The Merkur 500 Progress Adjustable Safety Razor is a timeless classic that blends vintage design with precision German engineering. First introduced in the 1950s, this iconic double-edge safety razor features a distinctive antique-style brass adjustment knob engraved with the Merkur logo and a beautifully profiled handle that delivers both elegance and secure grip. Designed for total shaving control, the Merkur Progress lets you adjust the blade gap and shaving angle with its built-in numbered dial. With a simple twist of the knob, you can fine-tune the blade exposure from 0.6mm (mild) to 1.6mm (aggressive)—making it easy to switch between gentle daily shaves and efficient passes for thicker or longer stubble.
