Really good find mate, was that the only one?I saw this Wilkinson Sword razor marked down in Tesco, Carlton, Nottingham its only £3.75. They may be reduced elsewhere as well. View attachment 75836
Yes it was the last one left but I didn’t need it so left it for someone else to make use of, came with 5 blades as well.Really good find mate, was that the only one?
I've never really gone out my way looking for this de razor in particular but I think the cheapest I've seen it is about a tenner, so that's a steal tbh
Nice gesture mateYes it was the last one left but I didn’t need it so left it for someone else to make use of, came with 5 blades as well.
That is a good price ! They’re quite well made I’d say (for the razor in that price bracket / usually around £15-£20 I think)! I actually started out my wetshaving journey with this one - it was included in some starter kit with soap and brush!I saw this Wilkinson Sword razor marked down in Tesco, Carlton, Nottingham its only £3.75.

Don’t have comparison to the one in yellow packet - but they are a smooth and mild shaver! Would have to try again to judge on efficiency since it’s been around half a year since I’ve tried it last!The black one in the yellow packet is what Gordy gave me. Lovely mild shave, really opened my eyes to DE (and made me rush off and buy a ball end Tech so I had something to compare it with). Looks nice in all metal, and that's a silly clearance price! I wonder if they shave the same as the yellow packet ones?
Treet (brand name as part of ASR/Personna as opposed to Treet Group of Pakistan), Schick and Wilkinson Sword are all under the same umbrella - Edgewell Personal Care.The plastic classic is a great razor - love mine and rate it much higher than my Feather Popular for a fast, safe, DE travel razor.
I seem to recall seeing it on another forum in the past branded Treet, who I understand are the original manufacturer?
I seem to have two versions of the Classic, one very much like the Lord above but with a plastic cap and one like you see if you google the Classic with a metal bar in the handle, addressing the long-standing criticism of its lightness. I'll get some snaps later on ...
