    Hi, all!
    Firstly, I must say that I don't have the original Merkur Futur so I can't compare it. But I'll try to describe it. I bought this safety razor online from aliexpress.com but I'm aware that it's also sold on ebay.com.
    The razor has 3 color options; golden/black and matte black. The listing has golden color razor but if you pm the seller they send the color as you wish.
    This safety razor has a perfect matte finishing. It doesn't fade or discolor. I dropped it to the wash basin once but there is no coating loss, just a tiny bruise which can barely seen on it.
    This DE razor is adjustable and has 6 settings and I must admit it's aggressive. I always set it at 1. The cutting noise is impressive, the noisiest razor I've ever heard! You can hear each hair going down. It's indeed a noisy DE razor. You can imagine how aggressive it is :)
    The razor is made of high quality materials, you can feel the quality when you hold it.
    I shared the photos of the razor on monthly haul and just wanted to show you this Chinese beauty here.

    How does it compare with your vintage adjustable in terms of aggression/efficiency and smoothness?

    Well, I always use my fat boy/slim and super adjustable on 7, but I couldn't set it above 2 and always use on 1 on this clone razor.
    It's an efficient razor, gives CCS generally and BBS rarely. I had BBS results at the cheek area but couldn't achieve BBS result on the neck are ever.

    I admit, I'm curious. But I dislike the cheap model kit look of the gold plating.
