I have been looking for some time for this Merkur 500 Progress upgrade but was unable to find an excellent quality, reasonably priced one, until now. Thanks to Male Grooming Supplies that is exactly what I received. In the opinion of this humble user, it is a marked improvement on the original plastic one. Very happy with my purchase and the service provided.
