Choose the 500 for a compact handle and adjustable head. Prefer more handle length? Compare the Progress 510 Long Handle. For a fixed-gap compact razor, see the 34C HD; for a heavier adjustable model with a clip-on cap, compare the FUTUR Polished Chrome.

A classic adjustable, largely unchanged since the fifties and with good reason

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

For those who find the future too stimulating.

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.

Great close shave!

An excellent product, adjustable setting is easy to use. The balance and grip aid a very close shave.

Excellent razor

Excellent product.
I am still getting confident with it but I had a great feeling since the first use.
I am even trying different blades at different gaps measures to find the optimal match.
Not for beginners and long handle lovers
