Some more Wilkinson Sword facts (or myths). They were also made here in Wales where I live. It is said their sabre blades where so well tempered they could be curled inside a bowler hat. Second fact, we have my wife’s Great Uncle’s dress Wilkinson Sabre. Stay safe and keep your great videos coming.

Hi Geo, greetings from France. I discovered wet shaving with this razor and this shaving cream two years ago. The Palmolive cream is the most common cream in France. It is sold in every supermarkets.

Fantastic video. ❤️ from Bombay, India. I have my maternal grandfathers Wilkinson butterfly DE razor. Its over 60 years old and the handle is actually made of pure ivory! Shaving with it is always amazing. Not once have I ever nicked or cut myself even if im careless or shaving in a hurry!

Old is gold!

Excellent step-by-step instructions. I really appreciate that your videos have the beginner in mind instead of taking the viewers for granted after a while.

Wow I have this one. Shaving has been my new hobby for hmm let's say 3 months and I bought this for start and must say it's amazing. I can really recommend it :)

Here in Germany you can get the Palmolive for 1€, but it (often) is the only shaving cream/soap (-stick) you can get... So actually this is my go to, and I love it (great shave, great smell, nothing too strong)!

I've been using this razor for 2 months and I'm very pleased with it.

9:24 I liked the change of the blades, totally spontaneous! And it did made a difference!

[penguinshoes]

wow thank you for this instructional video. This video is a perfect demonstration that the razor blade completely makes the shave. Cheap razors are not necessarily bad

I have been using this razor for the past 6 months. It is my first double edge razor. I think it is a little bit hard to begin traditional wet shaving but it is a good razor. I think it is a mild razor, milder than de89-r89, butterfly razors are easy to blade in. I can easily suggest to everyone who is beginner for wet shaving. Also thanks a lot for the review Geofatboy!

I recently bought the same exact shaving cream as I just started shaving with a safety razor, love the smell and it’s easy to get a good lather. Also, thank you for the quality content geo!

[lostintheozone]

I bought one of these as my first DE razor after 30+ years of using cartridge razors. In the UK it's called The Edger, and it's cheap as chips; the build quality far exceeded my expectations, especially when you consider the price. I agree that the W-S blades that come with it aren't particularly good, however, with KAI blades, this razor absolutely shines! It'll deal with 7 days of coarse growth painlessly, effortlessly, and leave you with a face smoother than a baby's bum!

I just bought one. Wilkinson is made in Solingen, Germany now. It’s like an old Gillette TTO close comb head. I bought the soap too and will buy a brush and make a video. Palmolive soap stick is amazing! Scent reminds me of my father.

Hi Geo- Great shave; thank you! Good call to switch to the Feather blade. I hope your week is going well. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Geo!

[MrAndrzejWu]

Thank you for this video. Wilkinson was my first safety razor. I was annoyed how long it took to get a good shave with it. It's good to see that part of the resposibility for that is on the side of the blades.

[patrickmessinger]

Yay celebrating both a new video from Shave Nation and my new Feather Blades arrived today. (:

[starlodear]

Both Palmolive creams are top notch. And you can get them everywhere in Europe for just a Euro.

[vitogiannelli]

Fa piacere vedere un video così chiaro anche io uso Palmolive soprattutto con il caldo. Il Wilkinson è un buon rasoio per cominciare 😊

Great! Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden. Have a nice weekend

[icecold]

Hey Geo, when are you going to do the expensive vs budget shave? The best low cost razors, blades, soaps etc... vs the top of the range shaving equipment, a Balboa vs Creed if you will... a David vs Goliath...a showdown to end all showdowns!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
