I broke down and ordered one on Monday, as well. Ironically, this will be one of my least expensive razors.
Still waiting on my order from Regiment Shaving. According to the USPS thingy it got hung up along the way. Maybe here today. Fingers crossed! According to USPS it'll be waiting for me.
I'm curious to see. On one hand, I'm intimidated by the reported blade gap. My Fatboy never makes it above '5' while the Futur starts at it's 9. On the other hand, I've been reading that the design of the razor is such that the gap really isn't an issue. I figure that as long as I don't injure myself to the point that I have to explain it to DW or DD, then everything will be fine and I can always PIF it if I don't like it.
BTW on the future clone you can start below 1, you can start at .5. Also I used it on 2 and normally shave with my FB on 5.
I'm waiting for these to come in ! I spent way too much on these. But after a year of trying , I went for it.
Those two factors, the give away price & the ability to go beyond Fat Boy at 9, were my gotta try one decision makers. I've not used many modern razors but the Jetson/Star Trek styling of the Futur has caught my eye in STOD photos. Thank you Enablers!
I ordered 2 of the Futur knockoffs. I have a Merkur Futur but wanted to see what this knockoff was about, I'll give 1 to my son. I think I paid under $6 for both.
I have two similar razors like yours, but mine says "Made In Germany" under the caps. Also, one is a travel razor. And I did try one of them, my advice, be careful. Edit: forgot this pic..............
Good Score. Hopefully your soap still has some kick to it. I received an NOS 3 weeks ago and very light on the scent but still a great performer
I think it was Fuzzy @wchnu that adds a splash of AS to refresh the scent of his old Old Spice spice soap.
