Collection: Adjustable Safety Razors
Adjustable safety razors let you fine tune the blade feel to suit your beard growth, skin comfort and shaving routine. Lower settings can feel more forgiving for daily shaving or sensitive areas, while higher settings give extra efficiency on heavier stubble when used with good technique and a suitable double edge blade.
The best adjustable safety razor depends on how much control you want. Compare adjustable double edge razors such as the Merkur Progress 510, Merkur Progress 500, Merkur FUTUR, Parker Variant and Feather Adjustable DER-A. Selected convertible or related adjustable-style razors may also appear here where they fit the wider adjustable shaving setup.
Pair an adjustable razor with quality double edge razor blades and a protective shaving cream or soap. If you prefer a fixed head razor, browse our main double edge safety razors collection.

About Adjustable Safety Razors
Why Choose an Adjustable Razor?
An adjustable safety razor changes the shave feel by altering blade exposure or blade gap. Lower settings usually feel smoother and more forgiving, while higher settings give more blade feel and efficiency on dense or longer stubble.
Merkur, Parker and Feather
Merkur adjustable razors are classic choices for traditional DE shaving, while Parker offers adjustable designs including Variant models. Feather options can suit customers who want a lighter modern adjustable razor. Compare them with fixed double edge safety razors if you want fewer moving parts.
Blade Choice Still Matters
Changing the setting is only one part of the setup. A sharper blade can make a low setting more efficient, while a smoother blade can make higher settings more comfortable. Keep a selection of double edge razor blades available while you learn the razor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are adjustable safety razors good for beginners?
They can be, provided you start on a low setting and use light pressure. If you want the simplest first razor, a mild fixed-head model from double edge safety razors may be easier.
What setting should I use on an adjustable razor?
Start low, shave carefully, then increase one step at a time only if you need more efficiency. Sensitive areas often suit a lower setting even when heavier beard areas need more blade feel.
Do adjustable DE razors use normal blades?
Most adjustable DE razors use standard double edge blades. Injector razors and specialist systems use different blades, so check compatibility before buying.
Let customers speak for us
from 392 reviewsI'm usually used to using a heavy shaver for my daily shave. I thought about trying the Henson AL 13 v2 as I quite fancied a change. I was very surprised to find this shaver is very accurate to use almost surgical like. I quite fancy now perhaps trying to buy a Henson ti22 which is the titanium version. I most certainly recommend this company and this shaver highly. I will be using male grooming supplies again in future.
I was debating whether to get the medium or aggressive razor. As I can't be a***ed to shave more than every five days I went for the aggressive. Fantastic, just cuts through the stubble with consummate ease. Very light and ergonomic too. Easy to manoeuvre and the design means that you get the correct shaving angle naturally.
The only thing better is the service from MGS! I had a few queries which were answered almost immediately, great! I ordered the razor on Friday afternoon and it was delivered by nine on Saturday morning. Brilliant.
Both the razor and service are so good in fact that I will probably order the medium Henson to go with its big brother.
Thanks guys!
A gift for a friend who absolutely adores it
This brush (T3) is amazing and fantastic value for money. Well made and made to last. Robust when lathering up with no need to pre soak before use. Highly recommended.
Having just got back into wet shaving, I thought I would try the T3 Trafalgar & Henson AL13++. I've just used both of them and they are fantastic. The T3 is great for lathering and no need to pre soak. The Henson is just something else. If you are new to wet shaving, go for this, I didn’t have any nicks but a really close shave (3 passes). Don’t be put off as it is very lightweight, the blade will do the work and you will learn how much pressure you need to apply after a couple of uses. Using these going forward will be an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended, both of them.
Taylor of Old Bond Street is a wonderful shaving cream and I highly recommend to all.
Simpson Bay Rum shaving cream has got a very delicate but elegant scent, not too overpowering but very pleasant throughout the shave. The cream lathers easily and it's very slick, the razor will glide effortlessly. Post shave is very good, my skin was left soft and elastic even before applying the post shave balm. Definitely recommended!
After several years my old razor stopped aligning the blade correctly. This razor is a much better design, easier to clean, and a very smooth shave.
I have the Muhle R89 standard, however I wanted I wanted to improve on it for two main reasons, a longer handle and having a two rather than three piece head, whilst retaining the R89 head. The R89 'twist' was just what I needed and it most definitely works for.
Highly recommended well done male grooming for rapid dispatch
salter shaving creams never dissapoint, performance is great and aftershave feel fantastic.
the vetiver fragrance is a very dark earthy fragrance if you like vetiver this is for you
cannot fault this cream only wish they did matching splashes or balms
I’ve used these with the Henson AL13 and they seem to work very well! I suspect I may never have to buy any more razor blades for the rest of my life…!
I've used a few regular safety razors before, but I've never had a shave this smooth and clean. I finally tried this bad boy with an open comb, and it has been a total game-changer! Yes, you need a good technique, but the results are absolutely remarkable.
It also has excellent moisturizing effects.
