    It looks like you're in for some great shaving experiences.

    Congrats on getting one! I have not tried one, but I really enjoy agressive razors. And yes, NO PRESSURE!

    Well, let me say that I am new to all of this but really excited. I have dug out Grandpas leftovers and found that I needed a few things. I ordered a couple older straight razors and a new badger brush, razorock mudder focker shave soap, DE blades (several different brands to test), and finally a Merkur Futur razor.

    Question is: can someone explain the different settings of the blade as to the type of shave they will get. I understand that angle adjustment one direction or the other will give you a more aggressive shave but what do you experience? Just a question from a newbie.

    Thanks guys,

    An excited newbie!!!

    I keep mine on 1, any other setting is too much andscrapes my face. Feather blades are my preference.

    If they are like the Gillette adjustables, the higher the number the bigger the blade gap the more aggressive the shave.
