Thnx for the review .Used these first time last week and to me very temarkable , the best ever used in my history .The blades are a good combo of comfort and sharpness to me

[@1989dipankar]

In India, we get these 100blades pack in less than $3 from grocery stores. Brilliant blades.

[@MarkSzorady]

Hi, DIPANKAR JOSHI. Wow!:) I'd love to have that price!:)

[@1989dipankar]

@@MarkSzorady it's the same thing with voskhod blades over here. I know how much you respect them 😊

[@MarkSzorady]

@@1989dipankar Thank you.:)

[@bobpfaff2258]

Here in Australia I ordered some from India last week, 200 for AUD20 or equivalent around USD15 including postage (notionally $Nil). A lot of the cost is postage which is fair enough. I have bought them before and find them very good. I also only use any blade 2, maximum 3 times so paying for a longer lasting blade is irrelevant. A take away coffee here is AUD4, or equivalent 40 blades - puts it into perspective. Stay safe.

[@MarkSzorady]

@@bobpfaff2258 I'm with you on blade use. 2 to 3 shaves, then I toss. Only blade that has really lasted for me is the Vikings Blade Mild. those I'll use for 5 or 6 shaves, easy.

[@makeupyourmindinator]

I watch a couple of shaving KZbinrs and it’s interesting to see everybody’s different technique and style of shaving.

[@MarkSzorady]

As my wet shaving journey has continued, my technique may have change up a bit. Only because I've learned a lot from viewers and tried different things/approaches, they've suggested. :)

[@MAThomas0912]

Mark Szorady, thanks for your reviews and enthusiasm! About a month into my new found hobby and really enjoy watching videos from you and others! Best

[@MarkSzorady]

Michael, my pleasure! Thanks for the kind words!:) Glad to hear you're embracing the wet shave!:) As they say, "if your morning shave isn't the best part of your day, you're doing it wrong.:)

I'm a long time feather user, but I just bought this just to try on for the 1st time. See how it goes when it gets here. Thanx for your review.

[@MarkSzorady]

Thanks, tatsu masa.:) I'd be interested in hearing how they worked for you.:) I'm actually starting to use Feathers a bit more.:) Reviews of these shaves coming.

[@fdevlin5932]

How’d they compare to the feather?

[@leiturass.a]

Wowwww Mark such a great shave. Iam Very excited to get Mine Gillete Wilkson blades that I ordered from E-bay. Greatings from Brazil 😁. La toja and Proraso were my first shaving brands but know I make my own shaving soap, Debussy. It's a homage because I like classsical music and I used Pollo blue essence in this soap.

[@markdavid3076]

I use these blades very often. Somehow I feel I get an all-around better shave than when using the Feather blade. I use an Edwin Jagger DE89.

[@MarkSzorady]

I like these a lot. Not to be confused with the Wilkinson made in Germany Somehow, these (made in India, as I recall) have a nice sharpness, but are bit more tamed.:)

[@markdavid3076]

@@MarkSzorady Yeah I feel these are sharper and smoother than the ones that come from Germany.

[@chris34668]

Found this by chance and watching it one year exactly from when it was made.

[@MarkSzorady]

Very neat!:) A year!:) Wow!:) Seems like only a month ago that I got those blades!:) Thanks!:)

[@rutkowsky1000]

hi mark john here just bought some of those gillette wilkinson sword blades to try think they will be good

John, yes, these are made in India. I find them to be quite sharp delivering a nice, clean shave.

Hi Mark- Nice shave and blade review; thank you! Have a great start to the week and all the best!

[@MarkSzorady]

Thank you , Mike. Thanks for tuning in.:)

[@jerryg7391]

How long does a shaving stick lasts? I'm asking because I never used one before..

[@MarkSzorady]

I cannot really say because I don't use it every day. I may use it every other day or every third day, etc.. I change up all my soaps and creams.:) That's part of the fun and attraction of doing the wet shave.:) Plus, I have some other shaving sticks I use (Arko, Palmolive, etc.) Anyhow, a lot is going to depend on your skin and beard. But if I were to guess, I'd say at least a month and half, maybe two...maybe longer. As you use it, you get a feel as to how much to use. You can fine tune the amount for your shave. If you want to try an affordable shaving stick, then give Arko a try. amzn.to/2ToNmev A two pack is less than six bucks.:) Some folks don't care for the scent. Think Ivory soap, but a little stronger. I like the scent and it makes heaps of lather.:) La Toja has a fragrance you may prefer, though. Plus, it's not much more expensive for a three pack: amzn.to/2Wz1tju

[@timwittkopp8031]

I just bought some from Amazon. Should be in by Tuesday.

[@MarkSzorady]

Tim, enjoy and let us know how they work for you.:)

[@timwittkopp8031]

Sure will Mark.

Just got me a Pearl SSH-01 (came with open & closed combs) & it came with these blades. Gonna try em out 2morro.

[@MarkSzorady]

Is this the same razor? kzbin.info/www/bejne/joLKompsd8mEfpI

[@louisleoncini9240]

Mark. IMO best 6 cent blade you can get . Wilkinson from Germany cost me at the drug store 1.42 that's with tax pack of 5 about 28 cents apiece . For me I only use a blade twice face an head shave. I always keep a stock of 4000. last time I bought them cost 240.00 for 4000 , they are really the only blade I use, I do use some others but for the price how can you go wrong. Have a great week.

[@MarkSzorady]

German Wilkinson Sword for .06 a blade? Well done!:)

[@thelion43]

Mark Szorady No mark the gillette wilkinson sword blades bought for 6 cents a blade the german Wilkinson swords are 28 cents a blade but you knew that

[@MarkSzorady]

Ian.M thanks.:). Yes, this is what I meant.:) Sorry for the confusion.:) I have a few German Wilkinson Sword blades, but I keep going to the Gillette Wilkinson Sword.:) They really are a terrific blade!:) 4,000?! Excellent!:) I only bought 100, but I may get more.:)

[@ceejaydeesoozaa]

ive tried "seagull brand" chinese made from aliexpress. really rough and ineffective shave. also tried dorco's from ali. much better than the seagulls. then went to ebay and saw a few sellers from india selling topaz and these swords. decided on the swords after seeing a few vids incl yours on youtube featuring the swords

[@MarkSzorady]

Glad you found the video and are giving them a try.:) Please let us know how they work out for you.:)

yes ill drop a comment once the wilks have arrived. thanks mark
