How Does A Wilkinson Super-Sword Compare?

[Hair Scraper]

I found a pack of Super-Swords in an antique store and thought I’d give them a try.

It appears that they’ve been long discontinued. They look like they’re plain stainless without a coating.

Does anyone know how they’d compare to a blade that’s currently available

No idea. Would be interested in hearing your review.

I have some and like them, they seem to provide a good life for me.
I assumed they are coated, hence the "should not wipe" warning.
Not as sharp as some but a great serviceable and durable blade.
Made in England.

Congrats on the find, enjoy!

Those of you who use vintage blades regularly what are your thoughts on this blade. I just used one for three shaves. To me they pull and are very uncomfortable to use but I end up getting a very close irritation free shave. What they remind me of are Gillette blue blades. I don't get the fuss...

I picked up a bunch of these about 3 months ago in an ebay auction. They're old, made in England. Shaved with one for the first time on Monday morning. It was a delightful shave. (Yes, I know, I was supposed to be starting "two weeks of Souplex", but curiosity got the better of me.) Is there...

I have read about these vintage blades(Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge), for a while, notably from "bosseb", and the "Excalibur Club". Bosseb even sent me one, and I forgot to use it. Well, yesterday I stumbled on an open slider pack, that came with a razor, I received a long time ago. I had...

Bumping this as I finally got around to trying some I got in a lot. Definitely not as sharp as some sharp modern blades but a solid upper middle tier blade (modern 7 O’Clock yellow scale). Fairly smooth if I go slower and forgiving. Not my personal preference in sharpness but definitely good for a lot of people. Probably would have been good for me prior to hitting 35 years old.

Was expecting to bin them but pleasantly surprised. Will make its way into a Fatboy tomorrow for a more aggressive shave.
