With a simple twist of the bottom knob, you can fine-tune the blade gap from approximately 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm, letting you move from a mild, everyday shave to a much closer, more assertive pass as needed. This makes it well suited to both daily shaves on sensitive skin and tackling heavier growth when you dial the setting higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe razor uses a solid brass handle paired with a die-cast zinc head, all with galvanized, bright chrome-plated surfaces for durability, corrosion resistance, and a clean, reflective appearance. The profiled handle tube provides a secure, confident grip, while the two-piece construction allows straightforward blade loading and alignment using any standard double edge blade. Made in Solingen, Germany, the Progress family is widely regarded among wet shavers for its smooth performance and the ability to “lock in” your preferred setting and repeat it easily thanks to the clear adjustment scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-piece, closed comb, adjustable safety razor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass handle with antique brass metal adjustment knob; bright chrome-plated surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die-cast zinc (Zamak) razor head with chrome-plated, galvanized finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright chrome with antique brass knob and Merkur engraving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximate blade gap from 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm via numbered scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (razor):\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. \u003cspan\u003e4.2 cm x 2.6 cm x 10.5 cm.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use, load a double edge blade, close the head fully, then turn the knob to your chosen setting, starting on a lower number for a milder feel and increasing gradually until you reach your ideal balance of comfort and efficiency.
