  • Welcome back to average guy tested! Today, we're soaking up the sun in beautiful Tampa Bay, Florida, where I've been eagerly awaiting to put two highly anticipated products through their paces.
    First up, we have the iconic and elegantly designed Progress razor from Merkur. This isn't just any razor; it's a piece of art, gifted to me by my great friend and shaving aficionado, ‪@Shaverboy516‬ A massive shoutout to Ron for this generous gift! The Progress combines traditional craftsmanship with a sleek design, ensuring a close, comfortable shave that's as luxurious as it is effective.
    Next, we dive into the aromatic world of artisan shaving with the Green Fig Shaving Soap and Splash from Elysian Soap Shop. My new best friend, Shannon, has outdone herself with this concoction. The soap's rich, creamy lather, paired with its refreshing and invigorating green fig scent, promises an unparalleled shaving experience. Don't just take my word for it; check it out for yourself at Elysian Soap Shop. www.elysiansoa...
    And what's a shaving ritual without my trusty sidekick? The 1962 Premium Synthetic Badger brush from the fine folks @ FM Brush Company joined the party, bringing its A-game as always. This brush isn't just about looks; its synthetic bristles are soft, durable, and create an exceptional lather, making every shave a moment to savor.
    Join me as I delve into the full shave and review of these luxurious products. You know it's going to be a great shave when you've got gear like this on your side.

    Hey Tony! Another heads up…. Amazon has a new Gillette Labs Champion Gold exfoliating razor. I ordered one over the weekend for the collection. 17 bucks.

    Great review. Congrats on getting your hand on this razor! I think you should consider a shave-off between this and the recently released Parker Variant OC. I hear the OC Variant is efficient and potentially slightly smoother than the CC Variant.

    Awesome shave Tony. Those Merkur razors are fantastic, I don't think I've ever had my progress on anything above 3. That soap performance is top too, a week's growth didn't stand a chance with that combo.

    Great Shave Tony in India we have a similar razor to the Progress which is the Parker Variant which is a little more aggressive than the Progress

      ​​​@@averageguytestedYour video was genuine review..there is no comparison between legend ie. merkur progress n it's copy parker variant..merkur progress can easily be the largest ever sold razor since production started way back in 1955.. people miss the whole point..how can we compare something which still sells for past 70 years with something just launched or already out of production like Gillette slim etc ? Comparison should be if both sold for same time n r still popular with the masses ..my question is can parker variant still sell at same price as Merkur progress? Can slim command premium over progress without rework or touch ups?
