Bought a matte finish futur today and ran home to shave with it. I used the merkur blade that came with it and set the razor to 2. With a 2 pass shave (wtg, xtg), had my best shave ever. No irritation and super close DFS.
Have been using a EJ DE89L and it is a great razor but have never gotten this close of a shave without irritation, especially around my lower neck. I really like the feedback I get from the futur and maintaining the proper angle with this razor was easy. Really like the bigger size and extra weight.
