Review on Merkur Progress Adjustable Safety Razor with Extended Handle by Valerie Harper

I finally have stubble on my Adam's apple. it's supposed to be sharper, but the Gillette Silver Blue blade, made in Russia, worked without notches. Check out something interesting about Gillette Silver Blue Blades. They have four corners numbered 1 through 4. So if you want to keep the same alignment or change the position of the blades between cleanings, you can. UPDATE 04/14/2014. Mark on the top two posts where the blade goes. The upper and lower parts can be connected in two ways.1. With aligned triangle and dash. OR2. With labels on opposite sides. This determines how the male bolt fits into the female grip. Conclusion: With two notches on the same side, the adaptation index shows from least aggressive to most aggressive as 1.2, 3.4.5. If the two notches are NOT on the same side, the fit index shows from least aggressive to most aggressive like 3. 4,5,1,2 It doesn't matter. When the screw and white cap are turned fully clockwise (head down or tightened) you have the least aggressive cut. Turning the screw counterclockwise a few turns from the low or tightened position (head up) will give you the most aggressive cut. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then align the two marks with the triangle and the line. Three is the middle setting. will still be the least aggressive. Only the INDEX numbers are shown since 3,4,5,1,25 is the MEDIUM setting. Second bottom line: ALIGN ONLY TWO STAMPS UP EVERY TIME and done. I have Progress, Slant, Open Comb and if I only had ONE RAZOR it would be an adjustable progression setting for the first few passes and five for the last pass.
