We received a small batch of Mergress Razors from Eric Maier this morning. Eric has been modifying Merkur Progress razors since 2007 and, they have become a bit of a cult classic. For those unfamiliar, Eric calibrates the razors, smooths out their action and adds a stainless steel knob and a colored adjustment dot improving on an already great shaving razor. We receive these periodically and in small batches so make sure to grab one while you can.

It’s blasphemy to remove the plastic knob. Should be illegal, in my opinion. The Progress is a special razor.
But I know people like these and they’re not available most of the time.

Looks like a fair price as well my friend!

Thank you Dave!
You almost inspired me to order one immediately. I’ve been called a heretic a few times in my life and that might be the perfect razor to confirm that. <eg>
There was a guy who replaced the Progress plastic knob with Iron Man’s head from a toy. It looked very good, actually.
I had my mind set on a Ranger Tech next... but these Mergress don't come around often so that may change. The plastic knob was always the deal breaker for me with the Progress.
Phil,
We are still out of the country so I haven’t been able to see and feel the two Megress razors I purchased, but I wanted to thank you for the immediate processing and shipments for them both.
I got one in both lengths. It’s sort of a posterity thing, I suppose. You never know when something available now will cease to be around in the not too distant future.

I was wondering…. Are there many left at this point

Thank you very much for your orders. I believe I have two XL Mergress razors remaining and 4 standard Mergress razors.
I love the Mergress XL. Its weight and balance are great and a very smooth shaving and efficient razor for me. I'm surprised they didn't sell out sooner. It fits well in the tall RR variable width SS inkwell stand. That's the only one I had big enough but its a good match.

We received a batch of Standard Mergress razors late in the day yesterday. Eric is out of the XL knobs and it is very likely that the XL model is gone for good.
I'm glad I bought one of each the last time you had them in.
I forgot what Corey Feldman got. A big 6 sided die(dice) or an 8 ball?
Are the XL's officially gone?

Yes. Eric ran out of the XL knobs and the minimum run at the machine shop is too large for the current demand.
Phil- any idea if you’ll get the standard ones back in stock at some point?
There's an XL on the bst page atm.
