Italian barber emailed me with new products list, lots of good stuff. Particularly interesting are the Vi-John blades. I was hoping for Vi-John aftershave.
.... Even the 'Saloon' pucks of cheap Gillette Wilkinsons works out better than VI-JOHNS.
Not really, I use fair amount of Chinese products related to wet shaving but blades are in different league altogether. Years ago Gillette Wilkinson was my go to blade and Gillette India did put in efforts to keep the Wilkinson name respectable. Ever since they started to source from China that blade just isn't same anymore to me.My favorite blade. The if it's Chinese it must be junk refrain is tiresome.

Chinese blades that I have tried left me wanting a better blade. Maybe blade making isn't their thing for whatever reasons.
