Merkur Futur Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razors

I used to avoid using a razor due to safety concerns and the need for a barber’s expertise. However, owning this Merkur Futur 702 safety razor has been a game-changer—it’s incredibly safe, of premium quality, and truly amazing.

Muy buena maquina de afeitar. Después de leer y ver muchas reseñas estaba algo indeciso en comprarla sobre todo por el tema de que la cabeza es muy grande y que la calidad no es muy buena, pero apenas lo acabo de recibir y recién lo use, el material y calidad de construcción son excelentes de nuevo, lo use en el nivel 6 y es bastante agresivo, si tuve un par de cortadas a la primera pasada, por lo que decidí bajarlo al nivel 4, quede muy satisfecho pues me dejó el BBS que estaba buscando con una hoja derby. La compré porque tengo una EJ89 la cual es muy buena pero a mi gusto le falta más agresividad, después me hice de una Mühle R41 y es demasiado agresiva para uso regular, aunque son impresionantes los resultados que te da, después compre la Merkur 37c slant y creo que le falta un poco mas de agresividad para dejarte el BBS perfecto, por lo cual compré la Merkur Futur, y en esta primera vez que la uso, me dejo muy impresionado del excelente resultado, y rasurar el bigote no me dio nada de problema, tampoco se me resbaló y eso que me rastro dentro del baño de vapor, aunque si se agradecería algún molestado en el mango para tener un mejor agarre.

Before I bought this razor I read dozens of reviews. Some negative, some positive. However, I just wanted to summarize what I personally found to be true about this razor and hopefully it will help others a bit more in deciding to buy this product. 1. Price is a bit on the expensive end. Even though it is a very nicely made razor the price could be lower. 2. Even though this is my first DE razor, I love it and won't buy another one for many many years. It works 100% as advertized. 3. Safety issues that are reported on some reviews and forums are overblown. The razor is not slippery when shaving as the indent on the handle helps to hold it in place. I did find that adjusting the blade gap with wet hands can cause fingers to slip off the head, however, using a towel or a paper towel solves that issue. 4. Adjustable blade gap makes it very easy to use, although, it takes a few shaves to find the perfect numbers. I use one number for the first pass and lower it for the subsequent passes. This way I find I get less irritation and finish shaving faster. 5. The razor is quite heavy allowing me to shave without applying almost any pressure which in turn prevents irritation. 6. Some people reported that the blade vibrates due to the fact that the razor does not have screws and holds the blade with clips. I found this to be untrue. The blade is held in place nicely and tight and glides across the skin smoothly.

I’ve been using a Merkur long handle ‘barber pole’ DE razor (with Feather blades) for 10 years, so I went in knowing this was going to be a razor to respect - and it is. There is a reason they call it ‘the potato peeler’. Go very light and gentle, let the handle and a good blade do the work. I’ve never used it above the #4 setting, even with a heavy growth. I see guys using this on YouTube and they are speeding through, with short strokes, hacking away. No wonder they get cut - go slow and steady and respect the razor. Closest, smoothest shave I’ve ever had.
