WilkinsonSword Classic Men's Razor with 5 Razor Blades

I recently purchased a double edge razor and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The razor itself is very well made and has a nice weight to it, it felt sturdy and comfortable to hold. The blades are extremely sharp and provide a close and smooth shave. I appreciate that it's a double edge razor which provides a more traditional and close shave, also it's eco-friendly and cost-effective since blades are cheaper than disposable razors. The handle design is also very sleek and easy to grip, it provides a good balance and control while shaving. I highly recommend this double edge razor to anyone looking for a high-quality, traditional shaving experience.

As a wet shaving veteran, I have too many safety razors to count! New models, hard to find/vintage single edge razors, luxury Mongoose SE razors, Injector blade style razors, and a couple straight razors etc... I have practically tried them all!I was looking around for a good, cheap travel DE safety razor and eventually came across this Wilkinson Sword Classic. It's made from black polymer and inside the handle is a silver/metal bar, which helps to add some usable weight to the razor.Key benefits for this razor:1.) Lightweight for travel2.) Cheap (so even if you lose it during travel or just decide that wet shaving isn't your bag, you won't be too mad.)3.) The head design covers the side tabs of the DE razor blade. (Those side tabs can be sharp sometimes! This feature will definitely help to deter some accidental nicks/cuts, especially for beginners.)4.) Mild-medium blade gap (easy to use no matter what your experience/skill level; ton of confidence even when doing full "against-the-grain" passes.)5.) Comes with a pack of blades, so you're all set to go!

It’s been a few months so far using it. As a person who’s never used a double sided razor to shave before this was a perfect and budget friendly way to get started.The blade they offer is sharp enough to get the cleanest shave and the guard itself is very forgiving for new learners. The handle does have a little rattle but that doesn’t take away from the performance itself, it’s long enough for me to have substantial control and the grip is great for when I get out the shower or overall humid conditions.A solid choice for anyone learning to start shaving like their grandfather haha. Would recommend!

This is not a $100 work of art razor — it is a $5-10 plastic razor, suitable for travel or those who like being thrifty. For $20 more you can get the excellent and beautiful Merkur 23c or a bit more for an Edwin Jagger or Merkur 34c. However, the difference between those highly rated beauties and this plastic razor are mostly in the asthetics and durability. In terms of the shave it provides, the Wilkinson is close to the Merkurs, mild yet effective. It is lightweight and hence a good razor for those switching from cartridge razors. I filed down a couple of sharp corners with an emory board, but otherwise the fit and finish was very good. The head is a little bulky on the sides, presumably to protect the user from the blade edges. The plastic head does not glide quite as smoothly as a chromed metal head, but otherwise the performance is pretty close to metal razors. The provided blades are great; I have found them an excellent companion for my Merkur razors. I will use the Classic as a travel razor I won't fret about losing. Too bad they don't stock these in the states; mine shipped from Old Blighty.

For the price, this little DE safety razor is actually quite good. For $6 and some change it's not that bad; however, I would like to say that for someone who likes an aggressive shave it doesn't fit the bill. If you're looking for something really inexpensive and affordable, and are a bit hesitant to using a safety razor for the first time, I would recommend this. It's easy on the skin and feels like a glides. You might need to apply a slight amount of pressure to get it to shave. If, however, you require your shaves to have a feeling of actually shaving, I would recommend something different. But for the money, you really can't beat this guy.For all you first timers who are a bit apprehensive about using a safety razor for this first time, try this one out. Once you start trying it and you start to feel a bit more confident, upgrade to a metal one and graduate from there. You don't need super expensive razors to do the job, but most safety razors will do the job. Buy some affordable razors too, to help with budget costs.

The Wilkinson Sword Classic performs better than expected and delivers a close shave.Don't let the low price or it's plastic body affect your decision to purchase this razor.You will save tons of money and get much closer and more comfortable shaves if you switch tothis double edge razor from disposables. Depending on your own beard it may take one or twoweeks for your wiskers to adjust to the change. Once your face has adjusted you may actuallyenjoy shaving instead of dreading it. The design of the shaver makes it easy to shave close andalmost imposible to cut yourself. I've been shaving with the Wilkinson every day for several weeksand I have not gotten a single nick or razor burn. For the record I have been using Wilkinson Sword blades.You should experiment and find the blade that works best for your face and your beard.The razor has a simple two piece design and if you don't feel compelled to purchase an expensivemetal razor with more bells and whistles, the Wilkinson is a good deal and a good razor.

I have been de shaving for 9 years this is the best bargain razor for beginners I would highly recommend it. I have gotten some amazing shaves with this razor. It is a mild forgiving razor great for learning and developing good technique. Also mostly all plastic so sturdy and easy grip. For more experienced de shavers a great travel razor and a nice mild shave. Buy with confidence.
