Item Description
These are the Wilkinson Sword blades made by gillette in india
Price: I think I paid $1 for a 5 pack, but they are floating around out there on the interwebs for some ridiculously cheap price. It's a 10
Quality: They seem well enough made. Come double wrapped. Don't really see the point of this category since its a very short lived product. It's a 5
Sharpness: This is the blades HUGE shortcoming. People find the wally Wilks to be rather dull. Please, those are like a feather compared to these things. I usually use a blade 3 times, maybe 4. This thing was done after 1 shave. The second shave was like trying to cut a flank steak with a butter knife. Sharpness gets a very generous 3
Longevity: I can use this for 1 shave, thats it. This should be a 0, but I'll give it a 3
Smoothness: The blade is actually rather smooth. One of it's few strong points. 7
Packaging: I like the minimalist cardboard box. It takes up less room, it is more eco friendly, and it lets me dispose of the blade in my see through blade bank. Can't really ask for more: 10
Conclusion: I really wanted to like this blade. It is so cheap, and I like wilkinsons, but these are just awful. I have a course beard, but I don't find the German Wilkinsons to be that bad. Not the sharpest, but not dull by any means. These are outright dull. If you have a light beard, maybe you can use these. But if your beard has any grit to it at all, don't even bother with these.
The 5 pack I bought came with a Black Super Platinum, and needless to say I wasn't disappointed that I only got 4 of these particular blades
