5.0 out of 5 stars Not Going Back to Disposables... EVER
I bought this almost 3 yrs ago as a 50th birthday gift to myself. I have multiple reasons of why I wanted a double-edged razor. My reasons are 1) get a better shave, 2) get more involved with my shaving experience, 3) become more ecological, 4) lower my costs.1) I get a great shave from this razor. It's my first razor of this type I have ever bought and am not disappointed. I can change the aggressiveness with a turn of the handle. I don't know how other double-edged razors work. Are they able to adjust the aggressiveness with a turn of the handle? With this option on this razor, I think it is perfect for a beginner. As the instructions say, start at "1" and adjust it until you're comfortable with the results. Also, I would get ingrown hairs that were a pain to shave. I read in an article that with every swipe of a disposable blade is a scrape to the skin. A disposable with 2-7 blades is 2-7 scrapes to the skin. So, that one hair you're trying to get and swipe 2-5x, do the math. This creates tougher skin and makes hair more difficult to reach the surface. With a double-edged razor, one swipe is one scrape. And it gives such a better end result. I have had way fewer ingrown hairs.2) With disposables, it's too easy to just shave and not think about it. I wanted to be more invested and understand the process better. I bought a fogless mirror (I shave in the shower), shaving cream cup, shaving cream, after shave lotion, a shaving brush and razor blades. Did it take some time to get used to the process? Anything worthwhile takes time to understand. And it is so worthwhile. I could give the list of products I bought for my process, but that was part of the fun. If someone wants it, ask and I will put it in here.3) Do you ever think about where those disposables go when you're done? I do. Since they've touched skin and probably blood, they aren't recyclable. You would have to dispose of them as someone does needles, in a biohazard container. They use plastic to mold them. I couldn't do that anymore. So much waste!4) Cost! How much do the disposables cost? Gillettes? $45 for 12 cartridges? Sure, Harry's and Dollar Shave have lower costs than Gillette. But they use the same process to make them; plastic and metal that isn't recyclable. My total cost to begin this process was about $170 in 2020. It's closer to $210 now. Most of the items I bought are durable and I still use them. The only things that I need to buy are razor blades, shaving cream and after shave lotion. My razor blades cost $8 for 100 blades, shaving cream is $16 about every 6-7 months and after shave lotion is $16 every 6 months. I just bought more blades after 3 yrs. I have a used blade container I put used blades in that isn't full yet. It's close though. The containers for the shaving cream and after shave lotion are recyclable.If my reasons intrigue you, then please try going this direction. I haven't regretted it once.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is the ONE!
I grew up in a time when multi blade cartridges were new and all the rave, so naturally that's where I started. And stayed for my entire life until now. What a mistake...This razor is amazing. I was a little scared to use it at first after reading reviews of carnage face after your first go. I even used a cartridge razor again instead of this when it first came in. Finally today I tried this thing out and wow, I have a crazy close shave and didn't cut myself once. This thing makes shaping my beard way easier too. And my skin felt so much better today than after my typical cartridge shaves. It's was super easy to clean and I'm actually looking forward to my next shave lol.I suppose there's a learning curve but it's basically just picking it up and using it, you adapt quick. By the end I felt it was even easier to use than my cartridges.Also, I love the style of this thing. I almost got the viking one but I couldn't get over how childish it looked to me. I'm a dad in the suburbs, not a viking, I think would feel silly holding something like that. I'm man enough without all the viking flare lol.I love the look of this razor though. It's simple but very sleek and professional looking. It feels more like a surgical instrument than a razor. Cartridges feel like toys next to this thing.I'm also looking forward to letting my wife try it out, other reviews have talked about home much their wives like it too.SO, if you are on the fence because you've never used a double edge safety razor like this, I strong encourage you to give it a shot. I thought maybe I would return if I didn't like it but now I never want to use a cartridge again. You will not regret this purchase.
5.0 out of 5 stars Women love this razor too!
I absolutely adore this razor! I am a woman & dislike the pink tax, crumby shaves & stupid baby colors women's razors give. What are we 5?Men's razors tend to angle better & give a better/closer/longer lasting shave for all the curves & angles woman have for our various areas & intimate parts. I have wasted so much money on razors trying to find the best for me & not spend a fortune doing so. The Merkur Futur is THE razor above all razors.Prepping, post shave care is best for smoother silkier skin. It just feels better (or, not ichy or drying). Don't skimp bc time, money or any other excuse, things can be homemade that work just as good as store bought.I've had this bad boy over a year and I will never look back.I started on a one setting my first shave - legs, underarms, unmentionables. Now I'm at a 3.5 or 4.It's way easier if you get a good shave cream like cremo lavender is my go to. It works best with a shave brush. I got a heap boars bristle one on Bolo to start out but I plan on getting a much nicer one when this one wears out. It sheds but works rather well.I went to a community college near me that has either glass blowing or ceramic classes and commissioned them to make me a shave bowl with tiny groves at the bottom for ultimate lather & a little nitch to hold either my shave brush or razor depending on what I was using at the moment. Best 20 bucks I've spent in a long while.All the little things can add up initially but when you're paying $20 every 3 years give or take (depending on quality of blades) for blades, man it just works out!For women: get a big cup or bowl for warm water & sit on the side of the tub or if you are blessed with a little chair/stool sit down for legs and unmentionables. Add water as needed. If you start to dry off the razor will drag. While is doesn't normally cut you it can if it bounces too much. So lather on girl! It also helps you see and angle yourself & the razor correctly for less chance of nicks. If you do happen to nick yourself, use a stypid powder or pencil like Clubman Pinaud Styptic Pencil less than $2. Stings, but works beautifully.Take. Your. Time.Especially when you first start. Eventually you'll know which way to taut your skin and the angles will just be automatic.Another great razor for women and our curvy nature is the feather all stainless as-d2 razor. It's not adjustable & is triple the price but gives a beautiful shave & is good for sensitive skin. Is still prefer the Futur for it's adaptability.Blades: don't skimp. They're cheap enough to get the good ones. Merkur is great, the ones that come with work really well. Feather hi-stainless or Kai work really well too. I disliked shark, it dulled quickly and got bitey faster than I'd like. Feather might do this as well since it's the one of the sharpest blades you can get.Good luck, but you don't need it. This thing is amazing
highest quality
absolutely the best razor I ever used precision and quality are unmatched by anyone
Mega!
Najlepsza maszynka jaką w życiu miałem. W połączeniu z żyletkami feather wymiata.
Très confortable
Aussi bien les débutants que les initiés peuvent utiliser ce rasoir. C'est un plaisir de changer l'écartement de la lame à son goût pour adapter le rasoir à son type de barbe. Je mets 5 étoiles...
Built like a brick!
I felt a bit lazy after shaving with a straight razor for 10+ years, and wanted something simpler. It's a safety razor, and there's no problem shaving with i.e. Feather, just go on have a great shave.It looks great, and it feels great. No problems reaching any areas, youl'll learn.Have a great shave!
Best wet shave razor
Best razor for wet shaving. Use seeing at 6 for first round of shave. Use seeing 1-2 for second round of shave. Needs some practise if you are coming from Gillette razors. But you will realise that shave quality is very high once you learn how to shave. Always use high quality feather blades with these.
