The VISION razor from Merkur is a modern day update of the classic adjustable double edge razor and the most technologically advanced safety razor available. Years of trial and error went into the balanced ergonomic design which means no matter where you grip the handle you maintain perfect control. The VISION features full adjustability, allowing you to increase or decrease the gap between the blade and the safety bar to find the setting that gives you the closest, most comfortable shave. The blade position preferred can be noted by using the V-I-S-I-O-N scale around the top of the handle (see link below entitled Purpose of the adjustment ring). The traditional TTO (Twist To Open) handle opens the butterfly head for easy installation/removal of razor blades. This hefty 4.4 ounce hand-tooled one-piece razor with matte chrome finish measures 4-3/4" tall and has a head that measures 2" x 1". The handle is 4-1/4" long with bottom width of 3/4", middle width of 7/16", top width of 13/16". The VISION shave quality can only be compared with that of a professional barber. Comes with 10 Super Stainless Platinum Blades (though any standard double edge blade can be used), use & cleaning instructions, and a handsome metal case. $154.63
