Futur uneven blade exposure?

Anyone experience this? It seems to be getting worse. One side shows a lot more blade than the other. I have to keep cranking it up making one side very aggressive so the other side can cut.

I was about to take pictures and as I turned it down to a 1, I ended up shaving off a chunk of thumb skin. I took a few pics but it doesn't show well (of the razor, not my thumb).

Maybe I need a new razor. I PIFd all of my razors to new shavers and I don't want to buy another Futur if this is a common problem.

It is not...just switch position of top cap....always adjust the futur by placing it head down on a towel and then turn the handle to adjust....slicing the thumb is a common problem!!!!

Thanks but it doesn't seem to make a difference when I turn the cap 180 degrees.

Possibly you can return it...or exchange it...also try a different blade brand and make sure it is centered before you press the cap down....all being said try and exchange it for a Progress...a much better,safer and easier razor to use...(also adjustable)...good luck.

You need to turn the head, not the top cap.

unscrewed the handle , reversed spring top to bottom and turned the blade table 180 and put it back in the receiver, screwed handle back on

I think there is a you tube video of this.

Give that a try, it worked for me.

Here is one.

Thanks I'll try that.

Did not know it was so easy to take the Futur apart.

Thanks, looks aligned now and shaved great. What is the reason? Was it put on backwards from the manufacturer?

Not sure, but someone here gave me the tip when I received mine and it was uneven.
I really doubt it is by design, you would think it should fit either way.

Glad it worked for you.

Should have got one of these:

I've got two of them and no problems to speak of.

I have been tempted to get one of those but being in the uk shipping will probably set me back a fortune.
My Futur lasted about 4 months before the plating started flaking off
