You are right!
Sometimes a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.

A Merkur Progress it is.
Isn't the Ming-Shi 2000/ Futur an agressive razor? From what I've heard, the Merkur Futur is supposed to be more agressive, even on lower settings.
It's worth while experimenting. I had the same itch a while back and purchased a Merkur Futur. I wanted to avoid one in my earlier years of wet shaving so as not to keep 'tweaking' the settings and keep variables to a minimum.
I now love the Futur on every setting. It suits every growth level I have and is a sheer pleasure to use. I have no doubt you'll feel the same about your Progress before long.
In that regard I don't detect any difference.I purchased a Ming-Shi, and enjoy it as a technical challenge on a Saturday. I do find that the blade is not as well held in place in this razor as in a Rockwell 6 or EJ D89. It seems to 'judder' a little which feels disconcerting. I wonder if a proper Futur would suffer the same problems?
Thanks @jmudrick. In that case, I won't bother with a purchase. For once the site as *saved* me money!In that regard I don't detect any difference.
