Wilkinson Sword Classic DE Razor

It's my first purchase in a while! I fancied it when it first came out, but was still staying loyal to my purchase sabbatical, but this weekend just gone I gave in and grabbed one. On offer too no less, down from £15 to £12 in Tesco.

First impressions show it to be well built, the mechanism sturdy and stable, holding the blade securely. The finish is good, and the shave very good. It errs on the mild side, and when combined with the included Wilkinson Sword blades, gave a close and smooth shave after two passes. Not a single drop of claret was spilled in the name of this review. So far so good, will update with the final thoughts this weekend coming.


 
Nice review Nick, I am sure lots of us started out with the black plastic version many moons ago but this looks much nicer. £12 is very decent but, given the convenience of being able to buy locally, £15 seems like a good starter razor.

I actually think the plastic one is truly superb. Like others it was the first razor I bought/used, but a few years after improving my technique and returning to the plastic Wilko I was really impressed with how smooth and efficient it is, if anything a touch more aggressive than I expected.

Good review though Nick, hope you continuing to enjoy your new razor.

Also, IMO it's great to see a new DE razor in the high street.
