Another vote for trying literally any other type of safety razor than a Futur. They are too aggressive imo, and especially for a beginner.

He looks like a goblin now, but 30 years ago (when he was voted sexiest man alive) he wasn't a bad looking guy.

I think a vintage Gillette Tech (~$20), Merkur 34 ($50), Maggard Razors
V3 head (~$25), or Razorock Game Changer .68 ($55) are all very good
starter options. Investing in good soap and a brush is also essential
because good lather helps to minimize irritation. For what it's worth, I put together a starter kit for my brother in law with a vintage Gillette Tech, and he loves it. Still uses it every single day.
