Description

Originally introduced in the 1950s, the Merkur Progress 500 remains a favourite among traditional wet shavers thanks to its adjustable design and timeless construction. With a simple twist of the handle, the blade gap can be set anywhere between 0.6mm and 1.6mm, allowing users to fine-tune the aggressiveness of each shave.

This version features a solid brass handle paired with a die-cast zinc razor head, all chrome-plated for a bright, durable finish. Its compact form factor offers excellent control in tight spots, while the adjustment scale makes it easy to switch between mild and close shaves on the fly. Whether you're trimming heavy growth or just maintaining a clean finish, the Merkur Progress adapts to your needs.
