The current Store Wilkos may have been called Wilkinson’s, but not to be confused with Steel firm Wilkinson who make top quality Tools, razor blades and also Shaving. Brushes.Im pretty sure it used to be called Wilkinsons back in the day.
I guess you must be too young to remember it!
It was never afflilited to to Wilkinson Sword.
i saw theres only synthetic wilkinson sword brushes at wilkos now no boars at all, hence why i was asking and i suppose im speculating if theyre getting rid of the boar brushes now?The current Store Wilkos may have been called Wilkinson’s, but not to be confused with Steel firm Wilkinson who make top quality Tools, razor blades and also Shaving.

Wilkos in their grooming section sell The Wilkinson sword brush and their own cheap Wilco brush.
Does it really matter, as you can easily avoid mistakenly getting a boar brush as The World is awash with the likes of Yaqi synthetic brushes. As a head Shaver you may should be looking out for a 28mm dia brush.i saw theres only synthetic wilkinson sword brushes at wilkos now no boars at all, hence why i was asking and i suppose im speculating if theyre getting rid of the boar brushes now?

Stop looking round for bargains, and establish a small stock of dependable hard ware Razors and Brushes, software soaps and other bits and bobs you might use.
I cannot talk really as I have far too many Razors ( mainly Vintage Se/ Injectors and AC/SE), plus soap and after Shaves that I will never get through as I am nearly 82!!
Not too sure that Gem Razors good for Head Shaves. Would seek advice before you go down that route.more curious then anything and yea ive got a few yaqi synthetic brushes which are really nice

Yea you and @mpf9ret are right quality over quantity and I appreciate your honestyI'd echo this @saj1985 ... while there are indeed some bargain priced shaving things that can be had for a pittance, they're well talked about and anything that isn't probably isn't any good. I'm thinking of things like classic splashes, things like classic soap sticks. But, when it comes to brushes, cheap brushes really are just cheap.
You're starting to build a quite solid bits of kit and a good base for a collection. I'd err on the side of quality now, having had a good dabble in the bargain bins.
The WS boar brush is the only brush I've had to bin because of the knot getting knotted up.

thanks for the infoI think they are exactly the same razor.
When the Wilkinson Sword metal DE first came out in 2018, the handle shown on the packaging was different to what was actually inside the carton. This is reflected in the advert that you linked, which shows a different handle in picture 1 to the other pictures.
I bought one at the time and that razor has 3 knurled sections at the end of the handle, same as the other example you show that is branded as "Barber's Style" and "The Edger", so i think that WS have simply changed the incorrect packaging since then .
Its actually a Wilkinson Sword branded Chinese Weishi 9306-P.
Half decent quality finish and plating, mild to medium shave.
