Marking on Merkur Progress DE Razor

[JohnnyO]

Just to mention, in case I'm the only one who took a while to realise it, the Merkur Progress adjustable has an indentation on the removeable head which must be aligned to the indent on the base handle unit. If the head is mounted the wrong end round it really does knock out the adjustment. Mr. Merkur neglected to mention this in the wrapping when I bought the razor and, being on the slow side it was a wee while before I cottoned on.

This razor must have the lousiest set of instructions--ever!!
Took me quite a while to work this out but as I thought it was only me being silly I did not 'write it up'.
Thanks for posting--I feel better now.
