What is this razor id ? Sticky or not ?

[melyus]

Hello dear Friends,
Yesterday i received this razor. it is same as wilkinson sticky but there is no sign on the handle or made in england in the head. or any date of code But exactly copy of wilkinson sticky. anyone see this kind of razor before ? What is that. heavy like wilkinson sticky and plastic is almost same as sticky.
Are there any model of sticky without any letter or brand on it ?
Thanks.

Yep, that's a Sticky for sure!

Why is it called Sticky? Inquiring minds, etc.

Don, the handle material has a tactile feel, especially when wet. Sticky.

Bill do you believe that is a sticky? i know you are experience with this kind items.. Erwin says yes it is...
But there is no sign and letter anywhere on it... btw this is first time i find this kind item in Turkey..if it is wilkinson..

If it isn't a sticky, it's an exact copy.

I want one of these - I got rid of the one I had, and I regret it.

Hi melyus - I think Erwin had it right. I've never owned one, but have seen plenty of them, one in person. Yours looks identical to every one I've seen but curiously, yours seems to have no Wilkinson logo on the end of the handle. Hard to tell in your photo but could it have worn off? Could be a production variation, also.

Here's one example of a Sticky. I have little doubt yours is the genuine article. Congrats!

Thanks for all your replies.

I haven't actually been looking for one, but I don't recall ever seeing one of these come up on eebay. Don't see a review posted on it so I'll ask here: how do they shave compared to, say, your average Gillette SS?

Nice design, nice looking razor.

They're really well made, but quite mild. I'd say even milder than a flare-tip SS.

Thanks for that. I prefer aggressive, so you just saved me going out and finding one.
