Merkur Futur ◊ Feather Blade ◊ Proraso White Shaving Soap

[@pommieMJ]

Kudos to you Paul for using the Merkur Futur on setting 6 with a Feather. I've got a feather in my Merkur Futur right now but only on setting 3. Maybe if I'm feeling brave tomorrow morning I'll crank it up to setting 6/ EEEKK! Huge thanks to Mrs. H for the flowers. A few roses in there - Simply gorgeous. I've had some good shaves this week, thank you for asking, and a nice straight shave as my Sunday shave. And now, I'm about to sit down with Mrs. S to our Sunday roast - slow cooked lamb (6 hours), roast potatoes, beetroot and parsnips (all done in duck fat) with some broccoli and carrots. Bloody marvelous. See you on Wednesday

[@PaulHFilms]

That sounds a great Sunday Roast Mike....just preparing mine now..lol...have a great Sunday....Paul.

[@JCB1982]

Crazy agressive setting 6!! Jejeje i used qshave setting 3 and os enough for me

[@akhilesh2601]

Fantastic flowers once again 💐 See you on Wednesday. Take care ☺

[@jamalzilkade9759]

Gorgeous flowers Mrs H. Futur setting 6 and Feather blade Paul just tamed it.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks very much.

[@daringlisson9353]

Beautiful flowers today, or yesterday for you. Autumn colors indeed

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Darin.

[@williamdavies6958]

Great video Paul, thanks for letting us see your set up, Proraso white is one of my favourite soups. Lovely flowers Mrs H All the best

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks William.

[@alexdeleon7135]

What a magnificent bouquet! You are indeed a fortunate son to have fresh blooms in your home. This shave was a daring, aggressive affair, and I salute your courage. I can't wait for the bite of winter.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you.

[@flashboredom9326]

great shave paul. if you dont mind can i hijacked you video to ask your fans is it true that polsilver iridium blades are now discontinued? please tell me its not so.:-(

[@PaulHFilms]

I have heard this too...shame if they are.

[@mirakel64]

what is your favarity aftershave in our country is not everything available

[@mitchellhalpern3772]

Great shave video and another great floral arrangement by Mrs. H!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Mitchell.

[@royrobinson7570]

Paul, glad you mentioned not going against the growth if you suffer from ingrowing hairs. This was my downfall early in shaving and now do with and across the growth as i shave daily. I once heard a person explain the shaving against the growth was like a pinecone one direction running your hand down the pinecone will be like beard growth direction but going the other way tends to cause problems as this is not naturally the way hair grows and can cause the ingrowing hairs. I settle for 3 passes but everytime i do against the growth i get painful ingrowers so i personally steer clear of this. Great flowers as always from Mrs H

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Roy, not pleasant to have ingrowing hairs....I am lucky not to have them, but thought it was worth a mention. all the best...Paul.

[@shaner3431]

nicely done paul you sure know your way around the merkur futur. most gents i've spoken to about it said not to bother with it. it's wildly aggressive. a tip for the proraso white soap, i decided one day to simply bloom croaps as well. never creams obviously but blooming a croap makes it all easier. even though they're easier to load. why not make it even easier? so i started that and got amazing results. this proraso white really benefits from a minute or two of hot water. something to try i suppose. i hope that makes it even better for you.

[@PaulHFilms]

It is aggressive, but not impossible to enjoy, and thank you, a really good tip about the soap....all the best...Paul.

[@peterharrison8756]

Hi Paul I bought one of these about a year ago, bathroom was like a bloodbath, Ps I take a Blood thinner, tried again 3 months later, not much better. Watched this video tried it using your glide technique and I can honestly say that with 3 passes on number 4 has become the best shave i've ever had. I used a Voshkod blade but i'm pretty sure I could use a Feather now. Its now my number one. Ps It was going on Ebay, but not now. Great advice and the flowers were out of this world, give Mrs H a pat on the back.

