was my first DE razor. I used it for about two years exclusively with only Merkur blades, often with canned goop in the shower. It was still light years ahead of the Mach III. I should go back and try it again now that I have learned about proper prep, technique, etc. It really is a beautiful razor.
They do benefit from some silicone grease applied to the adjuster threads. There are disassembly instructions on Shave My Face. I bought the grease from Giovanni, but maybe the Shoe Box will carry it at some time in the future. Enjoy your new Futur!
