The Merkur 510 Progress Antique Brass Adjustable Safety Razor is the long-handled version of Merkur's classic adjustable razor, a design with roots in the 1950s. It combines a bright chrome body with a contrasting antique brass metal adjustment knob, engraved with the Merkur name.

Turning the numbered knob changes the blade gap from approximately 0.6 to 1.6 mm. Lower settings provide a gentler feel for daily shaving or more sensitive areas, while higher settings increase efficiency for denser or longer growth. The scale makes it easy to note a preferred setting or use different settings for separate passes.

The extended 94 mm handle offers more reach than the standard Merkur 500 Progress while retaining the familiar two-piece head and straight-cut closed comb. At 112 g, the razor feels substantial without needing added pressure, and the contoured handle remains secure during adjustment and shaving.

Key Features

  • Adjustable blade gap: Approximately 0.6-1.6 mm for personalised shaving control.
  • Long 510 handle: Added reach and a fuller grip than the shorter 500 Progress.
  • Antique brass metal knob: Contrasts with the bright chrome body and carries Merkur engraving.
  • Closed-comb head: Straight-cut geometry with good lather clearance.
  • Two-piece construction: Secure blade positioning and straightforward changes.
  • Made in Germany: Designed and manufactured by Merkur in Solingen.

How to Adjust and Care For the Razor

With the head assembled and the blade seated evenly, turn the adjustment knob to the chosen numbered setting. Begin at a lower setting and increase gradually until the balance of comfort and efficiency suits your blade and beard. Rinse the head after each use, dry the razor and occasionally apply a small amount of mineral oil to the adjustment thread.
