Hello everybody, I did not post for a while because I had so much work to do,but now I must share my joy with you! I am shaving maybe a month with Merkur Futur - the daddy of all razors and before half an hour I did receive a BBS shave from it AGAIN. It's big, it's heavy and it's... adjustable I can use it on 1 on my neck and on 4,5 on my head and the result is amazing! I just love it! My EJ is sitting now in the corner and maybe soon I will give it to shave my face, to not to feel lonely, but on my head - Merkur Futur. Here comes the funny thing - EJ is more forgiving as the Futur, but I receive more cuts from it and it last longer to shave, with the Futur I save 5-10mins every time /5 if I shave only my head and 10 if I shave head + face/. The reason is definitely the pressure - with the Futur I just dont press and I know that you did read before "let the weight of the razor do the job" but believe me friends you dont know the meaning of these words if you are not shaving with Futur... with EJ I did fast short strokes and one long with little pressure it was just impossible to shave another way, but now... I love my Futur I dont recommend aggressive blades in it even on 1. I did shave one time with polsilver and it was a bloodbath... I dont know if the problem is in me or in the blades but before 2-3 years polsilvers were my favorites, now it is just disaster to shave with them, I dont know what did happen with the quality. For now I am using only Arko shaving sticks but I want somthing more oily... thinking about black Kent, something for hard water... So what blades do you use in your Futur? On which settings? What soap do you like with your Futur?
