Merkur - Progress Long Handle Adjustable Safety Razor

Merkur 510 Progress Long Handle is a 2 piece adjustable safety razor finished in chrome with a long 4" deeply fluted handle that delivers a wonderfully reassuring and comfortable grip. The ivory-colored plastic knob of the Merkur 510 Progress is not just an optical gimmick - it allows you to adjust the blade gap and thus also the angle of the razor blade.  It has been introduced in 1955 and has been a legend since. It has settings of between 1 and 5 with half settings. The higher the number you dial up to, the closer the shave you will get. Some men will start off on number 1 or 2 and dial-up to finish off with a higher setting. The long handle not only increases ergonomics of these safety razors, but also helps you to reach remote parts of the body more easily. So there is nothing left to do with an individual and varied shave. Progress makes it possible to use any type of blades and relatively more cost effective ones since you can immediately adjust the aggressiveness of the blade
