I’m a senior who stumbled across your videos while having a rough recovery from double knee replacements. You really succeeded in making me smile. It’s truly inspiring to see someone who successfully reinvented their life and really enjoys what their doing. Shaving has become a relaxing therapy for me. My dad taught me how to do it when I was in high school and I still use the Gillette adjustable that he bought me along with his old Super Speed. You found a new fan and customer. Stay safe and God bless through all this craziness.

I’ve been using this razor for more than ten years with German blades from Walmart. Recently I decided to upgrade and went for the emblematic Merkur 34c which came with one Merkur blade which I used. Couldn’t wait for my beard to grow and give it a try. Well, being used to the Wilkinson and the blades I mentioned, I was totally disappointed by the poor performance of the Merkur. Now, my beard is exceptionally tough and I read that the Merkur blades a not that good, might be the blade, but still from everything that I’ve heard for the Merkur, I really expected big difference. Instead I was totally disappointed! I switched the Merkur blade to the Wilkinson and the Wilkinson did a better job with the closeness, but still far from the Walmart blades. Usually with two shaves I am done and now I had to go over and over again. I purchased a whole set of different blades and am planning to try them with the Merkur and the Wilkinson to see the difference. Maybe the Merkur aggressiveness is not suitable for the toughness of my beard, I don’t know, but the blades are garbage definitely !

Get Feather blades. I know, I know, so many people whine about how sharp Feather blades are; you're shaving, the blade should be sharp. I have the cheap Pawn Stars DE which was my first razor of this type. It is a mild daily shaver with Feather blades. But takes three passes (with, across, and against the grain) even with a Feather blade. I feel like I almost need to push on my face, so I use this to shave my scalp where both the skin and stubble are softer. The Feather blades last up to eight or more shaves because they start out sharp, and hold a good edge longer than others I've tried. My mother-in-law gave me a Pomco Co Slant from my father-in-law's (RIP) razors. This is an aggressive shave. With a Feather blade and a lite touch, this is a one pass per multiple day shaver. I get around six shaves with this setup per blade, but my whiskers are really course, and hard on the blade. But I generally only shave once or twice a week. To put the Feather usage in perspective, I bought a sleeve of 100 (20 x 5 packs) cousin in on two years ago, I have five packs left. Get the right blade and shaved less often. Your face will thank you for it. Other blades I've tried are two to three shaves each, and the last one is usually starting to get painful. Also, I don't remove the blade as some KZbinrs do, but I do loosen the tension by half way unscrewing the handle and head. This also allows a better rinse and everything too dry quickly.

You either love them or hate them. Most people don't like them, but I can get a very smooth shave with them

Thanks David, go back and give them a second chance. Sometimes it gets way better the second time around.

@@geofatboy what I'm thinking lately is they're excellent blades, but some of the worst beginner blades out there. The fact that so many people started their wet shaving journey with them gave the brand a bad rep. Good thing I only found them out later.

@@darkgladiator27 Absolutely correct. They are great blades, but you have to have decent technique to use them or you get rash or nicks.

Hi geofatboy. I have wilkinson sword classic and i know it's budget razor but.. in my case under cover is small area which ends plastic sharp edge. When i shaved mustache and beard area i little bit cut myself. Beside this the skin is shaved pretty well. To others... be careful when you want to get this razor.

This is a very good razor to start DE wetshaving with. It was my first safety razor and i'd recomend it to everyone for getting into wetshaving .

I don't think mild razors like this one or the Feather Popular are necessarily good introductions, though I get the thinking. They actually turned me off wet shaving for years because I have thick facial hairs and it either left too much stubble or I had weepers all over trying to go against the grain. It was only when I tried an aggressive razor with a Kai blade on top of it that I actually enjoyed double edge razors.

Just got a couple of these in the UK for £3.70 each. What's that $4.50 US? Perfect for travel, if you lose it, it's no big deal.
