Go for Gold
Posted by Guest Reviewer on 22nd Oct 2022
Yep, was lucky to get the gold when it was sold here. Great piece of kit. Thought I was wise shaving once a week on setting 6, second passing on 1... I guess the scenarios that these adjustments cover are well beyond my simple week of facial growth (moustaches, locks, heads, legs etc.) Well, hindsight is a great thing. The futur is an amazing mower it will not clog and is very reluctant to hurt you. It is beautifully made and very nicely styled. The clue is probably in the fact that the head is not really conducive to navigating around nostrils. There is a lot of exposure at almost all settings :) and it takes a toll on my skin at least. Very happy with my 37c now tbvh, far less fuss and less skin irritation. As my hair diminishes it may come out of the drawer....

Great adjustable razor
Posted by Martin S on 18th Dec 2021
This is now my go to daily razor. The adjustable settings are particularly easy to use allowing me greater flexibility in my shaving routine. It's quite heavy, which I like but some people may find not to their taste. Great design that combines good looks with functionality.

Beautiful razor
Posted by H Bradshaw on 3rd Sep 2021
Bought this razor after a lot of research and I love it. Being able to to adjust the setting is a big plus. Depending on what blade you use you may want to adjust the aggression of the razor. The Futur does this beautifully.

excellent machine. It is necessary to get used to weight and do pressure lightly.

Great shave
Posted by Paddy on 25th May 2017
Hi all.
I was using a edwin jagger before this for about a year. Its a great razor but i broke it so i decided to get the futur. The first shave i had was good but bloody. I left it at the six setting and i held it wrong. The next shave i had the right grip. I started with setting five for the first pass and three for the second and one for the last. Now i like a very close smooth face after a shave. The futur will give you that and more. Dont add any pressure to your stroke as its heavy already. Id advise to hold the razor in the notch of the handle and start with a high setting and work down. Id also heat the razor before you shave as its steel. And please make sure your hands are dry when changing the setting as you will slip and get a cut.
Im thrilled with it. The best shave i ever got. This includes going to a barber. And thanks to shaving.ie for a quick delivery as always.

Great razor
Posted by Brian on 1st Jul 2015
I really like this razor. I initially bought a starter pack with an Edwin Jagger razor. It worked pretty well but I was constantly nicking my lower neck. What I really like about this razor is that I can set it to 1 for my lower neck and then set it to 3 or 4 for my upper face. I find the handle a bit too smooth but apart from that I would highly recommend.

Amazing razor
Posted by Anton on 6th Jun 2014
I bought this razor for head shaving. This is my first safety razor but results are amazing. I think I will never use cartridge razor again. Pure german quality.

Great razor at a great price
Posted by Mike on 19th May 2014
It takes a few shaves of using it to get the right settings. Other than that, no complaints as it is a well constructed razor.

Best razor i tried so far
Posted by Vali P. on 25th Apr 2014
I am using this razor to shave my head and i can tell you that is the best i tried so far. It's a heavy razor but for me it is perfect because I don't have to put any pressure to obtain the perfect shave. It's made in Germany so no word on the quality, the matte or satin finish it is perfect, it feels perfect in hand and also helps sliding on my head. I am using it with feather blades and i am really pleased, the result it is a perfect shave, no bumps, no irritation, perfect look. Also congratulation shaving.ie for the best web-shopping experience ever. The products i ordered got to my house in 3 days (in Spain). Amazing!!!

The FUTUR is an amazing piece of shaving-art! It has a nice weight, good looks and fantastic build quality. The Merkur Futur's party-piece is the adjusting feature. With this, you can bring out the best in every blade.

Great for beginner
Posted by Toirni on 21st Sep 2013
Got this as my first DE razor, with sample blade pack and tub of Taylor's avocado cream, no problems so far, didn't think it would be this easy use at all. Best blades best for me so far with this are Gillete 7 0'clock. Service was excellent, speedy dispatch.

The Futur of Shaving
Posted by John M on 21st Sep 2013
The Merkur Futur is the ultimate razor. Consistently provides great shaves when paired with Gillette 7 O Clock blades and some Taylors Avocado cream.

An absolute beauty!
Posted by Dave on 21st Sep 2013
I've been using the Futur for about 3 years - it's an amazing piece of kit. The build quality is pure German. As shown in the picture, the finish is brushed chrome, but what you don't appreciate from a picture is weight of this thing - it's a heavy beast. I've recently started to run it with feather blades, dialled back to 2, and I am getting near barber-shop shaves.
