Thank you for the Video. Because of you i started shaving with a DE. Never touched a Cartridge razor. Wish you all the best from Germany.
Same!
Hello Geo. I'm Carlos from Spain. He has surprised me to see you shave with the LEA cream, since it is manufactured in my country.
In fact, there are only four brands in Spain that produce
products for classic shaving. These are: LEA, LA TOJA,
NIVEA AND WILKINSON, but they only manufacture it in tube, stick and
in a foam pot
Thanks for your videos and a hug from Spain friend.

Hello Dapper. I'm glad you liked the La Toja cream. In Spain it has been very famous for many years and is liked for its aroma. Greetings from Spain.
LEA is good quality right?
@@dappershaves Thank you a lot, you too, I used Nivea and Gillette shaving creams, but I'll be buying LEA products. On the last shave a cartridge razor irritated me so much I just threw it away, now I just need money to buy a double edge razor XD
Hola, Carlos.
In Spain there is a company called Epsilon which makes shaving products. I don’t know anything about them but I have seen them advertising on the web pages of Gifts & Care España. I have used a sample of their after shave and it is very nice. Un saludo.
I now own 5 razors. The futur has a special place in my heart. Many people are afraid of it or dont know how to handle it. I dare say it is my favorite. You can turn the aggressiveness down but when you need a sharp powerful mower it cant be beat. And it is so beautiful to look at.
I used to go beyond 3 with the Futur. But now I only go between 0.5 and 1 and get bbs every time. That's how thorough the Futur is.
Hey Geo, you inspired me to get into DE razor shaving a couple weeks ago and after a rough first attempt am loving the process and close shaves!
Thanks from Australia!
With the right angle, the Merkur Futur can be provide the smoothest shave.
I agree on a feather blade getting better after a few shaves, I get the best shaves on the 3-4 shave on them. Problem for me is the first use so close and smooth but too harsh on my skin for regular use.
@@dappershaves I have not heard of those. I’m still wWorking my way through a large sample pack now. So far for me Parker blades and shark super chromes are my 1 and 2. But that could change next blade. If I see those blades when I’m getting supplies I will give them a look.
@@travertinepico751 Your skin gets used to aggressive blades over time. Just like it gets used to a daily shave.
I absolutely love the Merkür Fütür . I personally use the infamous Gillette NACET 🐊 Stainless Steel DE Blade . Makes for an incredibly smooth 3 pass BBS Shave. Take good care Geo... From *On The Road* here in Wyoming . 👍🏻
Good stuff William!
Nacet, a very smooth blade, one of my fav
Hi Geo, another great shave. Love the Merkur Futur. Its one of the razors I have on my list to get. Cant beat the menthol felling on the face (great stuff) Take care Geo.
Wow! using the Futur with reckless abandon, pretty gutsy with an aggressive razor. Nice shave Geo🪒🪒 Lea cream works great, on the list. Yep, unless "corked" a Feather can be a bit rough until the second or third use, they do get better. Great video and results, thanks bro. Enjoy your week.
Sounds like Soprano is giving me a shaving lesson lol.Seriously thanks for your help bro!
Love it! I'm ready for Sopranos Part 3!
Thanks for the video.
Nice to see Lea getting some love 👍 Cheers from Spain.
I like it!
@@geofatboy I just bought a tube for €1.50, that’s great value.
I have merkur 34 c. It's a sturdy strong razor. Good make. Must try this one!!
WorkHorse!
Lea is superb.
Have you thought about reviewing the RazoRock Super Slant? I'm a slant guy and I've been looking for a quality review and you're my guy!!!
Nice video 😊 Lea is good stuff 🎉
Geo your hair may change color or get thinner but you will never lose your baby face as you give your face so much attention
Awww Thanks!
very nice shave and a excellent razor always thought it was a bit bulky but using it i have no problems getting under the nose . and fully with you on that one 3 is a great place to start with a lighter growth still very effective and will take care of most whiskers 👍
This is a superb razor, I’d recommend the Gillette King for people starting out with this type of razor. I have a collection of DE safety razors after dabbling with cutthroat razors, you will always get a better shave with a double edge than a cutthroat unless someone else does it for you. I’d never go back to the multi blade razors they are really bad on skin.
Hey Geo, I know this is an old video, but I just got my Futur in the mail, and this definitely will have a learning curve, but feels really nice. Thanks!!!
Many Many thanks for all the knowledge my Man!!! One of the few where I watch and everything I thought to ask AND plenty that I didn't is ALL covered!!! Pull Up & Shut Up! Watch & Learn!!!
Geo you saved me from turning to shrek!!! Thank you
Awesome razor and blade combination, and great shave.
Hello Geo, I’ve been wanting to try LEA, glad you’re stocking it
Great video, thanks! I need to work on my technique...got lazy with a multi-blade safety razor. Looking at buying my first DE razor.
That's great I wonder how much will all this cost with South African currency?
How much is your starter packs for sensitive skin?
Next month I'm going to be getting me one of those shaving bowls. Also have you tried the Lea hard soap? I have some of that and I have a review of it on my channel. It's pretty good stuff man I was thinking about using that for my next shave. Blessings from Texas!

