Review: desertcart sells this at the lowest price available -The ultimate quality Merkur Futur safety razor! - There may be a better safety razor out there, but I will never know as I have found the best safety razor I could imagine and will likely stay with this type until my whiskers stop growing. This Merkur Futur arrived in perfect, brand new condition, with zero flaws noted anywhere on/in the razor. The razor is burly yet sleek -i.e. it's "manly". It's perfectly balanced heavy weight (1/4 pound), facilitates the shave processes. It is unmatched in design/engineering, production, quality and reputation (I have used other Merkur shave products); the shave may only be bested by a straight edge shave by a professional. One of the best aspects - is the dial adjust feature built into the razor; no need to remove the razor head and insert different plates, etc.; just dial up/down the desired shave strength. I purchased the brushed chrome version because I find it most aesthetically pleasing -it looks and feels as the highest quality - it also cleans easily, stray soap, other does not seem to stick to the razor (it is wiped down with a clean cloth after each use). To all potential users -beginners to experienced- GO SLOW, especially for the first shaves - this razor is made to shave whatever it is pointed at - if it's pointed/moved in the wrong direction - it will still efficiently cut whatever is in its path. Upon first use it felt very powerful/(aggressive as others say) compared to my other wet shave safety razors. I started with the lowest setting - 1, with a new (Feather brand) blade and the razor, because of its heavy weight and excellent balance, seems to almost shave by itself - the hand is only needed to guide the razor. Set aside a little more time than the usual shave requires, because this is requires focus (until one is accustomed to using it). CAUTION: two areas noted by others that required very careful actions: removing the razor head cap (to extract/insert a blade) and the adjustment function. Both of these actions can be accomplished safely without grabbing the the top/cap of the razor head. The adjustment dial can be turned by holding the razor just below the razor's head with one hand (two fingers) and the lower part of the handle can be turned with the other fingers. The razor head cap has a slight protrusion on one side that is used to lift the cap, from below, using a thumb (lift one side then the other from below. Never grab this razor from the top/by holding the cap from above - especially when a blade is loaded and your hand is wet. It is made to cut anything that is put into its path. I use this daily, with two passes per shave - as more, in my case, is not needed. I highly recommend this Merkur Futur wet shave razor to anyone; the high quality of service provided by desertcart and seller and the absolute best/lowest price for the highest quality are what you will get.
Review: 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 desertcart 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Going Back to Disposables... EVER
*by P***F on March 14, 2023*

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.
