  • What’s all the fuss about this razor!!?
Color: Bright Gold
I have been shaving with a Feather Artist Club shavette — one clean shave puts me on an alternating day schedule. I have full growth with softer hair. I read all about this razor and the love and hate relationship people have with it! This thing is a God-send because I achieved better results than the feather shavette because of the twisted angles to deal with under the chin and neck with a shavette. I shaved on level 6 just to see how bad can this razor go and Voila! Some very minor scrapes but no bloodbath. That is the best setting. There is quite a satisfying sound to it when it scrapes. My face feels like an ice rink… silky smooth! I absolutely love it and in fact will be ordering the frosted chrome version too. I got the Gold one and also bought its leather case. Highly recommend it! ... show more

  • Top of the line razor
Color: Bright Chrome
Best shave I have ever had. Hot shower, Proraso pre shave cream, Proraso shave cream, Dovo razor blade, #3 setting. The first and only time I have been able to shave entire face with just 1 pass. Perfectly weighted razor, perfect length. So smooth I smiled the whole time shaving. A little difficult to clean because you have to be so careful handling removing head and blade. Hands down beats my Parker Variant and Muhle grande. If possible I would give it a 6 star rating. ... show more

  • Best Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor
Color: Matte Chrome
I have been shaving with a double edge razor for over 5 years and have had many razors. I have had 2 previous adjustable razors and this is by far the best one. Easy to load, can adjust mid-shave, nice weight and length to the razor. If you want an adjustable razor, buy this one.

  • Not Going Back to Disposables... EVER
Color: Matte Chrome
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. ... show more

  • Detailed Comparison of Merkur and Parker Razors
Color: Bright Chrome
My hair is curly. Because I have beard that is very thick in some spots but rather thin in others, and further because I have sensitive skin, it was impossible to shave with a cartridge razor without getting shaving bumps. I switched to a safety razor ten years ago; during that time I extensively used 4 different safety razors. Contrary to the assertions of many reviewers, there are only a few relevant factors in choosing a safety razor: A) blade exposure, angle, and gap; B) handle weight and shape; and C) durability. Let me dispatch with the other possibilities, first. 1) Reviewers complain that the Futur is slippery because there is no knurling on the handle, but this is ridiculous--it is just as slippery as any other nickel-plated razor of the same weight. 2) Reviewers complain that the twist mechanism is unsafe--anyone exercising common sense should be able to figure out how to hold the razor while turning the handle to adjust the blade without cutting themselves. 3) Reviewers complain that the top bar of the razor is too big for them to shave under their nose--but again, common sense would suggest that, for people with shallow nose:lip angles, pulling downward on the upper lip before making a with-the-grain pass will allow for a proper shave of the area. Finally, 4) reviewers complain that the blade is exposed for too long while being changed--but, again, any normal adult should be able to handle a double edge razor blade without cutting themselves. I use the Futur to shave my face and head multiple times per week for months, with and against the grain, and I have never cut myself. This review will compare the Merkur Long Handle 3 Piece (i), Short Handle 2 Piece (ii), and Futur (iv), as well as the Parker Long Handle Super Heavy (iii). i) Is the least aggressive of the four. So little of the blade is exposed, and it is at such a shallow angle and with so little spacing between the safety bars, and it is so light, that I cannot get a with-the-grain shave without either applying pressure or making multiple passes. Either way, for someone with a moderate to heavy beard, this razor may give you irritation. It is, however, a great candidate for travelling, since the 3 pieces mean it disassembles flat. ii) Is the second least aggressive. I get a good shave after one with- and one against-the-grain pass, and a very close shave after a second against the grain pass. However, it is still light enough that I need to apply pressure while going over the thicker areas of my beard. This is the razor I would recommend for most first time wet-shavers. iii) This is the most aggressive of the fixed blade safety razors. It is sufficiently heavy that absolutely no additional pressure is needed, and the razor provides a rather close shave after one with- and one against-the-grain pass. I use this razor when I have shaved within the last 36 hours or whenever I travel. It is evident from the construction that it is extremely durable, as compared to the Futur. iv) This adjustable razor has the blade angle of ii) at setting 1 and of iii) at setting 3; at setting 6 it is considerably more aggressive than anything else I have tried. I use this razor whenever my head or beard has been growing for more than 36 hours--first pass with-the-grain setting 6, second pass against-the-grain setting 3, which provides a rather close shave even if I have a week of beard/hair growth. A third pass against-the-grain at setting 6 provides an extremely close shave. Furthermore, the large gap between the safety bars make it possible to cut through a week of growth with only a few strokes-per-pass, since unlike other razors, the cut hairs do not clog the spaces between the blade and safety bars. This is the only true safety razor (that is, a fixed blade razor with top and bottom safety bars) I have tried where this is the case, and for that reason, I highly recommend it for anyone who infrequently shaves their face or head. However, the mechanism which holds the top safety bar in place, thereby securing the razor blade, seems considerably less durable than any other mechanism I have seen: the inward and downward pressure of two thin metal rods is all that holds the top bar in place, as opposed to one large (i & ii) or two medium (iii) screws. For this reason, and also because of its weight, this is by far the least drop resistant of the razors. I would not travel with it. For those of you considering the Merkur Progress, I would simply say: if your beard is medium thickness or if you have sensitive skin, the Futur is likely the better bet. The Progress is even more aggressive than the Futur, so even on the lowest setting, it is impossible to simulate the Short Handle 2 Piece. For those of you considering the Parker Variant, you should be aware that you might have to exchange the one you receive for a new one--there seems to be an issue where the blade sits unevenly and insecurely when you get a lemon, making an otherwise great razor unusable. A good Parker Variant is likely comparable, if not superior, to the Futur. But both have their durability/manufacturing/shipping issues. ... show more
