Hi, I came across some Wilkinson safety razors which resemble Valet razors on ebay. Any source of information for Wilkinson safety razors? Thanks.
Great link Bushranger - I had not been there for a while and it really is an excellent coverage of Wilkies through the ages. - thnx!
Thanks for the link. He has even written a book on Wilkinson razors: http://wilkinsonrazors.blogspot.com/2006/07/book-and-much-more-now-available-on-cd.html
they (their SE wedge sets) certainly are interesting contraptions. Almost bought one 30's-50's set for 85AU$, never tried them. I'm shocked with the premium on them now (this year), and I thought that sum was pricey, look at ebay +200US$! Might stick with cut-throats/str8s, DE, with the occasional disposable SE blade
I got a Wilkinson off ebay. Good pictures here: http://www.stropper.com/stropper_we...select2=&select3=&select4=&select5=&select6=0 Do you know anything about it I guess it's in a way the predecessor of electric razors but don't know how the blade gets sharpened.
I've seen those on eBay before, but could never make out how it operates or what kind of blade it has, so I always passed on them.
