This Merkur razor was dubbed “Progress” for its inception of an adjustable blade into a classic design. With a twist-handle that calibrates several settings of blade angles, the Progress was first in its class to make available an unmitigated control of closeness. This razor is secure in the hand, and feels wonderful against the beard.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 My every day razor, 2.5.2010
Reviewer: Jeff Due (Cordova, NE)

Having a very tough, fast growing beard, I had it with the modern crop of disposable head razors. My grandfathers old DE razor had broken years ago, and I was tired of spending more and more money on disposables. I needed a new DE badly! After trying the Progress, I found my every day razor. Setting 2-3 is usually as aggressive as I need, higher settings are good if I let it grow for a couple of days. This is a very high quality unit, and I HIGHLY recommend it for the first time DE user. You won't regret it.

4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 A fine razor but not my favorite Merkur, 6.15.2009
Reviewer: Bruce Weber (Boca Raton, FL)

I am a DE razor collector and own more than 75 razors. Merkur is clearly the gold standard. I have a Progress, 37C Slant, 34C HD and a Barber Pole. Each one of them has very distinct advantages depending how you feel in the morning. The Progress is very efficient up to the a setting of 4 as I have a tough beard. When I push it to 4.5 to 5 it is a somewhat harsher shave. I generally use Feather or Kai Japanese blades but I find the Progress works best for me using the Turkish Derby blades. I don't like the Merkur blades at all as I find them to be on the dull side comparing them to almost any other premium blade. If you have a normal beard I believe you would be better off with the 34C or the Barber Pole. The Slant is scary on a good day but I shave with it at least once a week. These three are also excellent for a tougher beard as well. Bottom line you can't go wrong with the Progress and you might even like it enough to make it your everyday shave. I sugggest you start at the 2 setting and work your way up to your comfort level. It is certainly worth the price as it is really a beautifully constructed razor. Happy Shaving!
