Which one? I have a couple of Merkurs but the adjustable Progress is my favorite.
The Merkur is on the left:
And that little gem on the right is a genuine Gillette Toggle Red Dot. They were the prototype adjustable razor, only made in one quarter of the year and only two years. The one shown happens to have been made in the same quarter and year (my 'birthyear' razor) as me :-) A pretty rare razor, especially in that condition.
There has been a tremendous revival in the double edge safety razor industry lately. The prices for fairly common razors are really increasing and for rare razors they are getting downright insane. The joke among users and collectors is that wet shaving is going to save me money: I personally think I will be even sometime in the year 2689 or so.

I bought a new razor this past weekend. A Merkur, made in Germany, old style safety razor, long handle, heavyweight, two piece. Should last a lifetime.
