Recently received my Weishi 9306, which I believe is the same head used by the Wilkinson Sword Classic. I was pleasantly suprised. I like the razor, it shaves well, providing an easy, close, comfortable shave with an intuitive shave angle. It is more efficient than the Gillette Super Speed, and the Baili BD179, about on-par with a Karve C/D, in terms of efficiency, but with more blade feel. The Weishi can be had with several different handle styles, handle lengths and colours (with or without the Weishi logo), including the same handle style as the Wilkinson Sword for about GBP £10 delivered off AliExpress (why have a Weishi rebranded as a Wilkinson Sword Classic, when you can have the original ). The Weishi appears well constructed, tolerances are tight and the plating is flawless. I am not sure what the razor is made from, copper alloy and/or brass alloy, I have read on some forums. I can confirm, as others have reported, the only part of the razor that attracts a magnet is the TTO knob - not sure if that means anything though. The handle knurling is excellent; the blade is held securely; blade alighnment is accurate and the razor is well balanced with well judged weighting. The razor deserves to be more popular, in this part of the world. All in all, a very good, medium aggressive, shaver, for not very much money. The Wilkinson Sword rebranding (albeit with a significant price increase) of Weishi's excellent, quality, inexpensive TTO razor, was a smart move.

Excellent, detailed reviews of the razor, were undertaken by the MadScientist in 2016 (which is still up on You Tube as at Apr'22) and more recently, over at Paste & Cut, which prompted my own purchase. I have to say, both were spot-on, in their observations.
