If you want amazing control over your shaving, the Merkur Futur Gold is a brilliant choice. This safety razor has six variable blade settings. You can change these simply by twisting the head to match the corresponding blade setting number. Each setting offers a different blade angle and thus allows you to achieve a different level of closeness from your shave. 

The razor is heavyweight and the indent in the handle makes it easy to grip. It also looks fantastic and is surely a statement piece. This is due to the 24k gold plating that covers the handle and head. The Merkur Futur Gold is comparable with most safety razor replacement blades.
