I have had a Futur for several years, along with quite a few other DE's, old and new. THe Futur is possibly my favourite! (Changes from week to week but I keep coming back to it.)

I have found that it seems to work with most blades and I use Derbys through Feathers with no problems. There again, I have no problem with most blades in any razor.

The Merkur blades I don't like! They are rough.

Astras are my favourites, along with Feathers but perhaps I have a tough old face as I have never had razor burn! Not even with those plastic face rasps.

Enjoy your Futur.
