Recently I found some ‘made in England’ Wilkinson Super Sword stainless steel DE blades that I had purchased in the 1960’s and were in my old Dopp kit.
I used one today and what a fantastic shave! I do not remember these blades being that good years ago, but this was one of my best shaves. The new Wilkinson blades for me are OK, but this 50 year old blade was great. Better than my usual Personna Lab Blues or Wizamet Super Iridium. First shave, but very smooth, sharp with no pulling. I will see how many shaves I will get and if it stays smooth.
Any additional historical Wilkinson blade information would be appreciated!
