You can clearly see what the safety razor was made for and where it falls short. It’s a little heavier than most mainstream razors and the grip is less than ideal. That’s an issue when you’re trying to hold the razor in all sorts of angles to get the perfect shave. an assembly of four unique products that'll look gorgeous on any grooming enthusiast's shelf. Compiling a stand, razor and brush, with each possessing a reflective chrome finish, the items are perfectly offset by a clouded glass bowl for a truly modern and high quality assembly. One handy tip that men shared is putting a towel on the head to protect your fingers from the exposed blade. Also, make sure your hands are dry before twisting the knob. The handle doesn’t have any knurling, and this makes it slippery. Currently, Merkur makes the Futur in three models: 700 (Matte Chrome), 701 (Polished Chrome), and 702 (Gold Plated). Despite the distinct finishes, all three models share the same design and functionality, catering to various personal tastes and bathroom aesthetics. Alternatives to Consider
