Before You Buy: Merkur Futur Razor

Today’s SOTD didn’t go as planned—and that’s exactly why you need to watch this if you’re considering the Merkur Futur adjustable razor. With heavy growth to remove, I put the Merkur Futur to the test and quickly realized this DE safety razor can be far more aggressive than expected—even on the lowest setting. I paired it with Zingari Man “Il Signore” shaving soap, which delivered an incredible lather with amazing slickness and residual glide. While the soap performed flawlessly, the razor forced me to stay cautious, ultimately leading me to finish with the Henson AL13 mild—one of the best beginner safety razors. In this video, I show how to load, adjust, and shave with the Merkur Futur while sharing honest feedback for anyone new to traditional wet shaving or looking to upgrade their double edge razor. If you’re researching safety razors, adjustable razors, or the Merkur Futur—this video is for you. 👍 Like, 💬 comment your experience, 🔁 share, and 🔔 subscribe for more wet shaving content! 📸 Follow on Instagram: @shave_and_chat #wetshaving #merkurfutur #safetyrazor #deshaving #traditionalshaving Below are products that have been used in this video Thank you to my amazing sponsor!
