Adjustable razor recommendations? by greatnessinc on 11 Sep, 2013 21:35

I have a Merkur Futur but it's too bulky to get the areas under my nose efficiently. I also have an Edwin Jagger 89. What I'd like is something as sleek as the EJ89 but with the functionality of the Futur. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I only have one adjustable DE, which is the Merkur Progress. It works great but I don't use it much because i'm forever changing razor.
I also have a schick adjustable injector, which is just fantastic. If you've never used an Injector you owe it to yourself to try some, and the M type adjustable is fantastic. Blades last much longer than DE blades, too. -

Hi Nate: I'm with Brian in that I would go with the Merkur Progress. I get some great shaves with mine. It is not as aggressive as the Futur but shaves great.
Also... I would not leave out any vintage razors. A Gillette Fatboy or Gillette Super Adjustable aka Black Beauty razors are awesome too. Keep us posted.

Just pulled the trigger on the progress, I'll post my opinion on it once I get to use it. I paid $70 on eBay, pretty sweet deal.

Did you try it out yet?
I dug mine out today after 5 days without shaving. Glorious shave! -

I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Once it gets here, I'll give that bad boy a spin.

Just got it today, I'll be testing this bad boy out in the morning.
Update:
Started using it today, it's a lot easier to use than the Futur (or at least it's able to get in closer under the nose). -

Kindly post up your Progress SOTD in the SAFETY RAZOR SOTD Section. We can always use some participation.

For the uninitiated, what is the difference between an adjustable and a regular DE razor like the Merkur 34c? What adjusts on these razors?

The angle of the blade.
