Wise choice!

Go for the Merkur Futur for an even more aggressive shave. The slant is efficient yet surprisingly mild. I don't get how people say it's aggressive. I would even recommend it to beginners.

@geofatboy

3 жыл бұрын

The Futur is great, though some have difficulty shaving directly under the nose with it because of the oversized head and need to clean up that area with a razor that has a smaller head. The Progress is a great choice that uses more of a standard size head so it eliminates that issue: bit.ly/MerkurFuturSN bit.ly/ProgressRazorsSN

I like Mercur. I bought 34c, Progress, 11c, 37c. I bought them because I wanted completely small fat boys from Solingen. I prefer, but 34c is the best and I have no problem getting on a smooth face. I wanted 11c because it is no longer produced. Progress because I wanted one adjustable razor. 37c because it is so special, different and so beautiful. I will not buy more machines. I use exclusively Speick or Lavera cosmetics. I buy exclusively from Europe, due to ecology and the support of local industry. Geo, have a nice day and thank you for your videos. Honza

There was an ad before the video started for ball (testicle) deodorant. Anyways this a a great video. Same situation. I don’t do well fragrance and it burns my skin (lips) when I have a eczema flare up. I’ll check out the store. Not sure if I want the large or shorter handle as I have the 34c already.

Some of the ads are totally unrelated to shaving. I get plus size ladies donning some lycra clothing to make them look slimmer. Not sure why that one pops up... Maybe the algorithm hears Geofatboy and signals it.

I can always feel the 30 degree angle with the safety razor but the straight razor is still somewhat of a mystery. Many cuts to date but not giving up.

Could you also have more reviews of different shave creams/soaps? You usually use Proraso, or Tailor of Old Bond Street mostly, though you mix it up sometimes. Wish you could have more reviews on the products as well as the razors. During my research I found several interesting shaving creams and soaps, that I have put on my list to try.

@@xatzis243 Neither are aggressive. This is coming from someone who can't shave against the grain on the face. From experience, the 6S provides the best shave but it really breaks your wallet. You can't really expose the blade - per se - in the Futur, but it does look cool. I personally believe it's overhyped, to say the least.
