This is a nice compact adjustable that's easy to use - a classic Merkur design that starts at very mild, goes up to the level of Muhle Rocca and Edwin Jagger 2ONE6 with a larger blade gap and then beyond. The Futur is, it is true, more aggressive but also much larger and heavier, with a much fatter head. I prefer the "sports car" driving experience of the Progress, which now looks nice and smart with its chrome knob option and can be opened up beyond 5+ if you really need it. Great service and lightening fast delivery with excellent packaging from MGS
It's much milder than the future.
I got a level 5 on the first pass, a level 3 on the second pass, and a level 1 on the third pass, with great results.
An excellent product, adjustable setting is easy to use. The balance and grip aid a very close shave.
Merkur progress gives a nice shave, im still experimenting with blades, but not had a bad shave, Kai blades seem to suit me best at the moment but ill keep experimenting.
Great razor. Fast delivery.
