MERKUR Stahlwaren GmbH & Co. Böcklinstr. 10, D – 42719 Solingen Review: Best single blade razor I have - This is awesome. Being able to adjust the closeness of the shave has allowed me to dial it in to where I don't suffer shaving rash as much anymore. One star off as I've found the dial loses its place when changing the blade unless you're very particular about the process. Review: Un rasoir très agréable à utiliser. Le coût d'achat sera amorti par l'usage de lames jetables, bien moins chères que les rasoirs multilames en plastique et bien plus écologiques. Le bouton à la base permet de régler la dureté de rasage. On peut changer en cours et faire une première passe douce et la suivante plus dure pour un rasage au plus près. J'ai aussi le modèle "Futur" de Merkur, plus contemporain de dessin, très bel objet, mais pas moyen de le régler en cours de rasage avec les mains pleines de savon. Ce modèle est d'une bonne prise en main, assez long, assez lourd. Un bel outil qui nécessite toutefois quelques essais prudents avant de trouver ses marques. Mais après le rasage devient un vrai plaisir tous les matins ! Je recommande cet achat avec un bon blaireau pour préparer la peau. La aussi, économique à la longue : plus de bombes de mousses onéreuses et peu écologiques. EDIT : après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, ce rasoir fait preuve d'une bonne efficacité et fiabilité. Si vous avez des contours de barbe à dessiner (moustaches, favoris...) qui nécessitent de la précision dans le rasage, ce rasoir n'est pas adapté car la tête est assez épaisse. On se tournera alors vers un modèle non réglable de type Edwin Jagger dont la tête est plus fine et maniable. Pour un rasage sans fioriture par contre, le Merkur est parfait. ## Features - Long Handled version (105mm) - Made in Solingen Germany - Adjustable blade settings - Merkur's flagship safety razor - Comes with free Merkur blade ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0047Z7RNM | | ASIN | B0047Z7RNM | | Age Range Description | वयसक | | Best Sellers Rank | #97,393 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #138 in Men's Safety Razors | | Brand Name | MERKUR | | Color | Silver | | Country of Publication | Germany | | Country of origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,209) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,209) | | Date First Available | 3 September 2012 | | Department | Men | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04045284012574 | | Handle Material | Brass | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 13.3 x 5.6 x 2.5 centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Item model number | 051 | | Manual Shaving Razor Type | Safety Razor | | Manufacturer | Derby International LLC, dba KANAR | | Manufacturer | Derby International LLC, dba KANAR | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Number of Blades | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Einstellbar | | Package Type Name | Box | | Product Dimensions | 13.34 x 5.59 x 2.54 cm; 120 g | | Skin Type | Sensitive | | Style | MK-510001 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MERKUR - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Number of blades:** 1 - **Special features:** Einstellbar - **Unit count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Razor Progress Long Handle Adjustable Safety Razor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517JFXzyjrL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: proper indexing of the adjustment numbers from blade to blade or after cleaning** A: If you use Feather blades - and there is some consensus that they are among the best - start at the very lowest setting and then crank it up 1/2 to 1 notch each pass. The higher the number, the more facial hair it will grab onto, and if the number is too high it will try to get too much at once and you'll get nicks. With other blades, the higher settings (3+) might be useful, but with Feathers I've never found it necessary. Naturally, everyone has different coarseness to their beard hair, and perhaps the shaving soap you use is different from mine, so maybe your best place to start is 1.5, or 2. But I'd start at the absolute minimum and only advance it once that setting has done as much as it will. You should also try to make as few passes as possible, since more will irritate the skin. **Q: How are blades inserted? Is it a butterfly action?** A: No. This is not a butterfly opening safety razor. This is a three-piece unit. The top blade head is two pieces that hold the blade in place, and when together, the two head pieces screw onto the base. **Q: Can this shaver be used to shave private parts, shave your head, etc? I've experience bad results with none adjustable types.** A: Not with this type of razor or a set of irons Brother. They do make razors suitable for the head which I've seen that are round in shape check them out. **Q: There are no instructions with razor. Besides rinsing in warm water, what else do you have to do to clean it and keep it functioning correctly?** A: Each week, I take it apart as if I were changing the blade, and remove the blade. Then I scrub it with some anti-bacterial hand soap using an old toothbrush and hot water. I rinse it clean, shake off the excess water, then reassemble. That process seems to work good for me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best single blade razor I have *by B***N on 8 July 2024* This is awesome.

Montajdan sonra bıçak tıraş makinesinin içine yerleştirildiğinde sorun açıkça görülmektedir. bıçağın sol tarafından taban plakasına doğru aşağıya doğru bir eğilim olduğunu açıkça görebilirsiniz. bunu iade etmenin bir yolu var mı? ## Frequently Bought Together - MERKUR Progress 510 Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor - Long Handle Adjustable Razor With Dial Made in Germany Plastic-Free Closed Comb Straight Bar - Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/264610916-razor-progress-long-handle-adjustable-safety-razor](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/264610916-razor-progress-long-handle-adjustable-safety-razor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
