I have been using a Gillette Aristocrat for 6 months+ before getting a Futur, and I must say its a fine razor but was a bit aggressive set at 3 with a Gillette Yellow. The next shave I am going to dial it down to 2 and see where it gets me. I like its heft and how it feels in my hand, I just need to...

I put a fresh Yellow in my Futur today set on 3 and I got some nicks, I had to dial it down a bit, but the blade is smooth and sharp just like in my Aristocrat. If the iridiums were easier to get or cheeper I would try them.

I went ahead and bought a gold Futur, it looks like it will be a good choice for me, if not I will just sell it and get the longer handle progress.

Is a Progress right for me?

I have been wet shaving for a while now and gotten a pretty good routine down. I own only one razor, a 50's Aristocrat and use typically only one soap, D.R. Harris Marlborough. I have tried alot of soaps and creams and I have found that my Aristocrat loaded with yellow Gillettes works best for me. H...
