blade for futur

Personally I LOVE a Precision blade in my future!!
I'm wondering this, too ... I've only had my Futur about 3 weeks, and used it about a half-dozen times.
My 3 favorite blades are Feather, Astra, and Derby ... I've tried them all, and still haven't found the right blade + adjustment. I recently scored some Iridium blades ... I'll give them a go next time.
I love the heftiness and handle ... still trying to re-learn how to get the most out of an adjustable, though.

I found that if I didn't paid attention, the Futur could bite and this was most apparent with a Feather. There is a lot of talk about the Slant needing good technique and this is true, but the Futur needs just as much. I'd maybe try the blade you found smoothest rather than sharpest- I like the white-label Wilkies, but I know a lot of members don't.
I have used in my futur, swedish gillette, derby, bic, red personna, treet and Crystal (IP’s) and IPs are the best for me (no nicks or cuts and I get a BBS shave)
My favorites are Gillette 7 o clock Yellows or Feathers
For me its Crystals and red Personnas
A Futur and a Slant are back-up razors to my straights. I use the the Merkur blades that came with them in three passes and get great BBS shaves. When I run out I'll try 7 O'clock sharp edges and Derbys.
The Futur is one of my 2 favorites, finding the right blade actually took me forever, (over 6 months with almost daily use) I found an IP worked best for me, the feather, even tho one of my favorite blades was a bit to mean for my taste. However, It works the best in my other favorite, My slant.
I'll take mine with Super Iridiums or Crystals/Red personnas, in that order.