[@PaulHFilms]

That's good to know Peter, it's nice when the shave works isn't it....all the best...Paul.

[@peterharrison8756]

Thanks Paul

[@ncondo1122]

How does the Proraso soap perform for you without using the pre-shave, Paul? I just purchased the Proraso Green soap, and I’m a bit letdown by the level of residual slickness.

[@PaulHFilms]

It performs well enough for me, slickness is good I find, but that could be down to the water maybe, if you ever want to test a soap to see if it's your water, try using bottled water, just to see ,could make a difference. Thanks .

[@ncondo1122]

PaulHFilms Good idea. Thank you.

[@davidcoleman2463]

Good shave Paul . I think I need to try the white line . I got a bad shave yesterday and my skin is killing me . I am new to this still . Thanks

[@PaulHFilms]

Time will help David.....it does get better......also use a very light touch with the razor...that helps.....thanks....Paul.

[@jarrydpitt6311]

Excellent shave Paul your techniques have helped me greatly thank you very much💈💈💈💈.

That is great to know Jarryd, thank you.

[@mirakel64]

I have the same razor what is the best a sharp blade of a blade nr.1. I have on my heve spots on my kin that is not smooth and bleed every time i use nr 1 on the razor with Lord blades please coud you help me with some tips i love your channel i live in the Netherlands so Englisch is not my native language i hope you understand it. greetings Mart

[@Stoeff1987]

Hey Paul! Really cool to see you use my preferred setup in this video! Thank you for keeping this channel running, always a pleasure to watch your videos, especially on my Monday lunch break!

[@Stoeff1987]

Of course I am only talking about the Proraso stuff as I would not dare using a Futur on setting 6 with a feather! ^^

[@Stoeff1987]

I just finished watching the video. In my opinion, you could have used some more water in each pass. I know you tend to build very dry lather but with the Proraso being not very slick compared to other soaps, a good amount of water guarantees for a good glide - at least for me. I had to adjust as well but no I can shave against the growth on my neck and my mustache area as well without cutting myself. With the Futur it can be different of course, I prefer the EJ DE89.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you very much , glad you enjoyed it....Paul.

[@kerrykerr1210]

Such great advice Paul! Let your skin tell you, and take care of it. Lovely flower arrangement!! Here is California we have 2 seasons, summer and rainy. Not much rain so it summer all year round. I hope you do a couple fall walks on your other channel. Beautiful shsve! Thanks Kerry 😊

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Kerry, have a great week....all the best...Paul.

Nice setup Paul! It's like a Paulhfilms 2.0, glad you're enjoying yourself. It's the return of the walking dead today, tv show if you ask. I'm gonna be up on that late night hype, I had a good shave myself, used the Gillette Black Beauty 1971 R2 on setting no.6, EJ's Sandalwood shaving soap and Semogue Boar Brush 1800, splashed on some Pinaud Clubman classic and I was ready to take on the day. If you ask I did watch the whole video. Enjoy your Sunday dinner Paul, take care and all the best. Aaron

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Aaron, shave sounds great too by the way....all the best and thanks for watching as always....Paul.

[@KingofWisdom]

So happy that the temperatures are finally dropping around here. It was 19C here this morning. I think I've become addicted to the Feather blades. They perform wonderfully in my Fatip Grande. I started making my lathers slightly wetter for improved slickness and found that this made the Feather blades extremely smooth, even on the first use. I still hate that they cost twice as much as some blades (like Astra SPs) but I do feel that they're some of the best DE blades on the market. I enjoy shaving at night because I have the cool morning breeze creeping in from the window and no one is in a rush to go anywhere. So I can take my time and clean up however slowly I want to lol.

[@PaulHFilms]

Good blades aren't they, 19c eh...hope your having a great week and all the best....Paul.

[@scousewillo62]

Used my satin Futur myself this morning, Have to use it on 2 to 1.5 atm. Just recovering from surgery on my left hand, so shaving 1 handed, including my head. I used a Gillette silver blue in the Futur and a Wilkinson sword Gillette in a 37c on my head. For me a setting of 4 would be a maximum wtg and 2 atg. Best wishes to yourself and Mrs H, wonderful flowers as usual.

