- Wilkinson Sword Classic (German) -
What your opinion on these blade?
How would you rate the blade in terms of sharpness and smoothness ?


Thank you very much

 

I find I like it very much. In my opinion, it's about a 6/10 on sharpness and a 9/10 on smoothness. Hope that helps!

 

I don't like them. They did not work well for me in my DB89L. But don't let my view stop you from trying a new blade. Now that my technique has improved and I now have other razors I'll go back and try them again.

Maybe.

I am looking forward to trying these blades and seeing how they compare.

 

Ok, much better IMO.

 

They were my gateway blade when I started DE shaving. They were an okay blade. Then I discovered Russian Steel(Voskhod, GSB, et al). It was all over after that!
Try 'em regardless, your face may love 'em.

 

I like them. They are the only brand I've seen on store shelves around here (BC, Canada).
Having said that, they aren't the best I've tried, and buying blades by the hundred online is much much cheaper than buying them 5 at a time at the local grocery store. YMMV.

these were the blades i started with and are available at most stores around here in vancouver.they were my go to blade with a new to me razor.now i just use astra sp.smoother,sharper,cheaper.10 wilkinsons are $11 before tax at most stores.cheaper online i am sure .a good reliable blade in my opinion.

 

Yeah, $11/10 at Save-On, $6/5 at Pharmasave IIRC (Canadian dollars). Decent, but even Feather is half that price on Fendrihan. But if you need blades *now*, they are what are available, and I like them much better than Dorko, maybe even more than Derby.

i agree,still buy them once in a while and have a few tucks left.they work well in my tech razors.

 

$11 for _ten_ blades? or 10 tucks? if 10 blades, that's in the Gillette range! (Although they're cheating and selling 9 blade packs).

 

medium performance while decent lasting durability

 

They work fairly good in my Gillette Adjustable's, It takes 3 passes + touch up but in my Weber PH or Parker Variant they work great, just 2 passes and a light tough up.

 

1 tuck of 10 blades for $11 ish plus taxes.london drugs,save on foods etc,vancouver,b.c. haven t seen any 5 blade tucks.

 

I like these blades, but I don't have a heavy beard, so I will be on my 8th shave tomorrow. I strive for BBS, although DFS will do.
3 passes + touch-ups.

 

Yee-ouch. Dollar a blade. Well, it's still cheaper than cartridges, especially if you get 4-8 shaves out of a blade. Still expensive, even considering the Canadian dollar.

 

i have only seen them packaged individually,never in 100 lots,online maybe.prices could come down if there were other choices beside them.i have seen shaving departments in these stores grow significantly in the last year.in 2005 when i started using a brush,there was wilkinson soap ,wilkinson brush, williams soap, and 10 different canned products.now ive even seen 4711 aftershave,and a few different creams and soaps.hopefully more blades to follow.

 

I pay $1.49 for a W.C. 5 blade pack at my local drug store. Can get them cheaper at on line stores.

 

When I bought 100 Wilkinson Sword Classic, they were 50 cents a blade IIRC. I bought them online. My go-to blade so far, Bic Chrome Platinum, 3o cents per blade.

 

Same here though I have to go to a drugstore near my office. I actually found them once at a dollar store.
