I’m only 19 and i’ve been using cartridge razors… Today is the day I finally made the step and ordered myself one of these safety razors (the exact same one from the video) I can’t lie, I never would’ve thought some guy making videos in the bathroom about shaving would be so interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work I love these videos you seem like a very wholesome guy!

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks for such a nice comment! Please let me know how you like shaving with your safety razor once you get it.

[@bloodwhale]

@@SinatraLennon Hi, I got to test it out today as Amazoned got it to me quick. I noticed the difference instantly never going back to those nasty cartridges. From what I've heard feather blades are the best? I think I'll buy some of those to test out later, althought I still need a good brush and soap since I'm still using foam right now. Do you recommend anything good I'd say I have sensetive skin too If that factors in anything? Thank you for the reply!

I've never enjoyed shaving and recently had the somewhat obvious revelation that if I'm not enjoying something I should change how I do it so figured I'd dump cartridges and pick up a safety razor (also the amount of waste from cartridges has always bugged me). Stumbled on this video while looking for reviews of the Wilkinson Sword and decided to pick one up. I used it today and the difference is amazing, not just the results but the process too. I've ever touched my own face this much, it's so smooth. I don't know if I would have pulled the trigger if it wasn't for your review so thank you.

I finally got this Wilkinson Sword Classic Safety Razor. German Amazon is pretty expensive (€18,99), so I didn't want to get it there. I was in Luxembourg and they had this one cheaper than German Amazon (€15,99), so I got it there. Later I was in Trier and Müller had it for €9,99, bad luck. I only got Nivea sensitive sking after shave balm there. You made me want to shave with brush, soap and safety razor. Because I got the brush (Wilkinson Sword badger) and the stick soap by Palmolive on friday, I wanted to use it right away, but I didn't have the safety razor yet, so I used my Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5, which works fine with gel, but it was very pleasing with the shaving soap. Actually, the soap-foam I squeezed from the new brush was kind of brownish, so I guess you have to clean the brush really good before the first use. (What's that called in English? Lathering?) I normally shave only once or twice a week, but I couldn't wait to use the soap, brush and safety razor, so I shaved this morning without showering before the shave. I normally shave before the shower, maybe I'm gonna change this. And I have to say, to me the Wilkinson Sword classic safety razor felt very, very mild. But I need practice in shaving with a safety razor, the result was maybe a bit okay, not good. I used the Wilkinson Sword plastic safety razor ages ago, when I was young. And I think the chrome part in the barrel is only chrome plated plastic or plastic made to look like chrome plated.

[@chris_cloud]

I bought this setup (razor+blades and their soap) as a first safety razor about a month ago and I gotta say, it gives a nice shave. Before that I gave up on cartridge razors (ok refults and some ingrown hair) and for a long time used just my beard trimmer to keep my neck and cheeks more-or-less tidy and was smooth shaven only after a visit in barber shop. I really like the weight and handle length of that razor. I only with the grip would be more agressive because with the current design it sometimes twists slightly in my hands and I have to grip it harder than I'd like to. Overall it feels sturdy and I'm very happy with the results and I'm glad I entered the world of safety razors. I'm glad I found You to get more comfortable with the idea of using safety razors and learn a thing or two about the process. Almost every shave comes out better than the last one, and I really enjoy the learning process! I'm also buying a shavette soon to check out that way of shaving. They do require waaaay more skill and are more dargerous (referencing Your shavette video featuring the 'nasty' cut) but I'd like to get better idea where the blade is when I'm contouring my beard - to get the clean and professional look as You get when walking out of a barber shop ;) P.S. Alumn blocks/sticks are incredible!

I started DE shaving with this Wilkinson sword shaving set! I agree with you that the razor is good quality but quite mild and the blades are good if a little rough for my liking. I have sinced moved on however and no longer using the wilkinson sword soap which in my opinion was terrible once I knew of better soaps and the brush which fell apart after 6 months. I still have the razor, if your considering buying the set then just get the razor and forget the rest.

[@SinatraLennon]

Sounds like good advice and I agree with you. It’s not bad for a starter but then guys will most likely move on to better stuff once they’re bit by the bug.

