When I shave with my Merkur Futur, I notice a difference in blade exposure from one side of the razor head to the other....
This results in one side of the head giving a shave which takes hardly any whiskers off...whilst when flipping the head round, the other side is quite aggressive....
Looking at it, it strikes me that the pintles/Pins on the top plate(don't know the correct name for them)that hold the razor blade in position allow too much sideways movement with the holes in the blade..allowing the blade to be more exposed at one side than the other....
It can't just be me being picky surely.....
I could equalise the blade...but that means taking my specs into the steamy bathroom..I don't have this problem with my Muhles'..the pins seem slightly thicker, making for a snugger fit with the holes in the blade..
Anyone else have this problem?.......Its very annoying.
