Not in India, I ordered them off the bay.
You can get replacement Merkur caps off the Bay also, just look for the long threaded ones, they are there and any long threaded Merkur cap will fit perfectly. If you have a Progress, just use that cap

Thank you for suggesting the workaround. Ordered a Merkur cap and it is on the way. I will update whenever I take it for a spin.You can get replacement Merkur caps off the Bay also, just look for the long threaded ones, they are there and any long threaded Merkur cap will fit perfectly.

Hello,
I use mine set at 5 for two pass head and face shave. I favor Voskhod, Kai and Nacet blades.
I don’t change settings during shave. Very smooth shaver.
Cheers

+1 Kai, 4-5 and it’s a wrap....
Gus, would you say this combo is smooth and comfortable? Or does it have a lot of blade feel? I am usually a middle setting kind of guy on most adjustables (including the Variant) except the Slim or Fatboy which I like a little higher, but I also don't prefer a lot of blade forward feel. How would you say this combo of the Kai on 4-5 is with the Variant? Thanks for your input

Please tell us.Once you get it, let me know and I’ll tell you how to calibrate it easily. I use the number under the cap side to dial it in with the adjustment numbers. The side where the number is located is my “arrow” point basically. I use the handle turn method, really easy.
I’ve mentioned this plenty of times, but if you have a Merkur Progress cap or want to pick up any long threaded Merkur cap (All identical at this point), it makes the Variant much smoother with any blade and fits under the nose better. It makes it a tad lighter also. I prefer Kai blades in it but this depends on the user of course.
Couldn't find any on the bay, wondering where to look next... Any suggestions? Thanks
I just searched, “merkur razor replacement parts” on the Bay and it is several postings down. I don’t think B and B wants me to post sellers or price, but you can see it there. Same person I purchased from a while back.

I often use Feathers in my Variant but not regularly as I like sharp blades but Feathers is not very comfortable on my skin. But for a really close shave no blades beat it. Variant is adjustable so I don't have issues setting up Feather blade on 2 and finish on 3.Question for the group. I have a Variant on the way and I'm pretty excited to use it. As for blades, I purchased a 100 pack of Feathers that I've been using with my first cheap kit purchased safety razor, a Fatip Grande I got for Xmas and soon with my variant. I haven't seen anyone talking about Feathers with the Variant. Why? What 2 or 3 blades would be your top pick?