[@SinatraLennon]

Guess you’re right! It doesn’t have to be fancy.

[@DellaStreet123]

Let me help refresh your memory. You liked the plastic Wilkinson Classic. Certainly more than I did, because I threw mine into the trash. When an environmentalist throws something into the trash, something is definitely wrong. However, there are two positive things I can say about the WC razor: 1. The two-piece design makes it easier to load for people who never handled DE blades before. 2. The left and right side of the razor lock into place and don't allow any blade ends to stick out. Many people who are new to DE razors hate it when the blunt sides of the blade stick out as well, which is the case in 9 out of 10 DE razors. Also, the sides of the WC are rounded, which makes it virtually impossible to poke yourself somewhere. Now, as far as the products you showed are concerned: The Wilkinson Butterfly razor is seasonally available in two major drugstore chains in Germany. Not year round, but once in a while you can see them in the shaving aisle. It is also part of one of the Christmas gift sets they sell in the holiday season. Both gift sets include a dark brown bowl of shaving soap (you can buy Wilkinson shave soap year round, but in a blue bowl), badger brush with a dark brown imitation wood handle (the regular Wilkinson shaving brush is a boar with a blue plastic handle and painted on "badger" stripe) and a razor. Depending on which one you buy, you either get the Wilkinson Butterfly DE razor or a Quattro with dark-brown imitation wood handle. Now, as far as the shaving soap is concerned: I wouldn't recommend to use it with a natural hair brush and never, ever with a badger. The reason for this is that it contains a silicone oil that creates a film around each hair and, in the case of natural hair, penetrates it. Some people have been able to save their badger with repeated soaking and washing with hair shampoo (beware: hair shampoo can contain silicone oils, too!), but many had to cope with the fact that their brush was ruined. The silicone issue isn't limited to cheap shaving soaps/creams like Wilkinson, Nivea and Florena. The Body Shop's "Maca Root" shaving cream is loaded with dimethicone as well, as are virtually all of their creams.

[@SinatraLennon]

Now you’ve got me freaked out over the silicon! Good thing I prefer my synthetics, huh? Thanks for another great bunch of insight and info, and for refreshing my memory on my own opinion. I really should watch back at a video or two of my own.

This is my razor, it happened to be the only one in the supermarket when I decided to switch to a safety razor. I like it, and as you say, at the price point you can't go wrong.

Today you decided to do a shaved English (Blades, soap and safety razor Wilkinson sword) is a very good safety reason for butterfly opening and the price is decent, personally I would choose the Parker 99r also is butterfly opening and gives you a shave more aggressive well that is my opinion, the important thing is the variety of products and information greetings.

[@addison99996]

I just got back into double edge razor, my first was a Parker back in the day. As a woman I use shave my legs, etc. I bought this same Wilkinson razor at my local Walmart. It included 5 Wilkinson blades. I soon discovered the swirl on the handle makes my hand slide down when wet, and causes the twist mechanism to slide in the unlock position, allowing the butterfly to open. This causes the blade to come loose, and cuts are inevitable. I see in your video you choke up on the head on the razor. Get your hands and the razor wet, and you will find slipping down the handle an issue. I stopped using it. I bought an Assured DE from the Dollar Tree. It is a short handle, and works better for me. I am using Dorco blades. One blade lasts me over a month. I am looking at a better option, looking at the Shiewei, or other long handle, Twist to Open optionn. Am not really interested in the 3 piece razors. Nice video, btw.

[@SinatraLennon]

That’s great Mark! Glad I could help in some small way.

Great vid, and the British accent is spot on.

[@ArchonSG1]

That's the newer "Black" tubs, the older Blue tubs were much better, giving a richer lather that doesn't dissipate as fast as the Black Tubs. I'd use PAA's Cube preshave with it though, just to give it that extra slickness (and holy crap do the cubes do that) and glide. Great shave BTW. Also, grind in menthol! Seriously. That citrus barbershop scent works great with menthol.

[@SinatraLennon]

Heck, grinding or dripping menthol into anything makes it that much better. I enjoy it on my french fries!