[@PaulHFilms]

Hope your surgery heals quickly Roy, all the best....Paul.

[@s.j.l.8736]

I really enjoyed the video Paul and I would also like to say a big congrats on getting over 7,000 subs now. Well done mate.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Steven, glad you enjoyed the video, amazing amount of subs isn't it..I am very lucky.

[@Flametopology]

Hi Paul...after being inspired by your videos, and having always used Gillette disposables, I've decided to embark on an old-school double-edge shaving regimen. Based on one of your xlnt videos (not this one) I ordered a Merkur Futur, which happily arrived yesterday. I also ordered a tub of T. of Old Bond St. Eton Col. shave cream. Next on my list is a decent shave brush, along with some pre and after shave items. However, now that I'm admittedly overwhelmed by the endless choices of pre-shave and aftershave balms and liquids, would you be so kind as to make some suggestions? As an amateur about to embark on the art of DE shaving, and my first ever DE shave, I'm completely wide open to your expert guidance and suggestions. Thanks so very much! -Mark

[@PaulHFilms]

Hi Mark, and welcome to the world of Wet Shaving, one I would highly suggest is the Nivea Originals aftershave balm, always works nicely for me, and has a scent which (for me) goes well with most aftershaves etc......another very good aftershave balm/ cream is Arko Classic.....quite thick, but once rubbed in , is amazing......all the best Mark, and hope you have many great shaves ahead......Paul.

[@Flametopology]

Hi Paul, thanks for the advice! Will surely check out the Nivea. In fact, I was reading some really good things about the Nivea Originals balm. Proraso is another one that looks pretty good too and I'm thinking I probably can't go wrong using. Well my friend...I'm a few hours from having my first ever DE wetshave tonight with the new Merkur Futur I just got. Hopefully I won't slash myself up too badly. Wish me luck! ;-) Cheers buddy!

[@timomick912]

Hello Paul and yet another outstanding video. I have not been a pre-shave product proponent until I tried Phoenix Artisan Accoutrement's Prickly Pear Pre-Shave Jelly....fantastic product. If you haven't tried it, I would recommend it highly.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Tim, yes I have a sample of that jelly...great isn't it...Paul.

[@MichaelThomascga1996]

Have a great week Paul!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks you too Michael.

[@rahan1985]

Proraso white balm has to be one of my fav balm during winter, Red and white pre shave are fantastic along with red and white soap. My New favourite from proraso, the sandlewood aftershave lotion

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Rahan....great soaps and products aren't they.

[@stevielive]

Very nice Paul. Haven't used the Merkur Futur in a few weeks but still find setting 3 with a non aggressive blade works best for my skin. I have found out my Muhle R89 Grande with a sharper blade works best. Also a shave cream rather than a soap seems most comfortable. Still having great shaves and big fun!! Cheers to you & Mrs H!!!!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Stephen, yes it's nice to find out what works best for your shave isn't it....all the best....Paul.

[@willcartershaves]

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Will, much appreciated.

[@gusbloke5934]

Futur on 6! Back to the old days Paul. Love my futur but only use it on 6 very rarely as I find it almost too aggressive. Have a lovely Sunday dinner and see you on Wednesday. All the best Gus

[@markanthonysmith413]

Great video Paul, the proraso white is very good although I have only got the cream in a tube, what a beast of a razor, I'm afraid my skin will only tolerate setting 1 or 2, I have tried setting 4 which was too much, I must admit I haven't tried No 4 for the first 2 passes and reduce it to No 2 for the last pass which might work better. - All the best Mark.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Mark, yes good idea reducing the setting after the first couple of passes....all the best mate....Paul.

[@fp80-d2o]

Proraso! The sandalwood version is great Paul

[@PaulHFilms]

I agree, fantastic scent and soap...thanks Frank.

