Review on πŸͺ’ Adjustable Safety Razor, Merkur Progress MK-500001 by Diane Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great shaver! suitable for shaving and hair removal

Excellent razor! I've had a long handle and custom "merge" for years, but I wanted a short handle. The balance is good I'd say it's more about the head which I prefer and that's not an issue unless you compare the progression I've gotten after the 'shape change/tool work' you've got made it a few years ago so the alignment triangle is different and doesn't fit between + and 1 like my other two (before changing the razor). Mine is further between 5 and +. So I have to subtract 1 from my old settings to get the same thing. Corrections are possible, as in the Mantica video via turning the knob (carefully and if possible) to align the point with the desired "0". But if it's your only one, it doesn't matter. Just start with the lowest and move the numbers as needed. It's very aggressive on the highest settings and beyond. Took off a 6 month old beard without trimming it lol. Great shave. It's a zamak so take care of it
