I do a 3 passes on my face and 2 passes on the neck. Last night I used the Futur on 4 for 1st 2 passes and then on 1 for last pass. I still had to the bulk of my shave time touching up on chin, neck, and cheek areas. Is there any tips to get more beard mowed on the beginning passes? I have I heavy beard.

You might try a more aggressive setting on the first pass with the Futur.
Posts like this make me glad I don't have a heavy beard. This morning I used a Futur set on 1 for all three passes and got a BBS shave after just a little touch up. That being said, more aggressive at the start should reduce the beard more and maybe bump it up to two on the end. What kind of blades are you using?

You may already be doing the best you can. I can do two passes, or four, but still have to do extensive touch up in several areas. Just the nature of my beard "map" and the creases in my skin.
Another option might be skin stretching...put a little alum on your fingers to help grip the skin and pull it tight in your trouble spots. Check out some videos on straight razor shaving for ideas on technique.
Different razors shave differently for me on the first pass (or subsequent ones). You may want to try an open comb or a slant.
