Shaving Hardware Comparison Guide

  • The Solingen Barbershop Standard: Forged in Solingen, Germany since 1896. Models like the legendary Merkur 34C Heavy Duty (short handle, 0.71mm neutral gap) and Merkur 23C (long handle) provide distinct acoustic and tactile blade feedback prized by traditional wet shavers, while the Merkur Futur & Progress offer 6-stage dial adjustability.
  • Compared to Plastic Cartridges: Replaces expensive 5-blade plastic refills that tug hair below the skin line (causing ingrown hairs) with a single recyclable surgical steel edge costing pennies per week.

The MERKUR 500 Progress is a model from the 1950s. The chrome-plated knob with the MERKUR engraving and the profiled handle tube correspond to this period. The shaving head can be adjusted using an adjustment scale. The angle of attack and blade gap can be adjusted from the gentlest shave to a close shave. So nothing stands in the way of your individual and flawless shave.

Expert Knowledge Base & Buyer Protection

How does Free Global Shipping over $75 CAD work, and do you ship to the USA, Europe, Nordics, and worldwide?+

Yes! All orders dispatch from our Canadian warehouse in Chestermere, Alberta. Orders over $75 CAD (or the equivalent in your local currency) qualify for Free Standard Global Shipping Worldwide ($15 CAD flat rate under $75 CAD). Standard shipping is tracked wherever available through destination postal/courier networks, and ships via reliable International Air Mail where tracked service is not available. Need faster delivery? You can select our Paid Express Courier Upgrade at checkout. Please note: International orders outside Canada ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU); the recipient is responsible for local import VAT/GST and customs clearance fees. Refusing a parcel at customs results in actual round-trip courier return fees being deducted from your refund.

What is your return policy, 12-hour cancellation window, and 24-hour transit damage protocol?+

Orders operate on a strict 12-hour cancellation window from the time of purchase before locking for warehouse fulfillment. Unused, unwashed, factory-sealed items in their original packaging may be returned within 30 days of delivery via an authorized RMA (subject to a 10% inspection/restocking fee; original and return shipping costs are non-refundable). Strict Hygiene Final-Sale Rule: Any grooming tool, razor, blade pack, brush, soap, skincare product, or hydration/cooking/dining vessel that has been unsealed, rinsed, washed, or used is 100% Final Sale. In the rare event of courier transit damage, you must notify us within 24 hours of the carrier delivery timestamp with clear photos of the damaged item, the outer shipping box, and the courier shipping label.

Helpful Hardware Tips: (1) On Henson razors, ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade during assembly so the blade edge engages properly; (2) On DOVO carbon-steel straight razors, blot the blade dry after every shave and store outside steamy bathrooms to prevent oxidation.

Where are Merkur safety razors manufactured?+

All Merkur safety razors are precision-engineered and manufactured in Solingen, Germany—often referred to as the 'City of Blades.' They are renowned globally for their traditional craftsmanship and superior metallurgical quality.

What is the difference between Merkur closed comb and open comb razors?+

A closed comb razor, like the classic Merkur 34C, has a straight safety bar ideal for everyday shaving and sensitive skin. An open comb razor features teeth that channel thicker, longer hair directly to the blade, making it perfect for heavy beard growth.

Are Merkur razors heavy and durable?+

Yes. Most Merkur razors feature a heavy brass core finished with premium chrome plating. This engineered weight allows the razor to do all the work, requiring zero pressure and reducing skin irritation during your daily shave.
