7/14/2015 Head SOTD
First shave with the new Futur. I'll reserve judgement on the shave until I've cranked it all the way up. As far as aesthetics, this razor surprised me a little. Turns out I definitely prefer the shorter handles like the standard Progress and the Fatboy. Not sure if it's just because I've gotten used to those razors, but I definitely found the Futur a little awkward. The matte finish might actually feel more slippery than the standard chrome. I even rubbed some alum on the fingers beforehand. It still felt more slippery than my polished chrome handles. The asymetrical cap bothers my OCD a little bit, but it's manageable...
Neutrogena wash followed by Wet towel soak and Corn Husker's Lotion
Head lathered with Stirling Barbershop using my Omega S brush
2 Pass shave (WTG/XTG) with the Futur and a fresh Astra SP. First pass on 3, second pass on 4.
Finish with hot shower, cold rinse, and Tend Skin
Results were CCS, no weepers or irritation. The angle was a little more difficult to maintain than my Progress or my Fatboy. That may have been mostly due to the lower gap setting. We'll see how things go tomorrow cranked all the way up to 6.
