Merkur Futur Adjustable DE Razor (Matt Chrome)

Product Review (submitted on 19 October 2018):

After having used the Edwin Jagger DE89 for quite a few months (using many different makes of blades and still unsure what my preferred blade would be) I thought I’d make a step up and buy this! I have found, that for my skin type which can be quite sensitive at times, even setting 2 can be quite aggressive! However, thanks to the Futur, I have also found what my ideal blade would be (Derby extra). There is definitely truth in the saying “respect the metal”, it’s a heavy piece of kit and having learned the hard way, only a very light amount of pressure is needed (let the weight of the razor do the work). Also, personally for me, I think the higher settings would work better on a heavier beard growth and the lowest for an everyday shave! All in all, IMO it’s a very nice looking razor and I would definitely recommend as the different aggressiveness settings would suit many different types of people!
