Thread: Review of Merkur Futur (1st review)

If you can't handle a DE, you durn sure better stay away from straights!

I have used a merkur futur for about 6 months after using a 34c for a while.both are great and have gone to the setting 4. Then I thought if I like that near aggressive setting I'll get a merkur 37c after reading about the aggressive nature of this razor. Great shave using the same technique as using any DE razor. It's like buying any quality product,a BMW,Aston Martin etc. Merkur seems to be in the same league! Try them all and each has a different feel but enjoy the ride.

This was my first DE, bought many years ago. I currently own around 40 Des. Use the Futur on 6 about 60% of the time. About 20% I'll go with the R41 just to test myself. The rest of the time I'm fooling around with old Gems, Gillettes, Autostrops, Rolls, Christy, Schicks, etc. But when I want to SHAVE, it's a Futur with a Red or a Feather.
