Where to buy a Mergress?

[ira108]

I've been planning on making the switch to an adjustable double edge razor and, from all I've read, the Mergress seems like the one that I would be happiest with. But I can't find it anywhere on the web. Is it still being made?

Well I was going to suggest ....razors.com but I just checked their site and it appears they no longer make the adjustment knob to customize a progress into the mergress. Too bad, they looked like they were well made.

Edit: that should say .... razors. for some reason I can't change it. apparently that is a banned word or something?

Looks like they are out of stock currently in long and short handles. Here is the original thread from the vendor corner.

The moderators will ban certain vendors from being mentioned if they repeatedly abuse the boards or do not comply with regulations set for the forums they are using to post. I guess they feel that if they wont comply with B&B staff then they shouldn't get the reward of revenue from B&B members.

OK. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

Correct, and it's not fair to other vendors (who now pay to advertise here) for them to receive free press.

Yes, most certainly a banned member, and circumventing the board's blocking software is also a violation of the board's rules. So putting spaces into the banned vendors name, in order to circumvent the block is a no no.

There is no store that sells the Mergress to my knowledge. There used to be, but Mer ran into customer's complaining about the quality of Merkur's product, and he decided it was far simpler to have the customer buy a Progress, make sure it met their standards, and then send it to him for customizing.

Mer (maker of the Mergress) is a member here. Just drop him a PM.

Thanks John, I apologize if I overstepped a boundary by mentioning that vendor. Wasn't trying to circumvent the rules, just didn't know better.

I followed your suggestion and he did already help me out. Thanks, everyone, for the advice.
