Futur Measure of a Man
Years ago I used a Futur as my daily driver, but I moved on to others. I recently acquired one again. It certainly sings louder than most other razors I've used and gets really close wide open. Today I used it on 6 for my cheeks and 2 for my neck. I think I'll go with 5-1 next time. I got a couple little weepers and a little irritation, but nothing major. FMOM is just amazing.

Thank you for sharing about Preti - what a talented artist!
I switch to mostly balms for my sensitive skin, too.

 

Nice clean pic, Gary. That Gillette case (with the included card) is awesome!
