Wilkinson Sword Double Edge Razor For Men, Barber's Style Wet Shavers for a Close and Comfortable Shave, 1 Double-Sided Razor Handle plus 5 Blades Refills Pack

In these days of multi-bladed, flexing and swivelling, plastic razors (with and without vibration motors), it is very easy for the uninitiated to think of the classic single-blade razor as old-fashioned, even potentially anachronistic. In truth, however, these are the razors you grow into, not out of. The number one cause of shaving rash is heavy handedly dragging a blade multiple times over the same patch of skin because you didn't get it right in the first stroke. Those multi-bladed razors were all designed to do exactly that, to allow multiple passes of blades in a single stroke - each blade after the first increasing the stress and abrasion to the skin. Furthermore, all those spring-bladed, plastic headed multi-blades allow an unskilled shaver to get the job done - without learning to shave lightly. Those multi-blade razors actually encourage going heavy-handed, and causing additional skin damage and shaving sensitivity. A classic, single-blade razor, such as this Wilkinson Sword Classic, is actually one of the best shaving tools ever designed and made. It takes a little practice to learn the perfect angle to hold to the skin, and you can nick yourself with the blade if you are careless enough, for certain. But a little practice and you'll get a good, close shave every time with the least possible damage to the skin, and the least shaving rash of your life. Moreover, you'll save an absolute fortune in blades, and for the environmentally conscious, the blades you discard can be fully recycled as they are pure metal, easily melted down and reused. This razor features a cool 'butterfly' mechanism for loading and unloading the blades, where you simply twist the base of the handle and the top opens up to allow very quick, safe changing of blades (you should always handle the blades carefully of course, by the safe edges, not the 'live' edges). Quick and easy, and very practical. For the best results from a razor like this, I do recommend getting a proper shaving brush to lather up as this both lifts the hairs and helps hold them more rigid so that one stroke with the razor gets a good smooth result. Highly recommended for those men ready to learn to shave properly, or those who dislike shaving rash.

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.

The Wilkinson Sword Double Edge Razor is a fantastic tool for men who appreciate the art of traditional wet shaving. Its barber-style design feels solid and well-balanced in hand, making it easy to achieve a precise and close shave. The double-edge blades are sharp and durable, gliding smoothly for a comfortable experience with minimal irritation. It’s also cost-effective compared to disposable razors, and the classic styling adds a touch of sophistication to your grooming routine. If you're looking to elevate your shaving game, this razor is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for both beginners and seasoned wet shavers!