[@stephenspiers134]

Good video Paul as always. I've got the white proraso shaving cream in a tube and it's very good creamy lather alongside the pre shave. I don't think I'm confident enough to try my futur on setting 6... building up to that. All the best

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Stephen, great soap isn't it....yes no rush to try the setting 6.....it comes on it's own...all the best....Paul.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great shave, congrats on the 7000 Subs! Well done, sir! :)

[@donfraysier5079]

I shaved along with you this time, which I haven't done before. I used my Gem single edge razor, with a Gem Personna blade (3rd use, I think), De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris soap, Marvy boar brush, witch hazel, and regular Clubman aftershave.

[@PaulHFilms]

Sounds a great shave Don, thanks for the company. :-)

[@timkennedy1192]

Good shave and lovely flowers. I used Proraso white this morning myself. Agree that the scent is not the greatest (love the sandalwood scent, but Proraso red is not the most protective for me), but it is an excellent croap. Paul, I have the solution to your tendency to over-shave your upper lip: grow a mustache! :)

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Tim, yes not the best scent, but the soap/croap works well during the shave, grow a moustache...good idea...lol..

[@leandrofsouza]

Great vídeo Paul. I Hope my neck skin gets "harder" with the time passing by. I still have some struggle avoiding irritation. By now I still with one pass only in the neck area. See you on Wednesday

[@PaulHFilms]

It should come with time Leandro....all the best and thank you....Paul.

[@justinbailey5455]

Hi Paul... Enjoyed the video as always! I like the scent of Proraso White, but I noticed if it sits a while in the tub, it develops a weird/not so pleasant smell... not sure what it is that causes this... but fortunately it fades away once exposed to air/the lid is off or when lathered up. I dont know if I've ever had that aggressive of a shave... I do use my Muhle R41 but most times I prefer an Astra blade... I get great shaves (BBS and irritation free) with it, but the Futur on 6 appears more aggressive than that. Hope you have a great week and certainly look forward to Wednesday's video!! Thanks

[@PaulHFilms]

Must be what happened to mine too I think...as it was ok once you start lathering up...have a great Sunday and start to next week....Paul.

[@technicallybrilliant2760]

nice one Paul , i see you got the space 1999 razor out , and the feathers ..... that blade gaps as wide as a very obliging lady of the night . - dont ask mate . Another query Paul , do you use that razor on that setting to shave ya crackling if your doing pork on sunday :^) ..... well it has been about a week since i last commented mate .

[@PaulHFilms]

Always a laugh with your comments....lol....yes would make a good pork shaver this actually....cheers Mark.

[@JamesJohnson-pz8pu]

I love your videos! I am stuck in a quarantine and one of the things that is keeping me going is wet shaving. Good job I have loads of soaps, creams and different razor blades to try. Keep up with the good work 👍 wouldn’t have got into this hobby without your videos 😀

[@PaulHFilms]

Thank you James, and take care of yourself, keep shaving ! :-)

[@T-R.e.x]

With my feather, almost always have irritations and nicks, not on the first, but definitely on the second pass and third pass. Be afraid of doing ATG with it, but they are good blades and never tug the stubble. Maybe trying pre shave cream or oil as you said, and try putting it in my Merkur 41c from which I get my most BBS shaves. Great lather with your Proraso White Paul. As ALWAYS! Keep going!

[@PaulHFilms]

Like you say a good blade, slice through anything don't they.....I choose a mild razor normally for the Feather, unless I am feeling lucky...lol.....all the best and thanks.....Paul.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Chris.

[@mariabutler3356]

I always thought I needed a mild razor for my sensitive skin but find myself needing to pass 5-6x with lots of irritation. Will try a more aggresive and efficient razor!

[@Vart1980]

Great job, Sir. I did not manage to do my shaving well with Futur and Feather combination (and Future was adjusted on 1-st level in my case, since I was afraid of aggressiveness of such combination)... But you did it just perfect. BRAVO. Regards from Russia.

