Directions Prepare skin, apply shaving cream or gel, shave with the grain, rinse razor after each stroke, clean and dry razor after use Review: WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!! - WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! I loooooooooove this razor indedinitely I have honestly and 100% NEVER shaved with a DE (double edged) razor before and was wondering and intrigued and curious as to what all the fuss about DE shaving was about I spent a good month looking at DE razors online and all the different types, designs, shapes, sizes, functions etc.... and the design of this one caught my eye and I loved how it looked and looked at reviews online from at least 6 different sited and was immediately impressed by the look, weight, sound and functions of this DE razor and saw at LEAST 3 rip-off versions of this genuine Merkur Futur razor on here and elsewhere and thought to myself "Why are people buying these cheaper versions when they can get the original and best in terms of build and engineering quality" Fair enough I get that some people maybe can't afford this German branded razor BUT think about it this way - most cartridge blade shavers spend £20 give or take on blades every 8-10 weeks on average - that's £100 a year at LEAST on replacement cartridges You can get 100 blades (yes that's right - 100 blades) for a DE razor for £20 or less and you can get at least 5, maybe 6 shaves per blade before it needs changing (I've worked out I change my blade after 6 shaves) Assuming you shave 3 times a week (like I do) and one blade lasts 2 weeks, that's 200 weeks (or 4 years) in which 100 blades would have been used and for £20, that's a ridiculous amount of saving AND you're easily getting a better, closer and smoother shave over cartridge blade razors So whilst the savings on the blades are significant and obvious, spend £60 on the real genuine German built Merkur Futur and rest assured that it will be of excellent quality and not a cheap rip-off version which could rust and most importantly not fit the blades properly, which in turn will be very costly and damaging to your face Bottom line - I wish I switched to DE shaving 20 years ago but better late than never The other products in my pictures are the Proraso red shaving cream which just smells out of this world, a Proraso after shave balm cream which was sent to me as a trial and that feels and smells even more amazing, my Razorock plissoft brush which is EXTREMELY soft and king of shaves shaving oil which I apply before brushing my face with shaving cream When I shave now, I use a hand towel and use boiling hot water from the kettle and wet the middle of the towel, wring out excess water and apply to my face gently (NOT whilst it's still boiling hot straightaway) and hold it on my face until it cools down (this is my home version of a Turkish hot towel shave) I then apply the shave oil all over (including neck and sides of my neck where the hair grows) wash my hands (the oil is quite slippery obviously), lather up my cream in a bowl for a minute or so, apply to my face and do my first pass on number 1 of the Merkur Futur razor with the grain, apply more lather to my face, second pass against the grain on number 3 and apply lather for a 3rd and final time on number 5 and finish off any areas I may have missed Don't forget to rinse the razor under warm/hot water inbetween shaving End result - baby bum smooth face and an invigorating and fresh feeling I actually look forward to and enjoy shaving now whereas with a cartridge razor, I couldn't wait to finish I see shaving as an art now and love it so much that I could shave 24/7 !!!!!! Oh and by the way - I can actually HEAR the razor cutting the hair/stubble off as I glide the razor on my face - something I never heard with any cartridge razor and to hear it do it's job is a somewhat new but weird feeling (in a good way) and the feedback from the razor is just insanely wicked I would seriously suggest and strongly recommend buying this over the 3 rip-off versions because you're paying for quality and build and it's no secret that Germany are known for their exquisite attention to detail and engineering When I finish my shave, I take off the "lid" of the razor, wipe the sides of the blade with a kitchen towel and replace ready for my next shave The whole process from boiling the kettle to finishing cleaning my razor takes 20 minutes at the most and it's something I love doing With a cartridge razor, it took 5 minutes to have a shave and I couldn't wait for those 5 minutes to pass You may need to click on the pictures I've left to see their full resolutions as I believe they don't always look good as thumbnails I'm happy to answer any questions and help in any way possible Review: Never thought I'd be this pleased with a razor! - In common with a lot of people I went to a safety razor in exasperation with the cost of cartridges, plus the unpleasantness of the experience using them. I don't understand how it took me so long! First of all there is quality of the manufacture, lovely shiny chrome and a weighty feel that allows the razor to do the work. No pressure needed just let it glide and do the job. The adjustability drew me to this razor, 1 is mild, 6 aggressive but because it is thread driven the razor allows any setting in between which is a great idea. Paired with Astra blades and good soap the shaving experience is actually a pleasure, first time in 50+ years of this man's life that he has said that. One pass with the grain and one across and I am done for a normal day. Now and again I do a third. Short strokes and taking a little time I've not cut myself at all. The shiny handle does not slip in my hand, blade loading and cleaning is a breeze and I really cannot fault this razor at all. It feels great in the hand the weight is somehow reassuring and imo lends to the quality of the shave. One point to note is the head feels large the first few times and I did wonder how this would work initially but I've found it no issue at all. In terms of settings I am happy on 1 (mild) or 1.5ish to two if I want totally smooth I don't feel the need to go higher but the option is there for those that need it. Utterly brilliant piece of kit 23/3/18 Update after living with this razor a while. I'm still using this razor at the same settings and it performs excellently. I've had it opened out to 3.5 a couple of time and for my skin/beard that's about as far as I'd go. You need to take a deal more care but as this is pretty aggressive and feels akin to my R41! For me that's not an everyday shave. My normal shave remains a two but a couple of days a week I'll go three. The Astra blades are working brilliantly and shaving every day of the week (never been able to do that with a cartridge) I really enjoy the morning experience of it. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 11 years.

It's the most recent purchase in my collection of 4 DE razors and probably the last. I love the weight and solid feel. Blades are easy to load. The main benefit for me is the ability to adjust the settings. Settings 2 or 3 are fine for my medium coarse beard. The higher settings are good for making a clean line under the sideburns. Other reviewers have commented on the size of the razor head and difficulty shaving under the nose. There is a technique for this which is relevant to all DE razors. Suggest looking for YouTube videos. I have the polished chrome version. The handle is very smooth and grip can be difficult when wet but not a major problem. The only other issue is that the adjustment on my razor sometimes sticks and needs a very strong grip to twist the adjustment mechanism. Not wise with a blade in situ. The shave is no better than my cheapest DE razor which cost around £20 but worth it for the quality. In my experience over several years of DE razor shaving, the blade is the biggest influence on the comfort and quality of the shave. Gillette 7 o'clock Is my favourite. ## Frequently Bought Together - MERKUR FUTUR 701 Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor - Bright Chrome | Adjustable Razor With Dial | Made in Germany | Plastic-Free | Snap-On Cap Design | Straight Bar - Merkur Razor Double Edge Razor Blades, MK-911, 10 Count (Pack of 1) - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48388847-merkur-dovo-safety-razor-futur-chrome-100-g-1-stück](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48388847-merkur-dovo-safety-razor-futur-chrome-100-g-1-stück) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
