Result: 4.5/5.0 Wasn't going to take chances with this one and used an alum block. Putting together the Feather ACD-N with the Merkur Futur would either kill me or plane my face to the smoothness of glass. I had the Futur dialed to 4. Not too aggressive. After I used the ACD-N though it was kind of anti-climatic. The Futur didn't have much to cut. I thought I heard a tiny little voice whining in frustration. "Where's the whiskers!" So, by using light glides, I was able to dispense with any stubborn stubble post haste. Cleanup was a breeze and learning how to do no pressure with the ACD-N has helped with the no pressure that the Futur requires.
