Do you still use this? Nice video. Hope you can help me out with this question. Been using a 34c now for 3 years with a Parker blade. It suits my sensitive skin fair hair, very fine hair. Now I have just stripped my 2nd head thread in that time. $20 plus postage per head most stainless steel razors are medium aggressive to aggressive. The feather ASD2 is $280 where I live, But there is one on buy swap and trade razors for $90 6 months old. No packaging. Now in my Arsenal of razor blades I have no aggressive blades. Do I need to buy them to get the best shave with this thing? Like a feather etc? The Only other razor that falls in my category is the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 Safety Razor. And that's only $180 brand new. Hmm

Go Rockwell s6.never look back.

For me rapira platinum lux,and ladas yellow stainless blades

Alex why didn’t you continue your wonderful videos?

Just got my Futur and a 1967 Gillette Slim. Both are more aggressive than my Rockwell 6c. Did 1/2 with the Gillette set on 1 and opened up to 6 of 9 on first pass. Started Futur closed up all the way. Was still more aggressive than my others. Got BBS with both with 3 pass shave. Slight burning with Futur and less with Gillette. Effect was like my 6c. Gillette and Future adjustable on the fly but slower adjust with 6c. All fine shave. Thanks for the video. Good job.

Can you tell me the name of audio feed back?

Merkur Futur and feather blades. A lethal combination.

I considered a Futur for a while but my R41 has the aggressive needs covered, my Fatip Piccolo OC covers the mid-range and my Rockwell 6S has the milder end covered. So, no need for anything else although I might get the R41GS later.

I would think it would be much easier to completely clean all of the Rockwell 6C because it’s a three-piece razor and you could get to every area of the razor.

I have had the Futur as a daily shaver for the last 5 years. It is very aggressive and it will cut you if not careful, especially under the nose and nostrils. That being said, its very efficient when properly used. Blades like feather, personna rapira or Nacet are better on no more than 3 on the dial. Wilkinson, voskhod can be cranked up to 5. Your mileage may vary.

From my understanding, the Persona Platinums are formerly Israeli Reds. These are tied for first place with my Gillette Yellows. I bought 400 of these recently; I didn't want to be caught off guard as I was with the Israeli Reds. I have tried a lot of blades, and these two are the top of the food chain for me!

Man, I'm surprised that you don't know how to shave :D

Astra SP and Gillette Platinum

I’m new to this and only tried a few…. I really like the Perma Sharp so far

Enjoying your videos for over a year now, very curious if you have experienced rusty water coming out of your R89 twist ? When I flick my down into the sink without the top cap on (have to do this fairly hard downwards swinging), brown rust comes out of the thread hole, I belive the mechanism inside is corroding even though I've dried it properly in the 1.5 years I've owned it. Trying to see if anyone else has this problem ! Cheers thanks

I prefer espresso ☕️ but good for you 💪👌

Please god. I'm sorry

my Grandfather's Gillette Bulldog Razor in a green canvas pouch with mirror He had from WW1 heavy well made it glides on the face smooth shaver adjust the head a little adjust the shave angle of the shave is a clone $40 CHEAP Muhle r89 safety razor WITH Muhle r89 HEAD ONLY WITH IKON HANDLE better shave wheelchair Larry

I cannot believe that the Merkur 34C is only 3 inches long! That’s ridiculous! How are you supposed to hold the damn thing?

try derby black

Thanks for doing this video. I am finally going to switch to DE razors and I was torn between which of these models to try. It's not a huge amount of money, but it isn't nothing either. I think after everything I've read and your test, I'm going to go with the R89 Twist.

my 29mm Simpson T3 Trafalgar is the best brush on the market today it's like buying a $200 badger hair brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, fast drying time, well not fall apart like a badger hair can, cheap to buy, i have owned it for 5 years with know problems wheelchair Larry

Please come back!

i bought this razor thanks to your video on it! cant wait to try it on! also i subscribed hope you start making videos again sometime, you really have funny humor

brother you are so funny!! i wish i had a wife that made me coffee aswell

You’re crazy to use the 6 on futur 😂 I find 3 or 4 to be my sweet spot.

Nice video! I am about to buy the Edwing Jagger DE 86 or 89 as my first safety razor. I also thought to get the omega 10066, a cheaper option brush, but this of yours looks so good I’m gonna do a little more research.

It’s shocking to me the progress comes with no instructions about aligning the top cap & base plate. Had I not already known it’s easy to install the top cap wrong and have it not work properly. The Parker variant as we know is a evolution/copy & comes with details about alignment of the top cap & bottom. I was hoping the finish on the progress would be better. The button Of the base plate where the logo sits is very rough. I know you don’t see that while shaving but they could do better on the finish. When you compare to an Edwin jagger de89 for half the cost the finish is much nicer. Critiques aside the progress is still a nice razor & had a classic nostalgic look. I enjoy the short handle. The knob makes it easy to hold for ATG or rest on the pinky.

hello sir can u do a razor head comparison between merkur futur vs rockwell 6c? I want to know if the rockwell 6c have bigger or smaller razor head than merkur futur

Hallo Alex, ich kann an diesem Rasierhobel nichts gefährliches finden , ich benutze den R41 bevorzugt , der Merkur Future empfinde ich am eher zahm. Trotzdem vielen Dank für dein Video. Gruß Jens 😊💈💈🪒

So far my number one razor blade is Feather; Derby on second place and Dorco on third. I really want to try Astra blades and Voskhod.

Feather and Bic Chrome Platinum for me but what can I say I like them sharp.

I like your video….thanks.

Thanks for the video

Nice review. I give derby blades away. Don’t care for them either.

Where can l get one

Hi Alex - new subscriber. I have both razors and agree: the Mühle R89 Twist gives a smother and closer shave than the Merkur 34c. Also appreciate your correct pronunciation of the names of the German razors - most wet shave influencers don't get the pronunciation right.

Muhle R89 is too mild for me

👍👏👏👏👏

Nice video. Please what is your estimated blade gap on this razor?

Hello Alex, I have a question, do Muhle R89 and Edwin Jagger DE89 have the same head? thank you

i feel ( for me) Muhle a little more aggressive vs Merkur, maybe it is a consequence of longer leverage (lever arm of head) and heavy weight. Both good for sensitive skin. I For me the best to use with Edisson and Feather blades.

Долбоеб у тебя бороды нет

You are the kind of guy who drinks Japanese whiskey and, probably, British sake.

👍

My same top 3 . I rank them 1 gillette silver blue . 2 voskhod 3 feather

5:38 in my experience, the first shave was one of the best but afterwards it became dull. I sticked to Astra and Treet Platinum

5:17 which razor is that , can you tell please

Hi Alex ! Thank you for the different parker razor reviews, I've enjoyed watching from Canada! I do not own a butterfly style razor but am looking at buying one to add to my 2 safety razors I own already. I am leaning towards the 87r for the retro look, but I am stuck between it and the 92/96 with the black longer handle. Do you have a preference ? Was the shave quality comparable for all 3 ? Thank man ! Have a good day! Adam

Great review! I ordered one, and one side was more aggressive than the other, so Merkur is sending me another; thanks again, and blessings to you and your family 🙏
