Skeptical at first but very glad I made the purchase!!!!
A little background, I have been wet shaving for about a year-and-a-half now and I absolutely love it. I've tried tons of DE safety razors following in the footsteps of beginners before me, starting with a Merkur 34C. I then progressed to a Mühle R89 which was noticeably more aggressive but still manageable. After purchasing a Gillette Fatboy, it quickly became my go-to Razor. It was very easy to shave with, usually keeping the settings between 3 - 5. I would require several passes to get a smooth shave mainly due to my technique, especially when using a lower setting.Per my acquisition disorder, it did not take long for me to want to buy another razor. After doing a lot of research I came across this one. I noticed a lot of people were saying that it is very aggressive, however once you got used to it it would give you a great shape. As I stated earlier I typically don't have the best form and have been prone to nicks here and there. Even with all of the talk of the aggressiveness, I still felt like trying this razor out ( mainly because it looks amazing). Per the title of this review, I am very happy that I did. I get a consistently great shave with this razor. As one can imagine, it has not been very forgiving but there's still more room for error than with even more aggressive razors. With regard to Quality, the build itself is solid. It is quite heavy and feels very secure with no rattling. The mirror finish of the Chrome model is immaculate and almost looks too good to use lol. It is incredibly easy to change blades and also to disassemble the handle.I did not feel the need to go to end up with this review, as anyone can get online and find tons and tons of reviews for this particular razor. Coming from someone who was skeptical at first, I am very happy that I purchased this and I think it will soon become my favorite razor to use. I highly recommend it if you're on the fence, you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an adjustable razor built like a precision instrument that will last for a lifetime!
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024

I purchased a "QShave" razor a while back to see if I would like this style of razor. For those unfamiliar with it, the patent for this Merkur Adjustable Razor expired and QShave sells Chinese-made copies for about $15. They look similar but lack the weight, balance, materials, finish, and precision tolerances of the Merkur. Paired with a good double edge blade (I started with Derby blades and now use Astra Platinum) and a good shaving soap, this razor will give you an extremely close and comfortable shave. Its weight allows it to give you that close shave without having to use any pressure on the handle, just the weight of it seems to do the job. The fact that it is adjustable, allows you to dial in the aggressiveness of the shave. Newbies might want to start at the 1 or 2 setting, and more experienced shavers might like the 4 or 5 setting. The only thing that I can fault this razor for (and which others have pointed out) is that because of the size of the shaving head, it's a bit tricky to shave right below the nose and if you're careless, you might nick yourself doing it. A bit of practice will take care of that. I gave it four stars for traveling only because it is relatively expensive, and it would be a real shame to lose it on a trip. I use my old QShave for travel, but this razor definitely does a better job.

Just had my first shave with the Merkur Futur with the blade the comes with it, and I have to say, it's definitely one of the best razors out there. The craftsmanship is superb and its precision is outstanding, giving me confidence with each stroke. I'm a bit confused by those who claim they're getting cuts, I didn't experience any nicks, cuts or irritation whatsoever. Overall, this shave was truly exceptional and one of the finest I've had in a while.

I should have gotten this razor years ago when I initially saw it. The ability to adjust how aggressive you want your shave is awesome. I used the Merkur 23C for about 8 years before buying the Futur. I love both, but the 23C may be retired now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed Comparison of Merkur and Parker Razors
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2019
Verified Purchase
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.

