The Merkur 500C Progress stands as one of the most recognisable adjustable razors in traditional wet shaving. First introduced in the 1950s, this model lets you fine-tune the aggressiveness of your shave with a simple twist of the handle. Whether you're managing several days of growth or just need a gentle daily touch-up, you can dial in your preferred blade gap on the fly.

With its compact handle and precision-engineered head, the Progress 500 offers excellent control and balance - particularly useful for shaping facial hair or tackling hard-to-reach areas. The razor is crafted in Germany using a brass handle and die-cast zinc head, finished in a polished chrome coating for long-lasting durability.
