I gave my wife a Futur last month for her birthday and she likes the close shave.

I did snag it this week for two shaves and I liked the shave. It took one shave to get used to the feel of blade but by shave #2 I was rolling.

On my Gillette Adjustable I use a setting of 4. On the Futur it is a 2. The wife likes a 3.

The Futur is well made. I do prefer the Gillette for changing blades. The Futur's pop off top took some practice getting back on and snapped in.

I should say I rarely shave with a DE. Only about 6 times this year.
