Wilkinson Sword Classic Double Edge Premium Men’s Metal Safety Razor with x5 Refill Blades

Ordered the razor & blades for my cousin who complained shaving with disposable razors didn’t give a close shave. He called last night to say it was the first good shave he’s had in years! Sometimes the old ways are most reliable. Wish I hadn’t gotten rid of Pop’s old razors.

Good smooth shave. So much better than multi-blade razors.

After watching some shaving videos touting safety or double-edged razors, I decided to give this product a try. I've used disposable razors for all but the early years of my 50 years of shaving. I was ready to try a different razor, plus liked the economics that the double-edged razor would be cheaper in the long run.If one knows they prefer a double-edged razor, then this razor is probably fine. It is heavy and seems high-quality. I have no other double-edged razor to compare this against. But after four uses, I'm giving up on this razor and going back to disposable. Mostly because it takes longer to stop the bleeding on my face and neck from this razor than it does to shave with the disposable. The first use was a mess, not razor cuts, but just countless little nicks,, mostly on my neck. I tried to be more careful the second use, watching the angle of the blade and shaving carefully. Then I realized it would take me twice as long to shave with this razor, having to be so careful. On the third use, I shaved one side of my face/neck with the new razor and the other side with a disposable was already used. The disposable was much faster to use with the result being just as smooth. After a fourth try today and more bloody nicks, I decided I am done with this razor. I want shaving to be quick and easy. I don't want to have to be careful. Because I just have to shave again tomorrow. Again, this product may be a fine razor, but it is not for me. And I would caution anyone considering the switch from a disposable razor.

Super nice razor great shave get one.

These classic timeless safety razors are great because they are so easy to clean. I use for sideburns and areas that would clog up a double blade disposable razor. Man up and buy a real razor!

Mild not so bad for me but not bad at all

works fine

I just did a side by side visual and shave comparison review video of this razor against the Wilkinson Sword Double Edge Safety Razor. They appear to be the exact same razor in slightly different packaging, yet they're charging 66% more for this razor.I'd love to know what the difference is to the $18 WS.Good entry level razor but save your money and buy the $18 WS.

really excellent shaver

Elegancka old fashion golarka, trzeba się nauczyć jak ciąć ale super sprawa

All my life I have never used a razor and instead electric shavers however, over the last year or so, i've had issues with skin irritation.At great expense, I tried Harry's but a) I paid for the upgraded razor and the quality is poor and b) as much as the marketing of any cartridge razor (cough Gillette) claims, "closest shave", "no irritation - smooth with one stroke due to multiple blades", the truth is that the more blades, the more irritation.So, I took the big step to razor shaving and landed on the Wilkinson Sword safety razor, as the top rated on Amazon. Seems like it was a good choice! The razor is superbly made and nice and weighty - it's very clearly a high quality product but for a reasonable price. The blades are fine however, I do think there are sharper out there on the market.Very importantly, shaver waste, to me is disgusting and has to stop. I cannot believe that in 2022 supermarkets still sell "single use disposable" shavers which aren't recyclable (I also can't believe how popular they are). The cartridges are just as bad - all that plastic with metal blades within - most council facilities wouldn't be able to recycle those and it seems a waste in the first place to keep replacing a perfectly serviceable head. Safety razors and single blade "cut throat" are the most 'ethical' of the lot. The only waste is easily recycled wafer thin stainless steel blades and a bit of paper (so long as you buy the right blades - I noticed the Wiklkinson Sword ones come in plastic boxes of 5 which seems mad!).For anyone looking to make the switch and that hasn't used a razor before, I found this very easy, achieved a much smoother shave than I get from my electric shaver and, only got 1 tiny little cut (I mean tiny) on my first go.I am a convert.

Slight learning curve but once you get over that it’s a superb shave

J’ai testé ce rasoir de sûreté et franchement, il m’a surpris dans le bon sens. La qualité est vraiment au rendez-vous : il rase propre, net et très près, sans m’irriter ni me faire de coupures. On sent que la lame est bien guidée, ce qui donne un contrôle précis même sur les zones un peu sensibles.Le confort est top, même pour une peau réactive. Et niveau économies, c’est clairement un bon plan : les lames double tranchant coûtent beaucoup moins cher que des cartouches classiques, donc sur le long terme on s’y retrouve vraiment.✔️ Ce que j’ai aimé :Rasage très précis et efficacePas de coupures, bonne maîtrise de la lameDoux même sur peau sensibleTrès bon rapport qualité-prixConstruction solide, sensation pro5 lames incluses dans la boîte⚠️ À savoir :Le poids peut surprendre au début, mais on s’y habitue vite (et ça aide à laisser le rasoir “glisser tout seul”).Demande un petit temps d’adaptation si on passe du jetable au rasoir de sûreté.👉 Un excellent rasoir manuel pour ceux qui cherchent un rasage de près, propre et économique. Simple à prendre en main, efficace, robuste, difficile de trouver mieux pour ce prix. En espérant vous avoir aidé...
