Merkur 500 Progress Bright Chrome Adjustable Safety Razor

The Merkur 500 Progress Bright Chrome Adjustable Safety Razor is a classic design dating back to the 1950s, combining period styling with precise shaving adjustability. The profiled handle and bright chrome-plated adjustment knob, engraved with the Merkur name, reflect the clean, functional design language of the era.

The adjustable shaving head allows you to control both the blade gap and angle of attack, making it easy to tailor the shave to your preferences. Adjustment is made via the numbered scale at the base of the handle, offering smooth and reliable control from a mild, comfortable shave to a closer, more efficient result.

With a blade gap adjustable from 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm, the Progress adapts easily to different beard lengths and skin sensitivities. Lower settings are ideal for everyday shaving, while higher settings handle coarser growth with confidence. The two-piece construction ensures secure blade alignment while keeping blade changes straightforward.

Finished entirely in bright chrome and designed and made in Germany, the Merkur 500 Progress remains one of the most versatile adjustable double edge safety razors for traditional wet shaving.