[@ColtonWilson3000]

Proraso is a great brand. I used proraso green as my go to cream for about 10 years before I moved out on my own and was able to experiment with other stuff. Proraso white works really well, but the scent isn't the best. Not bad but not favourable. Still 10x better than wilkinson sword soap in the blue tub haha. Have a good week Paul, see you again soon.

[@bendycard]

Very good Paul, I don't think many would be brave enough to try a feather in a Futur on level 6, but I thought the chance of you not over shaving the top lip with that combination would be approximately naff all 😂 Stunning flowers as always from MrsH 😌👋💐 PS DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE CHICKEN IN 😌👍

[@icalexander]

Nice shave paul! I've highly though of getting a Futur or a Progress

[@borbetomagus]

You might want to ask Paul if the Futur is more aggressive than the Progress. I think I have read that the Futur on setting 1 is more aggressive than the Progress on setting 5+, but you need that assessment confirmed by those who have used both razors. I only have the Progress (as I didn't want such a wide razor like the Futur) and find it very comfortable, even at the most aggressive settings. You also might want to be on the lookout for the Barbaros-Rocnel stainless steel adjustable razor, which appears to borrow the adjust-ability features of the Merkur Progress. Unfortunately, it probably won't be as affordable as the Merkur razors. Also have a look at the Rockwell 6S adjustable stainless steel razor -- affordable, but not as easily adjusted. www.barbarosrazors.com/ rockwellrazors.com

[@icalexander]

oh I know all of those. I already own 2 gillette adjustables I just like having different stuff and figure a Merkur adjustable would be the next thing to get. I've thought abought a 6S too. I tend to run my adjustables around setting 6 or so

[@borbetomagus]

Rockwell is also coming out with another adjustable -- The Model T -- rockwellrazors.com/products/rockwell-model-t This is (currently) at the same price as the 6S (but may increase once released), but is more easily adjusted. I'd be interested in this, but I already have enough razors!

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Duncan

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Considering it's a Futur on setting 6 with a Feather, the few above the upper lip are excused. I would need quite a few dabs on he neck with the old styptic pencil followed by some Clubman Talc and Osage Rub! I'm not sure how you shave the sides of your jaw so easily, but with the 10 - 15 buffs I need on each side there during my touch up pass (my beard is quite coarse), this combination might have set a record for nicks and cuts! Recent reviews mention that the new formulation of the Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal White Aftershave balm also contains witch hazel, so this would be the 2nd straight shave you loaded up on witch hazel! It definitely can't hurt, but I usually avoid the Thayers when I know the lotion or balm contains witch hazel. I'll even skip the balm if the aftershave lotion (like Lucky Tiger) contains witch hazel. Some on the forums add witch hazel to their aftershave lotion for the all in one treatment. As usual, interesting video and the flowers from Mrs. H are a beautiful assortment.

[@highonimmi]

[@PaulHFilms]

Lol....Thanks Sean....all the best mate.

[@santaclaus179]

Paul I have the red and green pot of proraso , I see that the scent of the white one is not great, I was disapointed about the scent of the red pot , who should be sandalwood, but really it does not smell nice, the crabtree and evelyn sandalwood is much richer. I expected that the white pot had a almond scent such as cella, greetings robert

[@PaulHFilms]

The white Proraso is a sensitive version, so hardly any scent to it. I like the Crabtree & Evelyn shaving cream version too. All the best Robert :)

[@starlodear2987]

After six years of using the Futur from 3 to 6 I went down to 0.5 to find out I get the same excellent shave! No wonder, even at 0.5 the blade gap is bigger than on other razors.

[@soupdragonuk]

Yikes Paul, A Futur on six with a Feather. You should have had the emergency services on standby in case you lopped off your head. One of the best blades I have found for the Futur - or any aggressive razor - is the BiC Chrome Platinum blade. Smooth, very sharp. It works a dream in aggressive razors, less so in milder ones.

