First introduced in the 1950s, the Merkur Progress is one of the most recognisable adjustable safety razors in traditional wet shaving. A simple twist of the handle dials the blade gap between mild and aggressive, letting you match the razor to your beard length and skin sensitivity without changing the razor itself. It's a practical, highly useful feature — one daily shave setting at the weekend, a slightly more open setting after several days of growth.

The compact 88mm length and brass core handle provide a solid, balanced feel in hand. The classic knurled grip ensures control with wet hands. A reliable, long-term investment for any wet shaver.
