I just received the Merkur Futur, and as an experienced DE user, my primary thought was: "Why didn't I order this earlier?"I use a simple shave product (Proraso, Kiehl's, etc.) on wet skin after a shower. I shave quickly with one or two passes. The Futur leaves me with a closer shave and fewer cuts. Let the blade do the cutting; a more aggressive setting allows for a lighter touch.Bottom line: if you have solid technique, you very likely will get a closer shave versus the traditional Merkur. My prior concerns about aggressiveness were unwarranted. Furthermore, if you buy the blades in bulk, you will have blades for quite a while, at pennies per blade.
