  Nikon D750, are my expectations too high? (Sharpness)

  Hey guys! I recently moved to a Nikon D750 from a Fuji X-T2. Although I love the little Fuji, I wanted full frame for the myriad of cheaper, still decent quality lenses and full frame route, since that's what I normally see most pros using, which I assume is probably for a reason, and I wouldn't want a sensor to limit my image quality.
  However, I'm not one to drink the Kool-aid without seeing first-hand any alleged differences. I haven't had too much time to test the two head to head, but I'm not noticing much of a gain in sharpness moving to the Nikon so far.
  The two combinations are the Nikon D750 with a 50mm 1.8G and the Fuji X-T2 with a 35mm 1.4. The two have similar focal range, but on my tests, the Nikon has been showing some sharpness issues. Am I looking too deeply into this? I wanted to get your opinions if it's some kind of faulty camera or lens, since the return window is coming up.
  Are my expectations too high for what I think the Nikon sharpness should be? If you have any experience with this, what is the best sharpness I can hope for around the $1100 budget, used market included? Is it me? Or is this the sharpest this camera/lens combo will do?
  Here's (Link) one sample image from a rudimentary test I took last night, sick as a dog, following the gym. Notice the eyebrow hairs are a bit fuzzy. This is the sharpest image of the bunch that I took with these settings. I'll be testing it further tonight when I get home from work and the gym, but my flash system is Fuji so I'll try to jerry-rig the flash as a slave and see what I can do.
