    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.

    Razor: Gillette slim adjustable-MFG 1962,H1, great adjustable razor, easy to use and was a favorite for many folks for decades.
    Blade: Gillette Astra SP(1) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with good longevity. My standard for testing other blades and razors.
    Soap: Razorock Don Marco - nice Citrus scent, with excellent lather qualities, nice scent to have near the end of winter months.
    Brush: Yaqi Lucky dice 26 mm- Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter.(nice brush for big hands)
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso Green with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my Gillette slim + a Gillette Astra blade.
