( blade question ) Merkur Futur user

Hello,

Which blades ( especially from the Treet and Lord brands ) do you recommend for this razor ?

I'm currently using it at setting 6 with Astra Superior Platinium / Rapira Super Stainless blades but i'd like to try out other blades .

Thank you .

Set to 6? Wow. On how many days growth?

Last time I used my Futur (it is new to me, I've used it twice) I had a Derby Premium in it. I set mine to "4".

It was a closer shave than the same blade in my Fatboy set to "9", but with more feedback with the alum and AS.

I have Shark platinums, which are my only "Lord" produced blades, but I haven't used them in anything for months.

I like the Treet Falcon, Classic and particularly DuraSharp blades.
Lord blades I really like are Shark Super Stainless and Lord Platinum. I hear great things about Silver Stars but haven't tried them.

I had a Futur and it would tear my face off even at setting 1. Is your nose still attached to your face

What works for me might not work for you. Only way to find out is to buy a couple sample packs and try them out.

The Futur is safe on six.

Oh yeah. You just give up caffeine entirely and take two hours to shave!

Since you asked, my favorite Lord blades are the Silver Stars, very nice blades IME.
