Overview
Not a cartridge razor with a fixed setting, the Futur is a double edge safety razor whose blade gap changes with a twist of the handle. A snap-on cap lifts off to load a standard blade, and the brass body carries a matte chrome finish.
One razor covers both a gentle shave for sensitive skin and a closer pass for coarse hair, because the gap is adjustable. The listing gives no numbered range for that adjustment and does not say whether blades come in the box.
Who it's for
Wet shavers with sensitive skin or coarse stubble can dial the gap to suit each day. Those who want a light razor or prefer cartridges should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Blade gap adjusts by twisting the handle
- Takes any standard double edge blade
- Snap-on cap speeds blade changes
- Brass handle with no plastic parts
- Adjustment range and box contents not listed
- Heavier than aluminum or plastic razors
Performance notes
Shave closeness is governed by the blade gap: a narrow setting exposes less edge for sensitive skin, a wider one cuts coarse growth closer. The weight of the brass handle lets the razor glide with light pressure. Blade choice also changes the feel, since any standard double edge blade fits.
