I have been wet shaving for a while now and gotten a pretty good routine down. I own only one razor, a 50's Aristocrat and use typically only one soap, D.R. Harris Marlborough. I have tried alot of soaps and creams and I have found that my Aristocrat loaded with yellow Gillettes works best for me. However, I am looking for a change, to experience something new. Lately the Merkur Progress has caught my eye, I have been told that its a great shaver, but I have used a adjustable razor before (Gillette Slim) and I wasn't to impressed. So my question is, is the Progress different from a Gillette adjustable? How does it shave compared to a Aristocrat? Any insight will be appreciated.
Is a Progress right for me?

I own and use several Merkur razors and many Gillette DE's. I really like the Progress. I have the New Long Handle Progress and even a Mergress. I even got a Futur. I keep going back to the Progress. Did I mention I own three Merkur Slants. All my Merkurs are great shavers. If I had to chose one razor to take to Mars it would be a Progress! The Progress and Futur both have a fine tuning adjustment. A Gillette Adjustable has only Nine clicks. Enjoy
