Hello TSD - I'm back to the Merkur Futur focus - with new blade, brush and soap.

- I Coloniali Mango
- Semogue 1460
- Merkur Futur on 4
- Feather blade
- La Toja After Shave Lotion
Another pleasant, effortless shave with the Futur. Did I mention this razor is awesome?
Tried Feather blades for the first time today, so I thought I'd better turn it down a notch and just start on 4. Two passes, WTG and A/XTG, no touchups. Compared to the Slim I have to say the Futur is a much better razor (which doesn't mean the Slim is a bad one, it's just not as good). Effortless, smooth, efficient and by no means aggressive. I don't have any other razor that gives me close shaves like that in such a casual manner. Hard to describe how shaving with the Futur feels like ... as if it "sucks" itself to the skin with every stroke and just wipes the whiskers off the face
Paired with the Feather blade it might even be a tiny bit better than with the Sputnik.
The wonderful scent of the I Coloniali soap intermixed nicely with the smell of La Toja - great finish for this shave. Borderline BBS, just a few tiny spots on my neck still a little rough.
I think I'll use the Futur until sunday and then swith to the Merkur Progress for the last week of January. I haven't used the Progress for quite a while and I'm very curious how these two compare.
