I've been on the search for a Megress knob for my Progress. I've found Bobs Razors do them, but does anyone know anyone UK based who makes them ?

Can only be production cost. I love the look of the Megress style chrome knobs, far better than the plastic one. Also atop razor.
Merkur make good shaving razors ,but, do you think they would be capeabe of producing a "premium" brand of razor given that they are not particulary well known for the quality of finish . Would they be able to finish a razor to the standards of the premium brands on the market today,I for one have returned Merkur razors due to a poor finish .Jeltz said:Northam Saint said:Jeltz said:what I have never been able to understand is why Merkur still make them with that crappy knob

Indeed but if they did a little customer research they would know that its one of the most common criticisms.
While it would cost more I'm sure that they could charge more and even increase their margin.
Actually given the prices some of the artisan razors and old Gillettes have been making I'm surprised that Merkur hasn't established a "premium" brand to produce limited edition or stainless steel razors to enthusiasts. If I was a marketing guy for Merkur I would be looking to see who owns the Hoffritz brand or bringing out a range of exclusive safety razors under the Dovo branding. Among that would be a progress that looked the part!
