I got this razor for about 3 years now. The construction is perfect the adjustable seetings are good and the balance is real nice. I always use this razor on the most open seeting due to the fact that I use straight razors too. I like to feel the blade cutting on the face. The recomendation I could add is to use the razor with feather blades as I used it will be better. Real good purchase feel free to add this razor to your rotation. |

This is my first DE razor and I'm very happy I followed the advice
of other reviewers and bought this one. The tin and packaging is solid. I
find the VISION adjustment method easy. It seems like I need to use
different adjustment settings depending on the brand of blade that I use
(feather=lower setting than gillette 5 o'clock or derby extra). The razor
has a good weight to it and feels good in my hand. The razor disassembles
easily when a diluted vinegar cleaning is in order to get the soap/shaving
cream residue off. Blade changes are easy as well. I don't care for the
included murker blades, but that could just be a personal preference. I'd
gladly recommend this to any shaver.

 The closest shave, the weirdest Settings, 5.6.2011

The Vision surprised me with it solid heft.
Its Pros are a very close shave and the sides of the blade are surrounded by the closed mechanism. It oozs quality and once properly adjusted it will serve me well. Now that brings me to the
Cons which are the screwy adjustment system. Using the letters VISION without indents or anything but a branded trademark which doesn't align with either end of the scale, you have to experiment. I suggest you start on the low side if you were brought up on American dbl. edge adjustables like the Schick adjustable with its infinitely more sensible indexed 1-9 settings. A 5 on a Shick is what a 2-3 is on the Vision. That merits a 4. Happy but the Vision just misses the perfect sxcore by it's indexing and higher maintenance.

Must have the Battlestar Galactica razor, 10.18.2010

I've been wet shaving for a while. My favorite razor was a Merkur Progress and the modified version, the Mergress. I was set with DE razors until I saw Admiral Adama using the Merkur Vision. I just had to have one. I've used it a couple of times so I can't speak to longevity. I can say it shaves better than the modified Progress. I'm quite happy with it.

had heard that this one tended to be "aggressive" but have found the range of adjustment to start quite mild but adjusts to way more blade exposure than I would ever need. still working on dialing it in just right but it is a very nice unit. my only complaint is the size-able distance from the end of the blade to the razor's end making getting close under the nose difficult. otherwise, I'm happy :)

Excellent Choice, 5.8.2010

- Nice case, excellent blades included
- After using this product I will never use any of that "Mach 10,000-million platinum blah blah blah blade" garbage. This cuts far nicer, very maneuverable, highly adjustable, great craftsmanship, good cleaning but a bit cumbersome for a through clean. |

I gave up on the 5 edge blade for this Merkur Vision. I was very surprised on how nice it works. I have as yet to cut myself, and find the learning curve to be short. I have referred it to friends who are thinking of making the switch away from the throw away junk stuff. In short, I am happy. |

A real Vision, 2.21.2010

The Vision is the ideal razor for anyone wanting the ultimate DE experience. This razor is fully adjustable and the construction is superb. It's heavy enough to do most of the work with no pressure. The blade loading mechanism is awesome to look at and quite simple to operate. If you are making an investment in DE shaving, why not get the best to begin with? It seems to be built to last a lifetime!
