Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor in Matt Chrome - No Blades Included

Product Information

There have been some consumer reports about the handles on both these razors being slippy, mainly about the Futur. Insert a sharp blade into the razor, and then simply twist the handle to 1 of its 5 predetermined settings. You can change the angle of the blade inside the razor head for exactly the shave you want. Yes, Merkur products are manufactured in Germany, as they have been since the company was founded in 1896! Is Merkur a Good Brand? Many users have reported that the Merkur Futur delivers an exceptionally close shave, even after just a single pass. This is due to the razor’s large blade gap, which is quite aggressive when compared to other safety razors on the market.

I have already mentioned that the Progress has a standard and long-handle version. The overall length is very similar for the Futur and long-handled Progress, with the Futur having an extra 4mm. Two parts – The Futur has a two-part design with only the top cap having the ability to be taken apart from the handle and the bottom of the head. At the lowest setting of 1, this razor will give you a relatively mild shave, but it does not necessarily to a 1. Here are several other adjustable safety razors that are worth considering instead of the Merkur Futur: Some consumers have complained about the size of the head. It is very bulky that gave them difficulty in reaching areas around the nose/mustache area.

My experience with the Qshave is actually quite positive–I think it shaves me better than the Futur! Although the handle is still smooth the Qshave’s smaller diameter seems to help me keep a more secure grip. And while the razor’s head is still relatively large, the wider adjustment range (vs. the Futur, especially at the mild end) provides better performance for me. The razor’s low price and Qshave’s quality control reputation is still a cause for concern to me though. Conclusion If you're a pro and have no issues, you'll probably love this razor, but you might also find something else to love that costs less. While this feature could be great for people that are experienced with safety razors, it’s unnecessary and, in fact, somewhat dangerous for beginners.

The German-made Merkur Futur Adjustable Safety Razor is renowned worldwide, boasting an ergonomic contemporary design with adjustable settings. Each level exposes more or less of the blade, changing the pressure the sharp edge puts on your face. The more exposed the blade, the more bite it has. When you know how to use a safety razor and when you have experience with different kinds, it can be like having a few of your favorite razors combined into one. That said, if you have regular hair you'll realize you like one or two of the settings only. And few dare to level six, the most aggressive setting, with its severe blade angle.
