Wilkinson Sword Double Edge Razor for Men With 5 Double Edge Razor Blades Refills

It's a great traditional tried-and-tested double edge razor, and the Wilkinson Sword blade is incomparable. I usually shave with a straight razor, and I like that the best, it gives the closest, most uniform shave, and it costs nothing except the razor, strop, and a couple of stones for honing. But it take time to learn the skill of honing the blade, and sometimes the edge needs a touch up and you are in a hurry. Plus, you can't shave with a straight razor in the shower (you must have the mirror). So, for convenience this razor is great. The blades last a long time as they are stainless steel, and they are much CHEAPER than the rip-off cartridge razors with 3, 4, and now 5 blades--and there is NO PLASTIC to dispose of. NONE. You can even get double edge blades in WAX PAPER packaging. Having said all that, you can shave without hurting yourself immediately. With a little practice (like 2 or 3 shaves) you can get nearly as close a shave as you can with a straight razor. One thing I like about the straight razor is that the next day, as your beard starts to come back, the stubble feels really good, not harsh like with an electric or one of these plastic monstrosities. Well, this Wilkinson Sword blade does very close to the same thing. Even with a day's growth, my face still feels, well, nice and civilized. So for $16.00, you can try it out, and you won't be disappointed. Plus, unless you want to grow a beard, you have to shave every day. Trying out different methods is fun. This one is particularly fun. Get some good shave cream. Don't ever use that chemical crap they sell at the supermarket. Get the best, Proraso, from Italy, and get yourself a decent shaving brush, I recommend Omega professional. It's boar bristle, but actually, that is the best. Badger is expensive, overrated, and generally if you get Badger online, it is going to be fake, colored Boar. Just get the boar. I works better. Any kind of small bowl will work for the lather, but with the Proraso and the omega, you can basically wet your face, rinse the brush in hot water, squirt the Proraso into the brush and make the lather on your face. Proraso is the best, it smells good, softens and protects, and you can imagine you are in an Italian barbershop getting a barber shave and the go get some realy neapolitan pizza with that gorgeous dark haired girl who is flirting with you through the barbershop window. Have fun. You shave every single day. Make it an adventure.

This razor is just the right thing for beginners and pros to enjoy. The handle is long enough for people with bigger hands (such as myself) to comfortably hold onto the handle or the end of the handle without feeling tired or annoyed from the typical small sized handles that other companies (such as Van Der Hagen) put onto their products/razors. However, the handle is just the right amount of length as well for smaller handed people to enjoy the shaving experience with it. The razor itself has a good weight to it, and will only need little to no pressure to glide well over your face and neck area. The butterfly opening is easy to open and close, and will not open accidentally until you open it. The handle features a beautiful elongated spiral pattern going vertically that provides extremely well grip for the user, and is something for the user to visually admire. The blades included are (believe it or not) extremely well made. Compared to Gillete Platinum (which are platinum coated) or even the Van Der Hagen (which are btter used for a refund or in the trash) blades that I have used, the blades provided, provided a smoother feel compared to either of the other blades. Note, that feedback highly depends on what your shave routine needs or your skin and facial hair type, but it doesn't hurt to try new things. This product worked well for me with my extremely sensitive skin, and with facial hair that is soft but on the thicker end of the spectrum. The shaving products, I use are the Shave Oil, Cremo Shaving Cream that's peppermint scented, and Harry's Post-Shave Balm. Either way, I feel because of the Teflon coating on the Wilkinson Sword blades, I could achieve a close shave with minimal irritation and/or bleeding. The razor itself is not aggressive and the blades are pretty forgiving. When using the right techniques and using products that work the best for you, this razor and it's blades make it almost impossible for you to cut yourself. I highly recommend this product from this company, they made a great product. I have used this product for two weeks since making this video in order to form an opinion and really try out the product to be able to provide a fair review.

