I recently bought a Futur and i think its a good razor,,the only thing i find the head of it too big, witch makes it harder to shave under the nose and sideburns, i am wondering if the Merkur Progress head is smaller or egal to the Futur one?

I've only seen the futur in a store, but its big, and the dome is quite pronounced on the head. The Progress looked to me that it's pretty close in head size to the HD.
I don't own either though, so others probably have a better comparison.

I'm not one who likes the thicker head on a razor. I had a progress and found the head to be too thick also. The razor I've found that works the best, especially for getting under the nose, is the Merkur 1904. That's my go to razor now. The HD has the same size head as the 1904, and thats my second razor. I have fairly large hands and a tough beard, but that 1904 gives me one fine shave. 
The Progress and the HD have a similar sized head. Progress is slightly larger. The Futur dwarfs both.
