Classic Men's Razor with 5 Razor Blades

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 travel 2.) 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!

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.

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.

Great for new comers because the edges are rounded makes it perfect for beginners. Ok it is cheaply made however its a great price point to get into double edge razors. If your a newbie to double edge razors make sure to buy quality blades. Believe it or not there's a huge difference. Astra fantastic feathers good also. Buy a variety pack for 9 dollars has 100 blades bt different companies so you can find what you like.

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 to this double edge razor from disposables. Depending on your own beard it may take one or two weeks for your wiskers to adjust to the change. Once your face has adjusted you may actually enjoy shaving instead of dreading it. The design of the shaver makes it easy to shave close and almost imposible to cut yourself. I've been shaving with the Wilkinson every day for several weeks and 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 expensive metal razor with more bells and whistles, the Wilkinson is a good deal and a good razor.

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.

The blades were fine but who thought it would be a good idea to have the edges of shaver protrude more outside than the blade itself? How is that supposed to work? You would have to press extremely hard on your face to even get the blade to touch the skin

I have used MANY Safety razors, and I can say that this is a surprising good Razor for the money. I can tell it wont be as durable as a few others I have, but fantastic for traveling, as a back up, or for simply trying a Safety razor for the first time. Shaves nice, and, as always, Wilkinson Sword Blades are great.

Super le meilleur des rasoirs a lame

Ürünü ucuz olduğu için aldım. Bir gün arayla iki defa tıraş oldum. Şimdiye kadar kullandığım onca aletin (folyolu tıraş makinesi dahil) arasında en tahrişsiz tıraşı bununla oldum. Herhangi bir yerimi kesmedim. İçinden çıkan jilet ile denedim, sonuçlar benim için yeterli. Şimdilik memnunum. Fiyatını bir kenara bırakırsak, ürünün plastik kafasının köşeleri cilde batıyor ve rahatsız ediyor. Bu kısımları en yumuşak zımpara ile yuvarladım, bu problem ortadan kalktı. Ekstra ağırlık için eklenen metal çubuğun oynaması hoş değil, bir şekilde onu da sabitlerim. Kafa kısmının plastik olması, ağırlığın yüze değil ele gelmesine sebep oluyor. Bu bakımdan hafif bir baskı gerekebilir tıraş olurken. Özetle; geleneksel tıraşı merak edenler, ucuza tıraş olmak isteyenler veya kıymetli makinesini seyahate götürmek istemeyenler için ideal bir ürün. Amazon'un servisi fevkalade. Ürüne ödediğim fiyat ise 160TL.

Firstly, this is an inexpensive razor and unfair to compare with more expensive razors. It does shave but is difficult to control in my opinion. It is all plastic and precision of the parts was not great. If you tend to lose razors then this is fine. The head being plastic meant I couldn’t feel it properly. Also the shape is quite rounded which makes it more difficult to find and hold the correct angle. I didn’t feel that the blade was held well and I never could keep from getting nicked. I wanted it to be my gym razor, but I think I will retire it now.

Excellent entry-level DE safety razor. Like many, the Wilkinson Sword classic is my very first safety razor. Design-wise, the twist-off lid is nothing too challenging to work around, though I can understand if some find that irksome. Razor has a decent weight balance; not too heavy for you to apply pressure when gripping, but not too loose where it loses traction making your passes. The complimentary Wilkinson blades are quite sharp and, factoring in frequency of use, only need to be replaced every month. Upon first use, I made no cuts whatsoever! Although, I noticed some redness near my upper lip when shaving my moustache; a likely reaction to a new blade that went away the next day. Also to mention, the few ingrown hairs under my chin were gone, which is a common expectation with safety razors. I can attest the Wilkinson Sword Classic DE safety razor is an excellent, beginner-friendly brand of DE safety razor. Whether personal or travel use, it's affordability-quality ratio ensures great shaves.
