    Some more Wilkinson Sword facts (or myths). They were also made here in Wales where I live. It is said their sabre blades where so well tempered they could be curled inside a bowler hat. Second fact, we have my wife’s Great Uncle’s dress Wilkinson Sabre. Stay safe and keep your great videos coming.

    After trying several soaps and creams I definitely prefer cream due to it's lubricity. After using most common brands available in supermarkets and drugstores here in Germany I ended up with Palmolive Sensitive as the one I always use. Much different to the non sensitive version which anyway has some ingredients that make my skin itchy during the shaving although lubricity is extremely good which I always appreciate. Also here in Germany we have a brand called Florena which makes excellent Nivea Balsam clones and also great shaving creams for adjusted budgets, available in many supermarkets.
    That Wilkinson gives me feelings of my Weixi safety razor which is the worst I've ever had in my life and almost ended my introduction in this lovely world. I still wonder If I received a defective unit...

    I have been using this razor for the past 6 months. It is my first double edge razor. I think it is a little bit hard to begin traditional wet shaving but it is a good razor. I think it is a mild razor, milder than de89-r89, butterfly razors are easy to blade in. I can easily suggest to everyone who is beginner for wet shaving. Also thanks a lot for the review Geofatboy!

    Hi Geo. Great Video: This is pretty much my daily set up. I bought the Wilkinson Sword Classic model which is a little bigger....a little heavier at 120gr. Love this mild razor for a quick shave when I am in a hurry and only do one pass just tool look presentalble, 2-3 more for that BBS face.
    Have used Palmolive for years both soap and cream, I like to Face Lather as it gives the beard a good workout. Talk on the net that Palmolive has discontinued makeing shaving soap and cream😢 HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING??
    I´v yet too try out the Wilkinson Blades that came with the razor as I am still useing up my Persona Blades and have been going over too the new DERBY BLUE Blades that I find work very well in all my razors...The Wikinson - Parker 96R - Bluebeard Cutthroat and my Bluebeard Shavett Razor. Which razor i use depends on how much beard I need to shave...Wilkinson for everyday, Parker or Blueberad for 3-4 days, the Shavett for 1-2 weeks, any longer and I just start up the Lawn Mower and shove my chin in there.
    I can strongly recommend the Wilkinson for Bigginers, Quick Shavers, and Old Timers who need a mild shave.
    As for Razor Blades....Beginners, buy a sample kit on line and find the right blade for you.
    Happy Shaving

    I bought one of these as my first DE razor after 30+ years of using cartridge razors. In the UK it's called The Edger, and it's cheap as chips; the build quality far exceeded my expectations, especially when you consider the price. I agree that the W-S blades that come with it aren't particularly good, however, with KAI blades, this razor absolutely shines! It'll deal with 7 days of coarse growth painlessly, effortlessly, and leave you with a face smoother than a baby's bum!

  • @itoldjaso
    @itoldjaso 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Wilkinson blade (which I find compares favorably to the Persona in the red box of 100 blades) would work better on a one or two day growth, whereas the Feather blade (which seems to compare favorably with the Persona in the blue box of 100) works better on a multi-day growth that you used when you started this demonstration--------I have this razor and have used several blades; furthermore, I, too, have the Palmolive tube cream and the Simpson's Chubby 2 Silver tip Super Badger brush-------I suppose you can say that I'm finicky, but I look forward to shaving.

    About the overhang...
    It is designed like that to serve a safety purpose.
    The two overhangs are handles tha let you take the blade off the rasor without grabing it by the sharp edges. Caution is still required as even the overhangs are not sharpened, it still can hurt you if you grab them to tight due to how thin they are.

    @geofatboy how do you compare Palmolive cream to other cream/spoap products you like and prefer? Since you're expert and i'm in Europe, wanna now if it's better to go with let's say Green Proraso or green Palmolive in terms of lubricity (gliding). Thanks in advance.

    • @geofatboy
      @geofatboy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Creams are YMMV so try them both and see which one you prefer. I find myself using the Proraso much more often if that helps.

    Hi, I bought my first DE razor, a King C Gillette just over 4 weeks ago because the 3 blade cartridges got more expensive again. I tried it out, was quite satisfied, but it left some stubbles under my jawline (with the King C Gillette blades). So I decided to buy the Wilkinson as well. I find the Wilkinson a bit more aggressive, giving a better shave (both with KCG and Wilkinson blades). Afterwards I tried different blades (no name Supermarkt ones, said to be unbranded Personna red). They for sure were sharper, more aggressive than the Wilkinson and KCG. Now the interesting part: I found them to reverse what I found out about the razors, with those blade the Wilkinson seems to be a little bit milder than the King C Gillette, the Gillette a bit more aggressive than the Wilkinson. Is that even possible or am I wrong? Thanks for your review, I agree, both razors are well suited for beginners like me. Though I like the Wilkinson a little bit better.

    I just bought it with the Wilkinson blades I did two passes and I really could have gone one and done. My face was on fire really, cause I made the typical newbie mistake of pressing too hard like a cartridge, lol. No nicks though, I was very careful. I'm getting a sampler pack with some feather blades and 17 other brands. So that should be fun.
    I am sold on double edge shaving, it's a very close and nice shave and so cheap vs. 3, 4 and 5 blade cartridge. I just have to learn to not be heavy handed. I knew not to be too, but just forgot. My skin does not like me right now, I had to break out the Polysporin, Aloe, you name it. But, the parts of my face that are not on fire, yeah, nice shave, just wonderful. Their blades though?! Meh, they are "o.k.", but I know so many other brands are cheaper and better and can't wait to order and try out my 100 pack of sampler blades
    I might just get some Proraso sensitive skin pre save, what do you think of that stuff Geofatboy?

      the shaving blade sticks out on the sides. So on the Wilkinson Classic Razor, be verry careful when shaving under your nose area. Sorry for mine bad english! You could also look for king c gillette!
      If i am right, those have a rounded edge, so no blade exposure on the side.

  • @TheSilverFX
    @TheSilverFX 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It looks like this razor would suit me perfectly fine for weekdays use just to see how mild it is. I'm still cutting my self a little too much with either the King C Gillette nor the Viking Revolution so I guess I just need a milder razor, especially since I'm a beginner that started safety shaving for around a month and a half. I wouldn't go back to cartridge shaving, even if it would mean to me less cuts. And cartridge would never shave as close as what the safety razor can do! But once I'll go through all my blades (I have like 3 KCG remaining, 6 or 7 Viking and 5 Wilkinson (bought the razor yesterday)), I think I might go toward a combination of the WSword + Feather blades since I never really liked the feel of the Viking Revolution handle overall... As for the KCG, might simply keep it for when I need to shave after a weekend of non-shaving (I'm usually not shaving on Saturdays nor Sundays).
    In the end, always great videos you show us. They help us making ourselves more confident into going the safety razor route!
