What's new

are the merkur futur and slant supposed to come with a case?

I paid ~15$ for the leather Futur case. I bought mine at the same place as I bought the razor. Some places sell them and some dont. Often they are hidden and not displayed at the same page as the razors.
 
The only one that seems to come with a case is the Progress, and even that seems to depend on whom you buy it from. The case itself is nothing to write home about anyway.

My Merkur HD Rake Edge came with a case and I also saw a Merkur Slant with a case as well. I know the Futur doesn't come with a case but I've seen one sold seperatly (A sort-of leather one) but its almost as expensive as the razor itself. I can't justify paying the same amount for a case.

The only Merkur I've gotten in case is a Merkur Progress. The cased one has a separate model number and costs a few bucks more. A picture of the case:

No, they are "cased" commensurate with their quality, in a thin cardboard box with one lousy blade ..
Hey now, that is some FINE cardboard casing the Merkurs ship in . . . it is a little known fact that the Germany, while known primarily for their automobile manufacturing and craft beer production, also produces some of the world's finest corrugated products. :biggrin:
