I got my fathers day gift a day early and shaved with it for the first time today. The Futur is awesome! I have been using an EJ DE89 for my first 6 months of DE shaving. It has been ok but a bit too mild for me. The Futur is definitely a step up. Plowed through my 3 day old beard on the first setting. Only had one small nick. I was a bit worried because of all the talk about its aggressiveness but on the first setting i did fine. Also shaving under the nose was easy-some people say it is an issue for them. If anything i would say it shaves better under the nose than my EJ. Definitely recommended.
