Author: D Southern Arrived this morning! just had my first shave with this razor and I cant believe
the difference,a beautifully crafted tool you can see and feel what your
paying for, my opinion ! buy yourself one!
Author: V Atwal Been using this razor for a couple of weeks now and whist it does need some getting used to coming from a mach 3 and new to DE shaving, it does give a really nice shave, shaving is now a joy rather than a chore thanks to this wonderful razor, only problem is the head is a bit bulky and chunky so i still need to use the mach 3 to style my sideburns
Author: SB Superb looking and well made razor. You can feel the quality when you pick it up for the first time. It will pay for itself after a few months with the money you save on blades compared to Mach 3 and the like.
Author: T Elliott Brilliant peice of craftmanship, has a lovely weight to it so you know your holding something of quality.
Went from a mach 3 to this and the difference is amazing using the mach 3 id suffer from terrible razor burn and hated shaving but since getting one of these its become a pleasure.
Author: Richard Smith The razor looks very nice. The first few shaves are difficult if you have not used this type of razor before, but it is worth persevering because once you have the hang of it the results are good.
Author: O Burnside well i have been using this for a while now...and although its nice to shave with and engineered to a very high standard, for me with clumsy fingers i am finding it awkward to change the blades and adjust the settings...awaiting the stocks of 34c as i have heard so much about it too....but all in all a very nice implement....kiss your triple blades goodbye
Author: Daniel Norton Solidly built razor, designed to last a lifetime perhaps? Will take a bit of getting used to at first as a totally different technique is required to using a convential cartridge razor. Once you've mastered the double-edge razor you'll never look back. Buy this razor with a quality shaving soap and brush and enjoy a pleasurable shaving experiance.
Author: Russ My third week of shaving with this baby, I was an avid Mach 3 user for many years, always dreaded shaving as I have very sensitive skin, shaving with the Merkur razor is a dream come true. its my 5th shave now, and I seem to be getting better each time, and I have had no razor burn at all:O Superb.
Author: Paul Clarke Great razor.......... this was my first de razor and having read other reviews (after I had already ordered) on badger and blade I was apprehensive as most people describe the Futur as ''agressive'' and for ''experienced shavers only''.......never the less I started using it at a slow pace and to date 5/6 weeks later have NO problems..... yes i've had the occasional nick but only because my attention wandered and I got sloppy...I have since ordered the Merkur Progress and to be honest haven't favoured it as much as the Futur...... I guess there's a certain amount of you stick with what you learnt with !!! All in all a great razor but treat it with respect !!!
Author: Andy Finn If you're reading the reviews of razors because you are looking for a better shave and are fed up of the ridiculously expensive cartridge razors out there ( which to be fair never really leave your face smooth) - Then keep reading.
I read about the different types and having never ever used a real blade before loved the look of the futur. When you get it in your hand you will feel why it looks so solid. It's well balanced & from the first equisite rasp along the stubble you realise why making the change is worth it. I took it really easy as it was my first time with it, and set it at level one. The cheek and neck areas i was confident enough to go for it on are totally smooth. There is a learning curve to shaving well with a safety razor and if the futur is anything to go by on its first use then learning is going to be a joy. Changing the blade is fine and i know some people dont like the flip-off top but this is tactile and feels strong so you shouldnt be in any danger of cutting yourself. Its also a great reminder that your using a blade so take care. Its no problem letting the weight of the razor do the work while you check the angle is right. Areas that used to be left still rough are utterly smooth now and i cant wait for the stubble to come back so i can try it again.
Thats the reason i made the change to the futur. I was sick of paying for fancy adverts for sub-standard products. There is a better shave out there gents and its double edged. Spread the word and even if its not the futur you choose get double edged and you wont look back . I can thouroughly recommend this and the delivery service from the shaving shack.
Author: Philip Parks This is my first safety razor and I'm hooked to say the least. Gone are my days of buying ridiculously expensive cartridge razors and hacking away at my face. It does take a little patience to get used to the transition to a double edged razor (Ensuring the angle and pressure are correct) but Combine the Futur with a luxurious soap and half decent brush and you won't regret it! Oh, as a side note, take things slowly, let the weight of the razor cut and above all enjoy!
Author: Adam Schiller Just had my first shave after years of Mach 3. It is certainly a more pleasurable experience to shave with the Futur. I am looking forward to using it with a brush and cream, rather than the gel I used today. Also the financial savings are an incentive. I had no problem adapting to this razor - all I really did was take a little more care. Used setting '2' with fine close results, and will probably experiment a little in a few days time.