I tried numerous cheaper safety razors before purchasing a 'real' version; there is no comparison. This is an heirloom quality product that will last for generations. While perhaps not for beginners, it is not 'carve your face off' dangerous. Using is similar to a single-edge cartridge razor. The only downside is that due to the blade type, traveling with this razor may be problematic and would be an expensive item to have confiscated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes a double edge shaving almost the same as cartridge blades.
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
Verified Purchase
I'll be honest - I have used double edge razors in the past but prefer the simplicity of the cartridge type razor (Gillette Mach 3 Turbo). For me, nothing beats the idiot proof shave offered by the cartridge. I have never had razor burns with it. the only issue of course is the occasional ingrown hair, which can be quite painful. The other issue is that of cost.
My experience with DE razors wasn't that great - prior to this Merkur, I had a fixed settings razor. Getting cut, or a razor burn was common. In short, it wasn't used a whole lot.
After reading a lot of reviews of the adjustable razor, decided to splurge and try that out. My first attempt was at level 4 - and it was no better than the fixed razor. After that initial disappointment, I gave it another attempt - this time at the lowest level. And I was immediately impressed. I was genuinely surprised by how smoothly that went. I get a shave as close as a cartridge blade, with almost no razor burn. I do have to go slowly, let the weight of the razor do the work as opposed to applying hand pressure. This has made shaving somewhat less of a pain. And no razor burn. I am using this razor with the Derby Premium blades (approx $10 for 100 blades) so it's a very cost effective solution.
Overall, I am very pleased with this razor; the build is very nice (I got the chrome edition), the heft is substantial which makes it easy to control. The price is definitely on the higher side, but I think you get what you pay for - a quality product which should last me a long time. And I think within a year I will recover the cost in savings on blades.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schwerer und gründlicher Hobel
Reviewed in Germany on April 9, 2024
Verified Purchase
Hatte schon einmal einen Merkur Futur, den ich knapp 10 Jahre in Verwendung hatte. Irgendwann habe ich ihn einmal nach einer Grundreinigung falsch zusammengebaut und beschädigt. Habe ihn mir damals nicht gleich nachgekauft. Damals hatte ich das matte Modell. War beim verchromten etwas skeptisch, da der Hobel doch zu den Schwergewichten zählt und der Griff sehr glatt aussah.
Griff war im Gebrauch kein Problem. Auch mit nassen Händen ist er erstaunlich griffig. An das Merkurlogo auf dem Deckel kann ich mich bei meinem alten matten Modell nicht erinnern, vielleicht hatte er es einfach nicht. Es war aber ein echter, da ich ihn bei einem kleinen Fachhändler im Laden gekauft habe.

Der Hobel kann zwar von sanft bis aggressiv alles, dennoch würde ich ihn nicht für Anfänger empfehlen. Erstens ist er schwerer als andere und ein Aufdrücken endet meist in Schnitten oder stark gereizter Haut und zweitens wird versucht werden mangelnde Technik durch die Einstellung wett zu machen und die Technik falsch erlernt. Wenn die Ergebnisse nicht passen wird er einfach aggressiver gestellt und man verletzt sich. So bekommt man ein falsches Bild vom Futur. Obwohl er einstellbar ist, verträgt er sich nicht mit allen Klingen. Klingen, mit denen man in anderen Hobeln sehr zufrieden ist, können im Futur zu einer Enttäuschung führen.

Ich würde ihn wieder kaufen, auch wenn es der einzige Hobel ist, mit dem ich keine ordentliche Kopfrasur schaffe. Entweder sie wird nicht gründlich oder ich schneide mich. Von der Rasur eines Zweiwochen Bartes bis zur täglichen Rasur kann es alles, es ist nur eine Frage der richtigen Einstellung.

5.0 out of 5 stars Il mio rasoio preferito!
Reviewed in Italy on March 3, 2024
Verified Purchase
Il rasoio ha una costruzione davvero eccellente, bellissima la cromatura e dettagli molto curati. Comodo l'inserimento a scatto della testina, avevo dei dubbi e a riguardo pensando che il serraggio sarebbe stato insufficiente, ma la lametta viene perfettamente tenuta saldamente in sede. La testa è leggermente più grande e massiccia rispetto ad un rasoio classico, ma questo non comporta alcun fastidio, anzi, le sue forme arrotondate sono piacevoli sia alla vista che sulla pelle e si comporta molto bene anche nei punti notoriamente più difficili del volto. Rasoio pesante, per me un pregio, ci si abitua subito, praticamente ci si rade senza fare alcuna pressione, manico liscio, ma la scanalatura presente, fa si che la presa sia comunque salda. La possibilità di regolazione è sicuramente un pregio non da poco, e fa si che si possa adattare ad ogni tipo di pelle e di barba. Non sono neofita, posseggo diversi rasoi e mi rado con rasoi di sicurezza da quando avevo 15 anni e, leggendo le recensioni che lo descrivono come "aggressivo", alla prima rasatura sono andato con cautela... Nulla di più falso! Armato con lametta Astra Verde, preparato il viso con una crema prebarba e poi schiumato con una buona crema da barba, Il rasoio scorre che è una meraviglia tant'è che dopo pochi secondi avevo già portato la regolazione su valori più alti, e il risultato è stato veloce e sbalorditivo! Rasoio a mio modesto parrere adatto a tutti, esperti che potranno godere di un prodotto di fattura davvero eccellente e principianti, che viaggiando su valori come 1 o 1 e mezzo non avranno alcun problema. Un must have dei rasoi di sicurezza, al momento il mio preferito. Consigliatissimo.