I recall my grandfather having a DE Wilkinson razor, I think my dad gave it away after he passed away. So 15 minutes ago, placed an order for a Wilkinson DE butterfly razor.

[@SinatraLennon]

Let me know how it shaves!

[@leotaylor262]

Terrible British accent? That was awesome, mate . I'm 18 and have been using a straight razor for 2 years I use a Wilkinson sword brush and the same soap you used in this video, I also use the same blades in my straight razor. Your videos are so easy watch, I tend to put them on in background when I'm shaving actually 😂

[@throgrimason8187]

I don't understand how this guy can captivate me I have my own beard to shave maybe it's his voice

[@samat5367]

Safety razor changed my daily routine more carrying about my skin 😊

[@natkobratko3198]

i have 2 options: King C or Wilkinson premium collection? im 17 and just a begginer need something that will not cut my neck...? what do u recommend? also i dont have many blade options so i will porbably just use the "stock" ones.

[@generalpatzer6893]

Thanks for the video. I just got the exact same model and I am new to wet shaving and I find it to be pretty good for me. No cuts or nicks. I like the blades that came with it but I can't wait to try some other blades.

Hey SL, if you are familiar with them, Loves truck stops have a section with shaving products and various manly things. I’m a truck driver and frequent them quite often. They sell straight razors, brushes, some fancy looking cartridge razors, a mentholated after shave balm and a bunch of other stuff. It not in the C-Store section but on the trucking supply side. If your ever in need of stuff for the channel you should check it out. There’s a few locations off I-10 near Austin.

[@SinatraLennon]

Sure, very familiar with Love’s. I’ll have to check it out the next time I’m headed down to San Antonio. Thanks for the heads up and keep on truckin’!

[@ryanhill7318]

Thanks for the video! I might pick this up after your review. I was concerned it was too mild, but it seems ok! You got some sun!

[@Dootje351]

Haha this guy is such a dad. It was great though, buying the wilkinson sword razor while listening to some guy in the background rambling on. Thanks for the review.

[@gethin9896]

I got this one, the very same soap too, it's my first safety razor and I'll never go back to electric or cartridge, safety razor is the way to go

[@Sahil-Singh.]

I love long handle safety razors

[@christopherwalker4606]

Will you do a shaving video with the Wilkinson sword classic double edge safety razor and Wilkinson sword classic blade and wilkinson sword classic soap and Wilkinson sword classic brush please.

[@macdongr]

Huh... I didn't shave properly when I used this exact razor. The angle I used was more downward, and it did cut me a few times. I absolutely need more practice, but at least I know the kind of pressure and angle I need for next shave.

[@johnrohloff8647]

Late to the comment party here but i have used a feather blade in one of these safety razors and it shaves the same as a murker 23c with a feather blade with a little more aggressiveness i would say 5.5 on the scale

[@JackMellor498]

I finally got round to shaving with one of these, bought it from my local Boots outlet here in UK for £15 (pounds) and using the Wilkinson blades with it, didn’t use their shaving soap because I have like a ton of shaving creams and cans of foam, and have to say, glad I’m onto it now, really enjoyed the experience. Must say though, I did use the squirty Nivea Men Sensitive Shaving Gel and it dried out my face a tad too much and I did get or two nicks above my lip, the moustache area, but that’s always been an awkward spot for me, so I’ll have to get some of their shaving soap, but for now, I’m glad I’m hooked on safety razors.

[@ajgYT09]

Where are you from in the UK? Yorkshire, me like. Wet shaving, OH AYE!

[@JackMellor498]

ajgYT09 ajgYT09 No actually, I’m a Staffordshire chap, don’t hold that against me though, I love the North and Yorkshire in particular. 😅👌🏼

[@ABCkirja]

i barely grow facial hair but bought this instead of the cheap trash and wow! it's incredible and really does shave the face smooth.

[@Blue_Master]

I saw that the Wilkinson Cartridge Razors are named Schick in the US. For example Schick Quattro or Schick Hydro 5. Here in Germany it is named Wilkinson Hydro 5.