@@dappershaves hard soaps I face lather soft soaps I've done both ways and I prefer them in a bowl. I don't like working the lather on my face it takes too long. Hard soaps on the other hand you really don't have much of an option.
I can't decide between the Futur and the Progress 510.
Have any of you ever gotten a bad batch of shaving soap? It happened for me today with one of my favorite brands. The smell was a mix of burnt plastic and motor oil, very unpleasant to say the least. I am in the process of returning it to the reseller but was just wondering how common is this? I would like to think I just got very unlucky.
@@dappershaves Had it delivered today and the smell was like that when I opened it. Maybe it was not stored properly at the resellers warehouse?
Hello Geo. How do you compare this Lea shaving creme with Proraso green ?
Many thanks for this video
Another outstanding Shave Geo! How do you compare the Lea to proraso green?
Hi Geo, LEA shaving creams and foams seem to be nice, thanks for this video. Could I ask you a favor please? I can't figure out which information is true about washing and moisturizing/protecting face, could you do a video about this? Because I recently watched a video that said facial massages help cleanse face much more than washing face, which in fact, stresses and wears face and only cleanses the upper part of it, which made a lot of sense.
Hey Geo, I was looking to purchase the large shave nation alum block and I had a question, is made made from a solid block of alum or is it compressed alum? Thank you!.
This has all been very inspiring...so much out there. I'm new to the game and prepping my first order at Shave Nation. Trying to narrow down my wish list to a couple razors to jump into for me and my boys.
Henson Medium
Merkur 23C
Rockwell 6S
Muhle R89
Merkur Futur now makes the list as well...the adjustable feature seems very nice as I'm a shaver between 1 and 4 days, so my growth with vary.
Any advice? If I was going to spend overall up to $250 to get a great into into the world of Safety Razors, what would you do?
Get the Rockwell. U have some adjustments. I got the R89 for my 1st razor & don’t like it. Very mild but not like you think. Mild in that it takes tons of passes which cause irritation before you are smooth shaven. The knurling sucks and handle is hollow. Not impressed at all. I’m selling or giving mine away. The Rockwell will have superior knurling & options to cover any beard growth.
@@boostedbliss07MK5 There seems to be something to be said for looking at the price point along with manufacturing location. Good old Made in the USA for the Rockwell 6S sure makes you feel like it should be a quality piece given the Rockwell reputation.
@@simpsonmbm Rockwell is a Canadian company. Only the 6s model is made in USA. 6c is made in China and so is the T2. If you have a problem their customer service seems very lacking. They make u pay for return shipping but will send u a replacement part. That said guys have more good luck then bad with them & the 6c is well regarded as a very smooth all around razor.
Would you recommend the futur to someone brand new to safety razors?
I noticed the matte finish sometimes feels not as slick when shaving. Like there is some resistance. Also, had the same issue at the top of the lip, just under the nose.
bit.ly/MerkurFuturSN Maybe you want to go with the polished version.
Hi, I sent you an email, but I haven't received a response from you about my goods from your store. It's been a month and 10 days and they still haven't been sent.
Try calling. Maybe the email went to his spam folder. He ships super fast so has to be some weird issue with your order or payment method. He does respond to comments but he has a ton of viewers probably not the easiest way to reach them.
Hey Geo, I have Lea soap in a silver tube that says Classic. It smells like a cross between Proraso Sandlewood and Tabac soap. Very slick, and a joy to use. A good addition to your stock if available. Would send a photo but am too technically challenged challenged at my age. Will do by separate email if you like.
Cheers, and by the way, it also says sensitive skin on the tube.
Larry
Hello Geo,
Just curious, if you had a less than perfect shave, no nicks or cuts but really bad razor burn, what aftershave balm would be your go to?…asking for a friend
Is the razor good for sensitive skin?
Do you ship to the UK? I’ve listened to a few of your videos (haven’t watched them because I’m blind) and am thinking about getting a double edged safety razor. I’m sick of using cartridge razors. They don’t do a great job and are so expensive in the long run.
Sound is a little off in this video #sound problems
How does the Futur compare to the Parker Variant? I found the Variant was way too aggressive past setting 3 for me.
You can't beat that German Engineering...
Rockwell T2 or Mercure FUTURE what is better?
Personal preference. Try them both and see what YOU like... The snap head on the Futur is pretty slick! bit.ly/MerkurFuturRazorSN
@@geofatboy Thanks Mr Geo.. I by yesterday Futur and today I shaved, perfect , perfectly 100% BBS .
90 Euro I pay. I am surprised with deeply shaving.kombination 3. 2 .1.
Thanks for your answer.Regards from Serbia

Данас сам се први пута обријао са Футур ,ом, заиста ББС 100%јиш га испитујемо али изгледа да вриједи свакога евра.
