Hello Everyone!
2 weeks ago I ordered a Merkur Futur online and upon receiving it I noticed the blade did not sit exactly parallel with the blade guard. One side was higher than the other. I contacted the seller and they were very helpful. I asked them if they could open a few they had in stock and hand select one that did not have any problems. They mailed me a replacement the very same day and included a pre-paid shipping label to mail back the defective Futur.
Well, the replacement Futur's blade is indeed parallel with the blade guard throughout all of the 1-6 settings, but I notice that the blade exposure, or gap, from one side to the other side of the razor is slightly different. More gap on one side than the other.
So which one should I keep? The Futur with a blade that isn't parallel with the blade guard, or the Futur that doesn't have the same blade gap from one side to the other?
I thank you all for your expert and very helpful opinions.
