Introduction to the New Wilkinson Sword Quad Razor.

Possible company goal is compete with or give an alternative to multiblade disposables or multiblade cartridges. A benefit for either typical cartridge/disposable users or d.e. users is be able to do a more efficient one-pass shave.

[@417Graphix]

Is there a benefit to these types of blades as opposed to regular DE blades?

[@matthewhoward4549]

I could not agree more! Either use a DE or use an overpriced cartridge setup but do not fall for gimmicks from the big names in the industry. Have I seen multiple people find the right blade for them to use in the DE razor of their choice? Yes. Do they get a great shave with that combo? Yes. I am using a Merkur vintage 1970s right now with Feather blades ... does this combo work on both my face and then my head? Yes. One shave per blade and I throw it. Can anyone say "if it is not broken then do not fix it?" I understand Ken needs content (reviews) but I would not own the Wilkinson Sword razor if they paid me to use it and also supplied the blades for free!

[@bourbon646]

@@matthewhoward4549 1 shave in a feather blade. That's wastage of a feather blade. People who shave daily use the feathers for atleast 5 or 6 times. That's standard. Some people use it upto 10 shaves.

Here is the Feather blade after just 2x shaves through real beard hair ... www.refinedshave.com/razor-blade-sharpness-testing/ I know when a blade is as blunt as fuck son!

@@matthewhoward4549 No, you don't need others to tell you what you already know about blades. Problem seems to be that you don't actually know very much. Which other brands, apart from Feather, have you tried? Perhaps, if you have such a thick and coarse beard, you should at least shave with a straight razor. Or perhaps a chain saw!

I bought one of these after watching your review and I'm real happy with it. Gives a great shave. Since Ive gone from the cartridge shavers to safety razors I have noticed that shaving is a lot more enjoyable and not just a chore. Having more than one shaver gives you a little variety so even though this Wilkinson quad razor won't be what I use every day I will use it on occasion to have some variety in shaving. Seems to work for you guys making the video's, why not for those of us watching them.

Great review, very interesting. Of course I think the main part of a cartridge system is the pivoting head that makes the shave easier, which is why I would say this is really a DE variant rather than a Hubrid, but the Leaf would be more of a hybrid razor as it uses the best of both worlds.

I've had a few shaves with this razor, and personally, it's not bad. I just don't like the proprietary blade thing. Besides that. I like it. Especially the heft!!!! The blades apparently last a long while too. My friend has gotten 12 shaves out of one "cartridge". Have a great day!!!!

Very good to hear. The blade price is not ridiculous either but the ability to use your own DE Blades would be great.

@@kensurfs yes very true. I bought the refills back in July on Amazon for $6 for 5 blades, so I bought 4 packs just in case. Right now they are there for $6.30 for a 5 pack. If they had the Leaf system attachment, this razor would be a gold mine waiting to happen. No doubt.

Great review Ken, certainly looks like a decent made razor. I'd be surprised if an adaptor would be made available, I think this product is to lever more cash out of the DE market via the proprietory blades.

Hey Ken. There is always someone out there trying to reinvent the wheel. It might be ok for the newbey. The older wet shavers are to tough to get to change. Wilkinson seems to have always been late to the party trying to convert shavers to their razors. Same goes with Shock. Nice shave today.

Hello Kensurfs, love your reviews/videos, Sir. This seems like a deliberate attempt by Wilkinson Sword to compete with the Leaf razor, (which oddly resembles a cartridge razor fused with a slingshot). I use Wilkinson Sword blades regularly, so I will refrain from judgmental thinking. The folks at West Coast Shaving might be pissed though, because it DOES resemble their Lithe razor head.

I would like it more if you could add double edge blades in this Wilkinson razor handle that would be awesome I don’t like that it takes proprietary blades that are expensive. Thanks again Vic

Why could they not just design a nice new DE? That would sell to DE enthusiasts.

I agree! Wilkinson sword, motto "The name on the worlds finest blades". I think they should not mess about with gimmicks but make a quality razor, maybe stainless, with an original type of head. Not roll out another jazzy handle with a standard R89 head but something similar to what Edwin jagger did with their 3one6. I love that razor!! The Wilkinson classic butterfly was bloody awful!! And from a company that once produced the famous Fairbairn Sykes British Commando knife. Wilkinsons went out of business but somebody is using the Wilkinson name now and it would be nice if they could make that a name, once again, to be proud of. If they brought out a quality razor with a good head design that's not way out there, I would certainly buy it. I imagine all the other razor collectors would too. Dave.

To me this razor is not a hybrid, but a variation on the high plastic cartridge/packaging theme and this is direct competition to carts not DE shaving.

Does the (synthetic) Kensurfs 2020 Limited Edition brush have a lot of backbone like a boar or is it somewhere between boar and badger?

Serious understatement about in the tall grass being weird. The story went full alabama mode. If it's intent was to freak me out and make me uncomfortable, mission accomplished. As for the razor it super redundant. I'd recommend any newbies reading this get the feather popular razor. Last I saw it was only 18 dollars and came with a five pack of feather blades. It's super mild and user friendly; also very unlikely you can cut yourself with it. Wilkinson sword could have made a nice twist to open razor instead, and I would have bought it.

Interesting video, great job presenting it. I had been using 5 blade cart razors for years and then decided to try a DE razor I from Van Der Hagen with blades. I've been using it for about 3 months and I have issues. First it doesn't shave as close as the 5 blade jobs; and second, I'm always nicking myself whereas with the 5 blade jobs I never do. So, is the Van Der Hagen razor cheap quality and thus the nicks and failure to shave close? Or is DE all about nicking oneself? LOL!! I watched several of your videos but I can't determine from them which is the best razor in your opinion, can you enlighten me on what is the best razor and how to prevent nicking? The Quad Razor is interesting but I'm afraid if they sell well, I may not find the blades if they stop making the razor. Thanks. Oh, and I did subscribe to your channel.

It seems to do the same as a cartridge. Granted that each replacement part is a lot cheaper than a Gillette Fusion ProShield, and has less throwaway plastic, it is only a little less expensive than a Harry's cartridge or a Gillette SkinGuard. As a devotee of hysterisis, I cannot see how the extra cost of the handle, without a pivot, can be amortized against the savings on the cost of replacement parts (blades/cartridges/?). Now, if they made a triple-layer and made the head an omni-directional pivot, then they might have a good thing ...

Always better to add water as needed rather than starting with too wet of a brush. 🙂

It looks like another way for a manufacturer to lock out their competition. Thanks for the interesting video, but I don’t see me using it.

Nothing to do for me. The design is very attractive but that razor here in Canada cost $29.99 and three pack refill $17.97... I will stay for sure attached to my RazoRock GameChanger .84 for ever!

Hello,I have questions can I use with normal blages this wilkinson

[@bronzedragon18]

A better solution is the Saiver T-razor which is the same concept but uses regular DE blades. Plus it's much cheaper.!
