Review: Excellent daily shave - This is just a lovely razor. It has the virtue of adjustability via the plastic knob of an unknown ancient colour. Using this numbers 1 to 5 can be selected. This corresponds with 1 to 5 mild to aggressive. I normally start at 3, with the grain. Then 2, across the grain, and 1, against the grain. This gives me a baby smooth shave every other day. It's relatively easy to set the dial before a pass but difficult to see the numbers. I can't say the razor is easy to hold. It is heavy, and feels very substantial but it is smooth metal, it gets slippery and is easy to drop. The other drawback is the plastic knob. Apparently a lot of people don't like it and there is even a brass or stainless steel replacement ( an Opgress) which can be had for an unlikely sum of money. Personally I think the knob is great. Nobody can say what colour it is. Objectively it's yellow but it could be old ivory or an off white or cream. Whatever, I really love it. The Progress came out in 1955, it's 66 years old. I think this knob makes it look like something out of the 30's. It's exquisite, delicately curved on the bevels and embellished with the Merkur crest on the bottom. Lovely, and this razor is a lovely old thing and a piece of precision German engineering at the same time. I highly recommend it. Review: Well made solid razor - This razor is a retro look design, it does look like it dates from the 1940s. It's quite heavy in the hand too but well balanced in use. The adjustment knob goes twice around its scale (1-6 then 1-6 again plus a bit more) to provide a huge range of adjustment. I've never needed to turn it beyond 5 (on the first turn) before it tears my face off. The handle is also quite thick and as this is the longer handled version it fits in my large hands well. Merkur do a shorter version also. Cleaning the razor is easy as the guard bars are channel section so they can be washed out from either end under the tap. ## Features - Type de manche: Chromé - Couleur: Chromé - Pays: Allemagne ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0047Z7RNM | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 68,897 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 287 in Men's Razors | | Brand | MERKUR | | Brand Name | MERKUR | | Colour | Ivory | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 642 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04045284012574 | | Handle Material | Brass | | Handle material | Brass | | Item Dimensions | 13.3 x 5.6 x 2.5 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Manual Shaving Razor Type | Safety Razor | | Manufacturer | Merkur solingen | | Manufacturer Part Number | 510.001 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 051 | | Number of Blades | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of blades | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Adjustable | | Skin Type | Sensitive | | Special feature | Adjustable | | Style | Elegant | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Unit count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MERKUR - **Number of blades:** 1 - **Unit count:** 1 count - **Special feature:** Adjustable - **Number of items:** 1 ## Images ![Merkur Progress 510 Long Handle Safety Razor - No Blade Included - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517JFXzyjrL.jpg) ![Merkur Progress 510 Long Handle Safety Razor - No Blade Included - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51G+jsScmIL.jpg) ![Merkur Progress 510 Long Handle Safety Razor - No Blade Included - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617fwiLHTNL.jpg) ![Merkur Progress 510 Long Handle Safety Razor - No Blade Included - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617sONN0EiL.jpg) ![Merkur Progress 510 Long Handle Safety Razor - No Blade Included - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eEWm7lC1L.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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent daily shave *by J***S on 19 July 2021* This is just a lovely razor.

However, the handle was just a bit to short for my hands although it would be OK as a travel razor. Just bought the long handled version and consider it to be the best razor I have ever used. Handle length is perfect, perfect balance and weight. It can also be customised to suite your beard and skin type by changing the angle of the blade via the knurled knob on the bottom. I currently use 2.5 with a Supermax blade but I will start to try other settings with different brands of blade. All in all a top notch razor that will be difficult to improve. ## 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.tn/products/48389268-merkur-progress-510-long-handle-safety-razor-no-blade-included](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48389268-merkur-progress-510-long-handle-safety-razor-no-blade-included) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
