So,
here is my Wilkinson Razor Empire Model, a Christmas present from my lovely wife.
It's in fantastic condition - it came with a new unopened blade (the one that was already in the razor was in poor shape) and even the strop is in usable condition!

Now, I'm not one to let something sit on the shelf to gather dust if there's a chance it can be used so I cracked open the new blade, cleaned it all up, stropped and took it for a whirl! It shaves really well - there was a bit of experimentation needed with the adjustable blade and I found it difficult to get the correct angle around the chin but it was my first attempt with an SE.
Can anyone help me out? I would like to know more about these razors: their history, other users opinions etc. even tips for use.
Many thanks
