The variations in quality between double edged blades available today from manufacturer to manufacturer, and often from batch to batch, make an adjustable razor almost an essential if you want to continue to wet shave. This has a blade bender adjustment screw and I've found that I can get an acceptable shave using blades that I considered unusable with my non adjustable Merkur classic. Simple and ruggedly bulit, should last a lifetime.

Excellent Razor,

I switched from using over-hyped, triple-blade razors to an "old-fashioned" double-edged safety razor (Merkur). I now get a closer shave with no ingrown hairs and "bumps". The Merkur DE safety razor is a fantastic tool.

If/when blade changing instructions are followed properly, the adjustment knob at base of razor always reverts back to original setting. Per instructions, alignment of notch on head with arrow base receiver is necessary else it will be 180 degrees off alignment. MERKUR DE razors are second to none in quality of comfort and construction. Highly recommended. The only disappointment was/is the adjustment knob shown on seller's Amazon store website is inaccurate. It is indeed bone color plastic unlike seller's picture of item showing metal knob. Other than that - no complaints.
