I got me a gold model...these things are FANTASTIC. I just set and forget at a 2 setting for a 3 pass and man...perfect! Watch out with the feathers though, this is a VERY close shave.
DaveMcIroy My 25th birthday is in a couple of days. But I don't think I'm going to celebrate it, it's so close to christmas and all... Anyone else want to join in to the CHAT?
thanks for the vid. hey rizigs: how easy is it to clear long hairs that get stuck on the razor and wont easily wash out? i'm using merkur 37c and it's a challenge to clear hairs longer than a stub, as I shave my head with it as well. thanks for the advice.
The Merkur Futur 700 will hold your hole life. This Razor looks like new after years. This is the only razor you need. For me, the best razor all time. Amazing shaves amazing build quality.
You pronounce it phonetically: Mare-coor Foo-tour (speak the known english words to get the right sound!) Thanks for showing and greetings from Germany.
Absolutely, any double edge blade is recommended. I also would recommend you to use the lowest setting (1) if you get this exact model. Once you get the hang of it, you can increase the setting for a closer shave.
+Patrick Hutton it's not the closest at 1, but better than any 5 blader. I don't use this for beard line up. I use a shavette, I actually learned to use a shavette before double edge. Is it possible? Absolutely, but if your main concern is to line up, get into shavette or straight edge.
Setting a 1 corresponds to a more mild shave. That is, in a single pass, it listens to say less hair, than when setting 3. According to this, when setting up the 1 you can move a razor carelessly, without fear of cuts. But the passages will make 2-3 need. When setting 3 on the contrary you will make fewer passes, but you must be careful because it's easier to cut yourself. With this razor you will be a little harder to start familiarizing with the T-razors. Because it is large and heavy. If you have large arms, take it. But then if you learn to use it, then it will replace you all the razor immediately. Since it is possible to make different settings for different hair length and sharpness of the blade. Hair length and mild blade setting 3-5, the hair is shorter and blades Feather - setting 1-2, for everyday shaving. Futur one of the most aggressive, but also effective razors. No need to be afraid it. You just need to get used to it, for a while, adjust it to fit your needs and enjoy. It can shave is cleaner and more comfortable than any cartridge razors. Shave face, trimming beards, shave your head, whatever.
Hey dude. Very very cool video. I liked to watch the cutting action xD And Futur is pronouced Fu like Foo and tur like tour. So just like footour. It a german word for future in the gramar. Futur ;-) So long: Dankeschön für das tolle Video. Mach weiter so! ;-)
Never wanted to buy this. I think it looks ugly if I was going to try that style of razor I would get the Mingshi or Qshave . I’m happy with my Shavette and MuhleR41 I would get the Progress,34G and the 37 slant

I use shavettes more often so i gave it to my dad and he loves it!
Best review because you clearly show the lock-up mechanism
I'm so happy you liked the review!
Great video. That razor is on my wish list. From one of your new subscribers.👍
+Kensurfs It's comments like that, that keep me making videos!
Thank you!
Great razor. I call mine “ Gort. “ The robot from “ The Day the Earth Stood Still.”
My dad has been using it ever since I released the review. It's still perfect!
once its locked in place does the top cap move or wiggle at all?
Nope!
You can get these now for $65 at Amazon as of April 2019
Thank you, I was not aware their pricing dropped significantly! Thanks for sharing!
The first time you had it! It pops only on one side!
Wish Astra would double wrap their blades again.
That's more waste on the planet, but yes it will be better!
My holidyas are almost over and I'm going to the gym soon.

what music did you use in this video...let me know please
it's mild and didn't overlap your voice...that's nice and thanks for the video...
Mechanical Rocks hi there, unfortunately I don’t remember. But checkout audio jungle they have a ton of tracks!
It has been seven months. Do you still use this razor, and how do you like it?
ndrthrdr1 Absolutely, i've been using it for 2 years now.

Depends how long is long, this will take down a full weeks growth. My hair grows fast!
However you will need to clean the edges once in a while.
The best safety razor in my opinion. VERY aggressive though.
Personally I don't think so at all. Maybe the blade you are using?
+rizigs yep, cheap blades makes it a rough shave
How’s the quality? I’m looking to get this one but worried how long it’ll last
I've given this to my dad around 7 years ago, he is still using it today!

I bought a clone, 25 blades and a brush for under 17 bucks on ebay :)
Was the clone good?
They’re never the same, trust me

Would you recommend this for a complete beginner to shaving?
Absolutely, any double edge blade is recommended. I also would recommend you to use the lowest setting (1) if you get this exact model.
Once you get the hang of it, you can increase the setting for a closer shave.
rizigs Thanks.
Can you get a close shave with 1? Also can the razor be used for sharp beard lines?
rizigs sorry didn't read your reply earlier about shaving closeness with 1. Would level 1 give a close a shave as a cartridge razor?
+Patrick Hutton it's not the closest at 1, but better than any 5 blader.

Thanks for letting me know Chris :)
Thanks for this!
Thanks for the review
Why all the "magic" about un-boxing?
No idea, some people love it, some don't.
@@rizi Maybe it reminds them of opening their Christmas presents.

Gillette Silver blue has 2X packaging
So don’t buy it. What’s the issue?
He has a user issue. The razor is amazing. Don't buy the clone.
Годнота сэр!
