Been using my Merkur Futur daily now for some time, and after experimenting with the settings, finally settled on number 3 as my comfort setting. There are certain blades e.g. Lord, which require a tweak to setting 4 to give the best shave, and Feathers, which can be fine at the less aggresive setting 2. I have come across a few blades which some forum users say are fine ( e.g. Shark Platinum) but I can't get a decent shave with. I thought that with 6 settings. the Futur would be the only razor I would need, but I think it's time to look at others. I have a fairly tough growth and, as I shave daily, my skin can take a fairly aggresive approach without too much aggro. In summary, I am looking to buy another decent razor, but have no idea which one to go for. Can some kind member point me in the right direction with pros and cons ?
