Merkur Futur - Unbelievable
« on: November 13, 2011, 05:11:08 PM »
All -

I have been DE shaving the face for about 4 years, and disposable shaving the head for about 5 months.  My Merkur 34C did not perform well on my head.  So I started using disposables.   I was so pissed off by the cost of each blade.  DE shaving is so much more cheaper.  So, after all the research I bought a Merkur Futur.  I have been using it for about 3 days, and my god......the best face shave ever and it works so good on my head.  Baby smooth, and not a scary razor at all to use.  Guys, you have to try this.  I wish I had this razor years ago.

I found this on YouTube. I'm thinking I might try one of these. It might help me to slow down and smell the roses, so to speak.



Yup, I just ordered one off of Amazon.

I've got my head shave down pretty good now, but I've been focusing on the face recently. DE shaving is intriguing....may have to try it out.

DE has changed my life.  For one, I hated shaving.  Now I love it.  I used to have sensitive skin with a thick beard.  With DE shaving, I do not have any problems.  Now it has become a hobby.  Plus, the Futur has changed my life even more.  I thought my regular DE was nice, but man, the Futur is so smooth and comfy.  Smoothed shave i ever got.   Plus, blades are cheap.  It costed like 10 cents a blade, plus I can get like 3-4 good shaves with each.  Saves money, no plastic in the land fill and the most classic best shave you can get.  Like I said, you need to get the adjustable Futur.  The regular DE shaver does not work on my head. 

For some reason, it is real addictive.  I am on the hunt for an old Old Spice shaving mug.  I love having a good looking shave den.  I think I posted a pic of it on here.  Check it out.

Will do, probably take a week to get here. I always go for cheap shipping.
Which makes perfect sense when ordering a $70 razor. :px

Yes but after initial investment shaves are about $.03.  No more expensive carts.

This sounds good to me in all aspects. I will have to investigate further, thanks.

Curiosity got the better of me (that and some $ for my birthday) and I bought the Futur. I am only two days into using it but I see this as being the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The shave is good and I love the customizability of DE shaving.
