Classic Men's Razor with 5 Razor Blades

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.

So I'm an experienced wet shaver for around 6 years so I have different razors and different types (De, Se, injector, shavette, gem) and tried many more. My intention with this razor is not to use regularly but strictly mostly as a travel razor. I will update this review after my first few shaves. I knew beforehand this was a plastic razor so I had low expectations and low standards for build quality. Gladly I'm impressed by it. So yes it's mostly plastic however the plastic isn't cheap and there are a a metal weight in the handle. More so the razor base plate feels ceramic or metal. I have played with it a bit and I'm happy with the mechanical workings and how easy and safe it is to load and unload a blade and how simple it is to open and close. All you need to do is hold the handle below the base plate and turn the bottom of the handle and twist. The cap will release or screw down in the same manner. All you do is put the blade on the base plate, loosely place the top cap on and twist the handle and it will lock down the top cap. It has a good weight I will say I was expecting a super light razor like the paa plastic slant razors I have. It is heavier than those and has a good long handle as well. Since I have not used I yet I can't comment on the blades yet but, I have used the Wilkinson blades before (saloon pack) and I do enjoy those. I do suspect that for close shaved you would need sharper blades like a feather, kai, or Perma sharps.

Very good beginner razor, very hard to cut self unless you really angle and push the blade wrong if you want that baby smooth face or just hate facial hate and shaving like i do, do this, one shave lasts a few days before getting back to prickly, double edged razors is where it's at and this is a cheap and good way to get into it. if you move onto another more nicer premium razor you could throw this in a bag or in the shower for body hair.

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.

I've been struggling with shavers for most of my adult life. Disposable ones are sharp for a short amount of time and then you have to deal with the plastic waste, razor companies that sell the replacement heads are convenient until you look at the price per head, and again, they become dull very quickly. I'm kicking myself for not discovering these kinds of shavers earlier. Less guilt about waste, and the blades are so cheap! I especially like this shaver. It's lightweight, the angle of the blade is perfect, and the price is great for buying two (one for home and one for travel). I'm a woman, so I use these to shave my legs, and the angle and size is great for getting the hard to reach areas around the ankles (if you know, you know!) The blades are very easy to change out as well. Highly recommend! I even got my daughter to buy one and she loves it too.

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!

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 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

Tasarımı iyi, burun altı kısma rahatça giriyor. Kontrolü de iyi. İlk geleneksel traş deneyimim için tercih ettim. Sadece 1 kesikle ilk traşı atlattım, üstelik Astra jilet kullandım. Çok da zor değilmiş. Banyodan çıkınca traş olmak (sakallar yumuşuyor) ve traş kremini iyice köpürtmek dolayısıyla kayganlığı arttırmak tahrişi aza indirgemek için elzem. Bu traşı olmak insana daha erkek hissettiriyor. Kıl dönmelerim nedeniyle oluşan sivilceleri ekstra bir serum da kullanarak yok etmek niyetindeyim. Benzer niyetle olanlara sakalı sinekkaydı kesmek yerine cilt seviyesinin üzerinde kalacak ama yeterince temiz görünüm olacak kadar kesmelerini tavsiye ederim.

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.

Worst product. Wat of my money to purchase this one. Blades are not sharp. And the plastic razor is not finished properly. It is injured to my bears also.
