Over the past year I have received two new shaving systems---Wilkinson and Gillette.The latter was the first to arrive and I used it quite successfully for several months.Replacement blades were/are expensive and I used the freebie blades to destruction! When the Wilkinson system arrived I started to use it.Initially I found the flexibility an issue,but I soon found the advantages of the system bending rather than my face being lacerated.The cutting edge was/is superb,and the movable strip on the blade edge is excellent at shaving around nose area and getting a good edge on sideboards.I prefer this entire system.Replacement blades are still expensive,and I do have my own little sharpening gadget ( in rubber) to try and make the blades last longer.As mentioned I really like the Wilkinson system,but like all systems you are tied to a manufacturer.In effect they have a monopoly on that system and its price,which can be expensive.I grew up with an ordinary razor blade that would fit into any razor.Modern manufacturers have gone way beyond this and can now control their own market.As always it is the final consumer who pays the price.So my advice would be to be flexible to new systems when available, especially where there are special offers/freebies.But certainly the Wilkinson system is the best one that I have seen.Read full review

I am 56 yrs old and over the years have bought hundreds if not thousands of razors. But after getting the hydro 5 (battery) from my daughter at Christmas, I will not have to look for any other. Coupled with the pack of razor heads recently purchased at a very good price it’s like it’s still Christmas. Can not fault the razor and can not fault the razor heads. EXCELLENT 😄

I am 58 and for over 20 years, I have been shaving with Gillette Fusion. I started off with a Christmas Present from my daughter with a Gillette Mach 3 and I went up to the Fusion Proglide powered with a battery. I recently bought myself a Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 razor with one blade. I tested it out and I was hooked. Then I bought the Power razor then a Sensitive one. Now I have 1 power razor, 2 sensitive and 2 plain Hydro 5 (one is a Transformers edition). I only wish I had gone with Wilkinson Sword years ago. It is a smoother shave, I dont get a rash now like I did with the Gillette. I look forward to a shave now and my wiskers dont grow quick enough. I have also started to try out different soaps / creams. Looking forward to trying them out as well. I whole heartedly would recommend Wilkinson Sword to anyone.Read full review

The blades did not come in the blue colour as used to. I admit I was a bit apprehensive about the blades. My fears where unfunded. Best shave I have ever had. Nice and smooth. I brought 2 packs because the price was very good at the time.
