    Went out to the mailbox and found that the anticipation was over, my German Wilkinson Swords finally arrived!
    So I slathered up with VDH luxury applied via a badger brush, placed a Wilkinson in my '59 Gillette Ball-end Tech and shaved.

    The results were very nice, comparable in every way to a lot of other blades. I use the Tech as my baseline razor (it's probably my favorite shaver) the overall shave was similar to what I get with this razor when using Rapira Platinum Lux or Voskshod Teflon coated. Better than Personnas, so for the price. I would buy these again (I spent $6 for 25 blades.
    Any thoughts?

    With blades it's really hard to tell whether the next guy will agree with you. They're probably the most ymmv product..imo. Like you I've had good shaves with them and they're one of the standard blades we fussy shavers use..so they would be a good one to try...
