Its bright-chrome end knob, Merkur engraving and contoured handle give it a classic appearance, while the adjustable head allows it to cover a wide range of shaving preferences in one two-piece razor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scale at the base of the handle changes the \u003cstrong\u003eblade gap from approximately 0.6 to 1.6 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Use a more open setting where there is longer or denser growth, then reduce it for a gentler daily shave or a finishing pass. The long, shaped handle also gives useful reach for difficult areas and for body shaving, while the straight-cut head keeps the familiar double-edge razor technique intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 112 g with a \u003cstrong\u003e94 mm handle\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 510 Progress has a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel without becoming unwieldy. It is a particularly versatile Merkur for a shaver who wants to learn one dependable adjustable platform rather than own several fixed-gap razors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-piece adjustable double-edge safety razor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong contoured handle for additional reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade gap adjustable from approximately 0.6 to 1.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright-chrome finish with engraved adjustment knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cut head for traditional wet shaving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRazor type:\u003c\/strong\u003e two-piece adjustable safety razor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e straight cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade-gap adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 0.6 to 1.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e bright chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 x 41 x 25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRazor weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e folding box, 132 x 52 x 27 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the Progress with other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/merkur-double-edge-safety-razors\"\u003eMerkur safety razors\u003c\/a\u003e, then select compatible \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/premium-double-edge-razor-blades\"\u003edouble edge razor blades\u003c\/a\u003e to refine the setting that works best for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merkur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57199306146057,"sku":"510101","price":73.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3136\/8457\/files\/510101_top_x.jpg?v=1784485336","url":"https:\/\/www.malegroomingsupplies.com\/products\/merkur-510-progress-bright-chrome-safety-razor","provider":"Male Grooming Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
