The benefits of the <a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/merkur-classic\/?output_format=toamz\">Merkur Classic<\/a> were described well by another reader on Cool Tools. And if you shave frequently that&#8217;s a great razor. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/merkur-progress-double-edge-safety-razor\/?output_format=toamz\">Merkur Progress<\/a> fills a different niche in my mind. I don&#8217;t like shaving. So I procrastinate and usually end up shaving once a week. By that time the whiskers on my face are long enough that I can&#8217;t shave them with an electric razor without a lot of hassle. And most wet-shave razors have a small gap for the whiskers, which makes shaving week old whiskers difficult. The Merkur Progress, however, has a big chamber right under the blade to hold long whiskers while shaving. I can wait a week and then shave with the Merkur Progress with no hassle at all. It&#8217;s not cheap. But I&#8217;ve been using mine for over ten years and it works and looks like new. If you are an occasional shaver like me this might make your life a little bit easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great for occasional shavers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35486"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35486"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35490,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35486\/revisions\/35490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
