I have a Merkur Futur, which lost some plating and now is corroded and unajustable. Only solid SS razors for me from now on, and I'm going to dump the Merkur!
Hi Everyone!
I am working on getting a razor from this drop up soon. I will also try to run Feather again as soon as I can.
I will keep you posted once I know more.
Thank you all for voting!
+1 for the Weber. It's the only stainless steel razor in its price bracket.
If we could get a decent deal on this, it won't be much more expensive than the common pot metal or stamped razor.
*Wouldn't be mad if the Feather drops though.
I used the Merkur Futur through a loaner program and loved it... Although it really could use a less slick surface.... That is the single downfall of that razor. I also agree that the Parkers are inexpensive enough, please don't do a drop for them!
Why is the Feather AS-D2 listed twice? Why is the Merkur Futur listed twice? Having duplicates of the same razor show up in the voting will just dilute votes for those razors.
Also, it might be better to group the iKon razors together and just give people the option of head-style in the group buy if that razor gets selected.
I agree the Futur should be part of the poll, but one cannot assume that it is THE best choice for users (especially the experienced ones)
For one, the Futur's head is THICK; so it can get can be a hassle to shave the corner underneath your nose with it.
Another is that the handle's fine bead blasted finish isn't as "grippy" as those with more pronounced grooves - so if you have a bit of oil/soap (or possibly even if your hands are just wet) you might not have a good grip on the razor while you do your routine (or will have difficulty adjusting the cutting angle it on the fly if you need to) - which negatively affects the whole wet shaving experience.
