I have both the LH Progress and the Mergress XL, and I need some time every morning to decide which one to use. Adding that wonderful Bull Progress woul make the choice nearly impossible...

Heck, I gotta send Bob an e-mail.

my one only Merkur left in my den. A modified, BRW 2 Tone Bull Progress Deluxe.

From what I understand, this wast the 1st time anyone had requested such a razor from Bob and I think it turned out wonderfully.

Here is the Merkur version of gearchow's slant.





Now a Merk 3 piece with an unusual head. One safety bar is smooth while the other is fluted.







Enjoying the journey.....

I don't know, but these futuristic looking Merkurs are a bit too much for me. They seem built bulky for the sake of bulky. Mind you, I'm quite partial to old Gillette OC razors.
