Merkur Progress Adjustable Safety Razor with Extended Handle Review

By and large, a machine with adjustable aggressiveness - you can clearly choose what you need for yourself, and not buy 5 pieces of machines and experiment)) (but this is IMHO- ha, long forgotten)) Rather, I found a problem in the blades, bought 6 different companies, and pancake in each pack some kind of blade but not sharp.

Edit update; Some reviewers have commented on the noise this razor makes when shaving, so on my last shave with this new razor I also noticed that there is actually a noise as the razor cuts the mustache. It's not only sound that goes through the face and bones to the ear, but also outside of the face. This means once the mustache is shaved down to the smoothness of the face, the sound stops. What an ingenious design! The high quality of this two-part MERKUR Progress Long Handle Adjustable…

I was very disappointed when I received this razor. There was some blistering on the chrome handle and the plastic handle (sorry but utterly absurd) had a thin crack as if overtightened during assembly. The handle is very light, with no knurling, and the head is relatively bulky and heavy. At first it seemed poorly made, poorly designed and unbalanced. I bought another one that was better. Despite the handle's sleek look, the ribs running the length of it help keep it secure (along with the end

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…

Great razor! It took a few shaves to get used to the weight and long handle, and the angle at which you hold the razor is also slightly different. I also had to figure out what settings worked best for me. I think a lot of the negative comments come from people who either misadjusted the top plate when inserting the blade; or just not giving him enough time to figure out the razor and its settings. Like I said, it took me a few shaves (and the trimmings that come with them) to get to what…

German adjustable razor. Worth the price? Yes. do i like mine Yes. Would I buy it again? Hmm, probably not. The Progress shaves well, but the Merkur Futur shaves better and the Futur can shave much more aggressively. I also don't like the crappy plastic progress button, which just looks cheap and doesn't go well with a razor of this caliber. There is an aftermarket in the razor industry solely to replace these plastic handles with metal handles that MUST come with the Progress razor. The…

I really like this shaver. I've been using my merkur 34c for about 2 years and wanted to upgrade to something more aggressive. Some of the reviews were a little intimidating but if you have experience with a safety razor you should be fine. I started on setting 3 and it seems very close to a 34c shave but a bit more aggressive. I got it down to 4 and it's almost like a barber's shave that comes with a grit that used to come close meant going against the current and dealing with the irritation…
