Safety Razor Adjustable Progress 510C

The Progress 510C is an adjustable safety razor that lets you change the blade gap to suit different shaving situations.

Turning the ivory-coloured adjustment dial moves the razor from a lower to a higher blade setting. A lower setting gives a milder shaving feel, while opening the blade gap further can make the razor more efficient on longer or denser growth. The 510C also has a long 104 mm handle, making it a good choice for users who prefer a longer grip and for shaving larger or harder-to-reach areas.

Choose this if: you want one safety razor that can be adjusted from a milder to a more open blade setting, regularly shave different lengths of growth, or simply prefer a long-handled razor.

Not suitable if: you prefer the simplicity of a fixed-head safety razor or want a short, compact handle.

How to use

Insert a standard double-edge razor blade and begin with the adjustment dial at a lower setting. Prepare the area to be shaved with warm water and apply lather made from shaving cream or soap. Shave with short, controlled strokes without pressing the razor into the skin.

Turn the adjustment dial gradually to increase or decrease the blade gap. A lower setting gives a milder shaving feel, while a higher setting exposes more of the blade gap and can be useful for longer or denser growth.

The numbered scale is best used as a reference for your own razor. The fully tightened position does not necessarily align with exactly the same mark on every Progress, so once you find settings that work for you, use those positions consistently rather than treating the numbers as absolute measurements.

Apply fresh lather before shaving the same area again.
