Aside from a 5 pack of sharks I got along with a Parker 99R, German Wilkies are all I have at the moment. I switched over to a Merkur 34C a couple years back and continue to use the same blades (I bought 100 of em for $20 on Amazon) They're serviceable, but I'm not blown away by them. When I finally finish them off, I'll probably try a different brand.