[@PaulHFilms]

Feeling brave David...lol....thanks mate.

[@leandrofsouza]

David Quinton I use these BIC blades for more than one year. They are really good... BUT...with no pressure

[@soupdragonuk]

Leandro Souza Yeah, put any pressure and you'll feel the pain instantly. I love this blade in my ATT H1. Man what a shave.

[@markmongo44]

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Mark, and good luck with your new Boker...hope it shaves well :)

[@WolfRanger2008]

No "Middle Ground" from the Mildest to the Most Aggressive and still you lived to tell the tale! ;-) But I wonder if you have ever considered(as an experiment) switching from whatever aggressive razor you might have started with to a milder razor just for the moustache area? I've seen that done in at least one "Instructional Tutorial" and mentioned by wet shavers in others. It would possibly eliminate the over shave weepers or perhaps train your muscle memory to develop a lighter touch in that location when using an aggressive razor...Just wondering...

[@PaulHFilms]

Good idea that...I know some people change razors for each pass too, and if it works....fantastic....plus you get to use several razors in one shave...great isn't it...all the best...Paul.

You can use Bio Oil for your scar😉.

[@technicallybrilliant2760]

does it work ? i have a terrible one on my cheek , really prevents me from doing videos - i have to be careful when shaving that area ..

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Stefan, yes heard about that oil...Paul.

[@andreistefan1988]

Technically Brilliant yes,for me it's a wonderful product.The color of the scar will be smoothed..and the color of your scar will be the same with the color of your skin.😉

Just bought the white Proraso tub, I hope it is slick and protective. I think I have the new formulation. My tub is kinda different from the outside. www.westcoastshaving.com/resize/shared/images/product/proraso-shaving-cream-soap-green-tea-oat-150g-tub/sc-pro-010.jpg?bw=1000&bh=1000

Proraso has a good slickness I find, hope you enjoy using it :-)

[@MrET114]

That is very dry. You need to add more water.

when I first started de shaving I would watch your videos and back in the day you used to use the future all the time as one of your favorites. Anyways I bought one when I first started and that's what I learned on and I hated it so much I even told my wife I can't believe Paul uses this thing it's horrible as I was shaving my fave off. Anyways long story short it is by far my best de shaver I own next to my slim twist. I absolutely love the future.

[@PaulHFilms]

The Futur seems to be a shock at first, but after time you sort of (as you have) get used to it's unique-ness...and make it part of the family then...lol....glad you love it now...all the best Jason.

Been having a rough week my fiancé has left on a Disney cruise which is very exciting but that means I'm home alone and not able to talk with her. You don't realize how lonely and sad life is with out your significant other until you can see or talk with them. Her parents surprised her with this trip and its going to be her last trip with her family before we get married. So to say the least it's been an emotional week being alone yet being happy and excited for her being able to share these memories one last time as a Stephens. Hope everyone's week is well and I'm looking forward to Wednesday's shave as well to keep me entertained and company.

[@PaulHFilms]

Time seems to drag when you miss someone, hope she has a great trip...all the best....Paul.

[@pommieMJ]

All the best to you and your fiancée. I've been married 20 years and know all about the ups and downs and it sounds like you two share a special bond. I wish you well and I hope you have some great shaves this week ;)

[@mikeike429]

PaulHFilms thank you I know she's having a great time with her family.

[@mikeike429]

Mike Sumner thank you and hope you have some great shaves as well! I'll let everyone hear know how the trip goes.

Bloody Mary 🙈

[@Rjl41]

Proraso is a big s....t! I threw it into the garbage bin!! Horrible sent, no protection, no pleasure at all! I do prefer Phoenix accoutrements CaD soaps, or Mickey lee ones!

[@gusbloke5934]

Futur on 6! Back to the old days Paul. Love my futur but only use it on 6 very rarely as I find it almost too aggressive. Have a lovely Sunday dinner and see you on Wednesday. All the best Gus.

[@PaulHFilms]

Thanks Gus....all the best.
