Love me some TOBS. I'm so out of the loop I didn't know that half of my collection of them is now discontinued. Shaving shop is my favorite. Thank God I have a full tub and another partial that I now need to use sparingly, but lovingly

The Merkur is an amazing razor, definitely stood the test of time:)

Nice review! 👋😃👍

Hi geofatboy, this is my daily driver too. After all the good reviews on the Rockwell 6c, I bought one. It's good razor but I still prefer my Merkur Progress short. Just a closer, engaging and more comfortable, irritable free, enjoyable shave 3-2-1. Easy to adjust and a great size to take on holiday too. Works for me fine with a Gillette silver blue or an Astra green blade. It's really the only razor you ever need. 😊

This razor is one of my favs! Does an amazing job on my head especially loaded with a feather blade! My starting point however is at 5, not 1. When loading a new blade it always goes just past 1 and continues to stop at 5. Any advice to straighten this out? Love the videos Geo, the channel is always very informative.

Hi geo. Can facial toner ie thayers or t zone be used instead of an alum block

I love my Progress

One thing i will mention ref the new Progress razors which disapoints an old man with failing eyesight like myself - Merkur - sort out deeper and more legible numbers on the bottom.please! Even charge another Dollar to put some paint in them like originals from 50 years ago. And no, i dont want an Opgress/Mergress whatever with better numbers. I like my faux ivory plastic thanx very much. Great vid as per Geo.

I totally agree Michael. They also changed the arrow and line on the head and made it smaller, now it's much more difficult to tell if you've aligned them properly. Plus-the Opgress knob doesn't have any numbers on it.

Hi, in my progress, when turning the adjustment knob, it does not flow like oil, it turns as if it is rubbing against something, while shaving in the number 3 setting, while washing the machine and shaking off the excess water, a clicking sound comes from the head, is it normal? By the way the tool just got my first shave

When I tighten the handle down until I feel resistance it's on 3.5. do I consider this zero? Or do I back it off to zero and start there? Also at the higher settings does your cap head move some?

OG with the 4 squares or the 28 second one?

Survey: Do you go numerically lower or higher for the second pass?

I notice you nicked your chin a bit and the alum had trouble stopping the bleeding. I'm going to say that's very much the Feather blade being responsible. I was told my Matt at Razor Emporium that the Feather blade is slightly wider than other blades and that's why it can be such an abrasive/cut prone shave in many razors. I've used it and it is wicked sharp and causes me much irritation even when dialed down the lowest setting in a Rex Konsul. (A Feather is so sharp you don't need to dial it up for any reason in any adjustable razor.) Try a Wilkinson Sword or Permasharp next time in the Merkur Progress and see how it does. They are sharp enough to plow through any heavy growth and smooth enough to get you BBS without a lot of razor burn.

This is my go to - but really aggressive for me. I have to effectively dial it down to the lowest setting. Would be great to get a tutorial on how to clean and maintain! Also do others also deal with the infamous misalignment of the blade on this?

Mines either a 2019 or 2020 model. Never ever been misaligned. I believe they redid the moulds in 2016-17? because of the problems you mention, where the old moulds just wore out. Ref aggressiveness, everybody is different, my mild level on this razor is 2 or 2.5....