I was looking for something a little bit vicious or aggresive. This one had some reviews that mentioned that it was a prove to nic or cut you while other reviews said this was a terrific razor. I went with this one for the aggresiveness and inexpensiveness. It has cut me and I've bought a couple of septic pencils to deal with it. As I get used to using this razorthough I've become much more adept and careful. (It takes a little learning curve.) I mean really!? I would rather use a straight razor but don't have the patience and desire to be that awake to shave myself. A DE (doubel edge) razor is the BEST choice for ease and precision to use. Along with the cost of buying DE blades as apposed to electric or disposable multi-blade razors this is the clear choice.

Prefiro os safety razors inclinados (slant), são mais eficientes. Este barbeador é muito confortável e seguro. Mesmo com lâminas extremamente afiadas, como as BIC, ou as Feather, ainda é um barbeador previsível, com quase zero risco de cortes acidentais. Para barbas mais densas pode não ser uma boa escolha, mas depende muito da prática e estilo no barbear. No geral trata-se de um excelente produto, de qualidade e material excepcionais, que sugerem alta longevidade. As lâminas Wilkinson Sword importadas que vêm no pacote possuem boa afiação e eficiência satisfatória, pelo que acredito que dê para reutilizá-las por pelo menos mais uma vez. Satisfeito com a compra e com a entrega!

This razor is my first DE razor - I bought a Merkur 23C after this and it is nowhere near as good as this for me. This gives a nice close shave but you need to use proper shaving cream eg Proraso or Tobs with a brush - my first experience with this razor was not pleasant using the Nivea stuff out of a can 🩸. The blade that comes with this is ok but the Astra and Feather blades work well. What is great about this compared to the Merkur 23C is the additional weight this has, that it’s easier to sense where the blade is, and it is efficient without being aggressive. You won’t be spending all day making pass after pass to get a nice close shave, I go wtg and xtg and the for my thicker chin hair just a bit atg. Far far closer than Mach 3 etc which I used to use before this. I also use the Proraso pre shave balm but that’s not strictly necessary. I use a aftershave balm as well for comfort. The only potential downside is I’m not sure how easy it would be to clean the razor thoroughly if that were to be needed in future - see pic for what I mean when the razor is open. If you’re on the fence about DE shaving can’t recommend this highly enough.

This razor replaces a 25 year old Gillette double edge razor that I have! The Gillette razor is only about 27g. This one is a relatively hefty 87g. And it shaves wonderfully. The weight helps painlessly glide through a week old beard with very light pressure. The shave is very gentle; even a tad gentler than the lightweight Gillette one I have been using all these years. It is possible to shave over pimples without cutting ourselves. I haven't tried the razor blades (there were 5 of them) that the razor had come with, so I don't have any opinion about them.

After making the switch from disposable cartridge razors to a double edge safety razor, I picked up this Wilkinson Sword model to try traditional wet shaving. I’m thoroughly impressed after a few weeks of regular use. What I Liked: Excellent Build Quality: The metal handle has a satisfying weight and feels premium in the hand. The vintage-inspired design looks timeless and feels secure, even when wet. Close, Comfortable Shave: Paired with the included triple-coated blades, it delivers a consistently close shave with minimal irritation—no more razor burn or tugging! The mild aggression makes it ideal for beginners and those with sensitive skin. Smooth Blade Loading: The butterfly opening mechanism makes swapping blades quick and effortless. The set includes five high-quality blades, good for several shaves each. Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective: Blades are compatible with all standard double edge razors and are far more cost-effective than cartridge systems. Plus, less plastic waste! Unisex Friendly: Although marketed for men, it works just as well for women, including on sensitive skin and curves. What Could Be Better: Learning Curve: Requires a gentle touch and correct angle—my first shave included a couple of tiny nicks, but practice quickly paid off. Take your time, especially if you’re new to safety razors! Handle Size: While most users find the handle length and grip ideal, those with very large hands or people attempting tricky shaving spots (like under the nose) might prefer a different size or shape. Blade Sharpness: The included blades are mild to medium, which is perfect for most but may not suit those with very coarse beards—swap in a sharper blade if needed. This Wilkinson Sword razor is a fantastic entry point for anyone looking to elevate their shaving routine or reduce plastic waste. Reliable, easy to maintain, and delivers a classic, smooth shave—bring your favorite shaving soap and brush for the full barbershop experience. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced shavers!
