Closed Merkur Futur Pass Around

[Whosthedaddy]

I've used the Digesss or Megress depending on whether in UK or US and was again a lovely adjustable razor but found anything less than 5 to be a little inefficient. Looks wise this or the Progress beats the Futur hands down for me with its retro styling but couldn't bring myself to part with >£40 for an adjustable that wouldn't be used as such.

Looking forward to the next few shaves this week to see if it was love at first shave or not?

Lather or brush a little pants today but still managed an irritation shave on 6, no dramas?!

The wife took the Futur for a spin today and apart from one tiny spot of blood not a bad experience for her? Left it on 2 as unsure how this translates from face to legs or vice versa?

Her initial comment 'heavy isn't it?'

I'm enjoying the photos. The gallery showing may make the Futur blush or make its head even bigger.

Good news bad news?

Who's next up for this razor as I've made my mind up about its use...I've inly gone and bought one myself so can pass this on a few days early.

Just wondering if this is still doing the rounds, my Chinese clone just arrived and thought a side by side blow by blow might be fun.
