Amazon.com has the Merkur Progress Long Handle for $50.29 right now. There was a thread here a few weeks ago that had it listed for $45 from a 3rd party reseller. This one is sold directly by Amazon. According to Camel, this is just about the lowest that Amazon has ever listed this razor. The model # stated on the page is 051 but it's actually 90 510 001 in the Merkur catalog. This qualifies for free shipping on Amazon as it's above their new $49 free shipping policy:

There's also a 3rd party reseller called Beauty_Supplies which was just added to Amazon that's selling it for an amazing $37.64 + $4.50 shipping. Personally, I would rather pay the additional $8 and purchase it direct from Amazon. They had 4 left in stock 30 minutes ago and now there's only 1 left here:

I couldn't delete this post so I'm updating it:
In the last 5 minutes while I was typing the above, Amazon increased their price to $58.78 and the 3rd party retailer increased their price to $49.72 + shipping. What might have happened is that Amazon lowered their Merkur Progress until the 3rd party reseller sold out the quantity they desired to sell at a lower price, because not that reseller has more long handles at the higher price.
