Great machine, shaves clean and smooth, no tugging. The handle is very comfortable. Excellent store, all delivered safely. Thanks you!

Very happy with my purchase. Makes shaving more of a pleasure now, then a chore. Really gives an excellent shave. The reason I'm giving it a 4 star instead of 5 I find the handle a little short.
With regards to supplier shaving.ie excellent service.
Very Nice

It's Like a 34c HD head design that"s adjustable for mild to aggressive shaves, all in one shaving tool. I prefer this to the Futur cause it's easier to get under the nose, though this Futur is also very nice. Would be nice if Merkur could offer more handle styles with knurling for a little more grip. Happy with purchase.
Best razor

Really a great razor. So good not sure I will use my 34c and De 89 again. Well probably will but the progress will definitely be my go to razor from here on in. Just love it.

Not Perfect, Close.

This razor is my daily driver, I just don't like the plastic knob or that it's hard to see the adjustment and cap settings. Other than those minor details I like this razor very much.
Excellent Razor!

This Merkur has become my favorite safety razor as far as my daily shaves are concerned. I can adjust it to my personal needs in terms of aggressiveness and/or sensitivity respectively. Works best with Astra SP blades for me.

This razor is heavy. I am very satisfied, next razor will be Merkur slant.
My favourite every day razor

This is my default. If I'm not into trying out something new I use the Progress. It provides amazing close two pass shaves and the perfect baby face after the third path. And it works perfect with a broad selection of blades.
Perfect razor for a Starter

Amazing how easy the handling of this razor is! I started shaving with this razor after years with Gillette system razors, no cuts at all! And fast and convenient shipping - thanks!
Take the Leap!

Purchased the progress yesterday, arrived today. This is my first safety razor, and it must be said; I was absolutely shocked by the ease of use and the exceptional results procured. Despite my lack of experience using the progress was straight-forward and my initial reaction is that I will not be using a fusion or mach3 again. Indeed, the most astounding thing is how we even moved away from DE razors in the first instance.
Great razor

The best shave I have had in years.
A Smooth Shave

I recently received the Merkur for Chrimbo along with a brush. I am actually amazed at how good this safety razor is.

Progress and Diversity

The Merkur Progress is simply the ultimate razor. It can do everything other razors do but only better.
The perfect safety razor

Posted by Christopher on 21st Sep 2013

I started using the Progress 4 months ago and have not looked back since. Simple to adjust and easy to use.
A great replacement to my old Gillette

Posted by Harry on 21st Sep 2013

I bought this adjustable progress to replace a old worn out Gillette adjustable. It is working better than I had imagined and am very happy I found such a good alternative.
Best razor I have ever owned

Posted by Patrick on 21st Sep 2013

This Merkur is undoubtedly the best razor I have owned over the years. I wish I discovered these sooner as it gives a far better shave than a Mach 3 or Gillette Fusion and the blades for it are very cheap.
Fantastic starter razor

Posted by Barry on 21st Sep 2013

For anyone looking to begin shaving with a safety razor this Merkur is a fantastic razor to begin with, the razor has a decent amount of weight to it which makes it very suitable for starters. The loading/unlocking system for blades is straight forward with no fuss, its easy to clean and maintain as well. My only complaint about it is for some people (incl myself) the handle can feel like its too short so bare this in mind and because of this you might find the long handle version more suitable.
