I saw some Wilk Swords on the bay and thought there was a possibility they might be the English made ones but that wasn't to be. I'd not used a German one since I started my DE shaving journey, and didn't take to them with much enthusiasm back then so thought it would be good to test one now my technique is far better and from today's encounter the experience wasn't a great one.
The blade itself was a very good and smooth one in the shave, I managed to get close shave and comfortable too aside from one thing - I managed to pick up quite a bit of irritation after the 1st pass and my face is still burning a few hours after the shave. I have a good suspicion that my face reacted badly to the blade's coating, something which is quite rare (only happened with one or two blades before) but there's no other component of the shave which my face could have reacted to.
Anyway gents, I hope you have a good Sunday.
