaufs lp. When I need to go heavier I use the saddle soap and a heavier coat of the actual obenaufs oil ( it absorbs into the leather)

I think you should let them completely dry before applying mink oil.

Get Better!!!

Thanks for the information on this bike light. Helped me a lot 👍

I'm sorry bro, but your nail is gross

Fuck all the synthetic micro suede uppers though.

The soles of climbing shoes only last a few months to a year, before they wear through, so there’s no point in a durable upper.

suede is real leather, it's not as strong as top grain leather in most cases, but good suede is still very strong, while also often being more flexible than top grain leather

Suede is real leather

Those are the Cristy Vibram sole clones, which are well known to be fast wearing due to their squish. So it's a trade off, want firmer and longer lasting soles or something that is more comfortable for less time? For arguably the best wear you'll look at probably the V100 lugs, but they are CHONKY. As for Danner? They left their legacy behind, it's all about profit now.

expecting bbs from wtg? no matter of aggression here. it’s the matter of atg and specifically for the mustache area you should hold the razor in a deep angle. i guess such this angle won’t work with henson in terms of the design

You not geting a close shave is on you. Turn that thing around and go from the bottom up. There is nothing wrong with razor or the holder.

What about the cut whisker extraction? I am lazy so I might go a day or two without shaving. Does this razor clog up with whiskers?

hell yeah

Bonjour si certains muscles du pied se 'reposent', ils ne travaillent pas surtout ! Et le pied sera faible et sera plus exposé aux blessures. Je marche depuis des années et pas de blessures aux chevilles même avec un sac a dos lourd. Pour les débutants ok mais ils ne se muscler ont jamais bien leurs pieds. Chacun sa façon de voir et de .... marcher. Aucune critique de ma part, juste une façon de voir les choses. Bonne ballade a toi. PS: après avoir chaussez des chaussures lourdes et des légères et basses par la suite, c'est quand même plus agréable, moins fatiguant et de marcher plus longtemps avec des chaussures legeres. Salut ! 🙋

always has been

A good summary and I pretty much agree. However, you can buy brand new modern boots that match these with some improvements .For example Hanwag, a family run German business who have been making hiking boots for 100 years have some superb boots. Take a look at the Tatra GTX II's, leather on the outside but Goretex lined, these boots are superb and can last a lifetime (Because they can be re-soled by Hanwag, a service they offer). I had a pair of Hanwag Special Forces whilst I was in the military, I had them for 10 years and only threw them out because the soles wore out (I forgot about the sole replacement service), which was a big mistake, the boots themselves were still in incredible condition, and incredibly comfortable, lesson learned....

How accurate is the battery life on full power

"I did a thread repair on my Magura Break lever".... looked more like a _brake_ lever to me. But you did break it.

You didn’t get a close shave because you only shaved with the grain. No razor out there will give you a bbs unless you shave against the grain. Doesn’t matter how aggressive it is. You need a proper lather, good technique, and the right blades for your hair and skin type. Also, some razors you’ll find shave better ATG than others, it’s a matter of trial and error. I’ve tried all the hensons, and mild was my favorite one, paired with a feather blade. I get BBS, it shaves as close as any of the other aggressions with a feather blade and shaving against the grain.

They don’t makem like that anymore! Best option is to look into a custom boots maker like Nicks or Limmer, or even do a custom pair of Jim Green Razorbacks with a leather lasting board and midsole.

Reason 4 is always the most important lol. Drip is essential

I request you stand on one leg, and cluck like a chicken.

What brand are these again? I couldn’t understand when u said the name lol.

Love my Fabianos! So many reasons for heritage boots! Don’t forget the stiffness is great for snow fields and crampons. Thanks!

Can you buy these online, if so where?

THANK YOU for making this follow up video! Those are certainly getting a workout. I noticed the same thing about comfort with my vintage Vasque boots fro 1976. Extremely comfortable to wear and to walk in. I just bought a pair of Merrell MOAB 2 Ventilated hiking shoes (low) for walking my border collies. They are supposed to be like slippers on your feet. BS!!! My feet are killing me after only 2 hours of wear. Especially the balls of my feet. The leather on your boots finally absorbed all of that wax, and the color lightened up quite a bit. Not the scratched up areas, but the leather higher up on the vamp. It will be interesting to see how those scratches recover. Again...THANKS for this video. Enjoy your boots!!

Is yours mild or

Cut your nails lol

all the ropes seem like a hassle just free solo that xD

I’ve looked at the Henson and the main thing for me that puts me off is you have to buy effectively 2 razors in my case the medium and the aggressive if you want a really close shave and they’re not cheap razors to buy. I currently use a Feather Artis club razor DX which requires patience and a different skill set if you don’t want to end up looking like a product from Sweeny Todd. I also use the Feather DE bamboo shaft infused with resin which is great for under the nose, I like to collect proper razors and change every so often. For me wet shaving is a nice way to relax and time to think and reflect. Top tip from my grandmother never use a cutthroat razor to shave if your in a bad mood - cheers nan 👍🏻🩸🩸

󠀠

I had the same problem I changed razor blades much closer shave

Bro this is great im a V3 climber at best and seeing someone practicing everyday going through the journey is inspiring

I'm currently also looking to up my game. Did you try different blades / technique? Also I wonder which electric razor you use(d)? Funny to see Chester at the end 😂

Learning how to maintain tension is honestly a big help. I'm also a begginer but cutting my feet less has helped eliviate my hands and arms

Def could work on some footwork drills on some easier climbs, using your feet and hips to create momentum will help you improve alot and will allow you to climb for longer each session.

I'm too old to climb. Stopped by to hit the like button. Waiting for the boot follow-up.

How's the framework holding up. I'm so excited to get mine

Mate if you want best shave you've ever had get Aylsworth Apex SS razor. I'm confident you'll be satisfied. I have had many razors and this is the best one yet mild feel, smooth, comfortable on your face, very efficient. 😉 To dispose blades cheap and safe use an empty can of coke.

If you have the time, I would really like to see how these boots look several months after oiling. Even a short with close ups would be good. THANK YOU!!!

Your Stellinas lightened up since you oiled them. They turned out great.
