Merkur Futur - Unbelievable

Thanks quantex, I'm really interested in this myself, so some input from those who have gone the DE route would help.

DE is the only way.  I was an M3 user...yadda yadda yadda.  Tried DE and I will never go back..plus you save alot of money.  I hated shaving, not it is a hobby.  As soon as I find a vintage old spice mug, I will be set.  Sure I can buy one on Ebay, but I look checking out flea markets and Goodwill.  Im sure one will show up.

DE is the way us old timers learned how to shave.

This is very true...we watched our Daddys and had to use the Gillettes we were issued in the service. A few years after my retirement from the Corps I secretly bought a sissy razor...a Schick Injector. It was sweet compared to....light and gave a smooth shave w/o blood(not much).

A few nights ago I was scraping off 2 days of growth from my head and face with a Fusion/shave oil/gel and was thinking how this experience would have been back in my DE Gillette dayz. Doug, Quantex and Buddha, I just can't imagine it being pleasant.

Like I said.  I hated shaving.  Now with a DE, it is awesome.  Turned into a hobby!!!  Less irritation, plus the blades are super cheap, and better for the environment.  Hey that is me.

I was just perusing Amazon and a DE razor popped up...the Edwin Jagger De89lbl.

It had mostly 5 star reviews and many wrote that it was better than their Merkur razors....any opinions?

I don't have experience with it. I've heard that people like the EJs.

No complaints with my Merkur. Only use it on my face.
