Wilkinson Sword Shaving Soap

How many times have I been in a drug store or Walmart and seen Wilkinson Sword shaving soap and walked on by. I just intuitively somehow knew it was a terrible soap. Its only $4 and how could a $4 soap be any good. I liked the deep blue flying saucer shaped container, but I never tried it. I have read reviews on this soap and others didn't seem too impressed. So I never bothered with it.

Yesterday I was in Walmart and checked out the shaving aisle as I usually do (just in case something new had been brought into the store and I didn't get the memo). I see Wilkinson Sword shaving soap and something in me just decided to give it a try. I paid my $4 and this morning I gave it a whirl.

And I was surprised. This is a very nice soap. The scent is a clean soap fragrance, mild and not overpowering, and dissipates when you rinse. The soap lathered very easily and it provided a good, thick lubricating lather. Post shave skin feel was fine...not dry or irritating.

I would not say it was a top tiered soap, but for the price, this is a remarkably good product. Why didn't I try this before? Sheesh...sometimes I surprise myself. Never judge a soap by its cover or reputation.

 

I have the Wilkinson Sword shave stick. Good soap! I agree it's not a top tier product but it gets the job done quite well.

Where do you live? Our area Walmart stores don't have any wet shaving products.

 

I wish my Wal-Mart stocked it.I like their blades.

 

i have the tub soap and the blue shave stick. i prefer the stick. i used so many of those tubs over the years before de razors, i just like everything else instead. ,tub soap is good, just boring..

 

Same here, I'd like to see my Local Walmart carry more traditional shaving gear.

 

The stick is very different (and superior, IMHO) from the flying saucer soap.

 

i haven t seen the stick in stores here, just the tub. i got 2 sticks from connaught shaving in england..stick is the best out of the 2

 

Very much agree -- the Wilkinson Sword stick gives a great shave with a really nice, creamy lather, and the price/value ratio is super-high. I only rarely shave with these for whatever reason but am glad to have this in my arsenal.

 

I have never come across it in any store unfortunately.

Perhaps it is based on where one resides if they carry it or not.

 

So, much to my surprise I went to Walmart online and found that they do have some products for us wet shavers.
It had 23 pages to sort through and I only got to 3 or 4, but did see quite a bit of "The art of Shaving" as well as Proraso, white, red and green, as well as a shaving brush by Proraso, so perhaps there is hope, still

 

i got the stick just to try and use it rarely , like the scent better as well.

 

i just found 5 packs of wilki blades at my local drugstore.. ,they only had 10 packs before for almost 12 bucks..

 

I've got a tub of this on the way. I can't wait to try it.

 

Yes it is a lot better. I couldn’t agree with you more!
