I think it’s aggressiveness is a little exaggerated but it’s certainly less forgiving than most DE out there and will nicely exfoliate/take a top layer off of you don’t treat it with care! I started with a clone and they are much more forgiving and mild. I love it but have one I’m willing to sell. It’s matt chrome and I’m good condition. I am looking for cash to fund another razor I’d love to get my hands onSo I've read a lot of good things about these, but people say the Futur is less suited to those new to DE. I'm not sure if that really means "new to wet shaving" or just DE. Surely if it's adjustable it can be set to mild? Or is it not as simple as that? In spite of my preference for straight razors overall, having recently tried a mild DE, I'm thinking it deserves a space in my rotation and I'm looking to see what sort of thing I should consider. This is probably getting close to a thread hijack so maybe I'll start my own, but the Futur appeals, being well regarded, adjustable, and about as much as I fancy spending, hence my interest in your experience with it compared with the usual 34C/EJ 89L etc
I had a go at the Futur clone from Aliexpress, I tried a couple in fact. There was a serious issue with inconsistency of the blade gap on either side on both that I tried, one side aggressive, one side mild. Not very well made IMO. Both ended up in a drawer after a few weeks.
