Any other "Futur Addicts" out there? I currently have FOUR - (one of each:satin/chrome/gold finished),brand new and boxed,and a satin that I use,@ number 5,with Derby blade,for my daily shave.
First pass,WTG using a Merkur 34 HD,then a re-lather,second pass using the Futur (No.5),WTG - to eliminate any misses.Perfect mirror finish face!No stubble/razor burn/rash.
Apart from being a first class cutter,the Futur is an engineering work-of-art! How can you NOT love this razor.
Learn the technique...use NO pressure at all...take your time...lather well...and a baby bottom,nick free visage can be yours.If new to the "beast" - start at number 1,and GRADUALLY work your way to a slightly more aggressive shave - DO NOT RUSH! I honestly believe this is where the criticism of the Futur arises from.
Eccentric?...Of course! Aren't all Brits? But you have got to hand it to our Germanic cousins - they produce a simply beautiful piece of kit!
Lock me up now! I just KNOW that if Merkur make a bright red aluminum Futur - I will end up owning FIVE!...I NEED HELP!
Best Wishes to all for Christmas - And have a Great New Year,
Alan.
