Merkur Vision 2000 nuances
The Vision 2000 is Merkur’s top of the range razor. However, when purchasing one of these impressive razors there are some things to be aware of.
As with our article on blade alignment, these razors are hand crafted and have certain tolerances built into them. The Vision 2000 tops the list in terms of tolerances, having a complicated internal mechanism that is designed to be robust. One of the characteristics of the Vision is the way in which it 
adjusts the blade gap up and down in a lopsided fashion. It is perfectly normal that it adjusts in this fashion, otherwise the razor would seize up with even the smallest bit of soap residue inside. It does not influence the end result and you’ll get a great shave!
Even though the Vision is designed to be robust it still requires regular cleaning as per Merkur’s guidelines.
