Quite handy and fairly versatile
I bought two of these and I'm happy with them.
One I use to hang towels I dry dishes with after washing up on.
The other I use to hold small plastic bags I put rubbish in when preparing food for cooking (bits of veg that I empty into a bin for compostables or stuff that goes into mixed rubbish). Mine have small 'ears' on the sides that snap closed around the bottom bit (similar to some food containers) and they hold these little bags well without any trouble.
Build quality is pretty good, definitely better than I'd have expected for the price.

Not for very close shaves
0 of 2 found this helpful This razor has so little blade exposure that both me and a friend of min to whom I lent it afterwards weren't happy with it.
I tried just about every angle with it and ended up using it upside down to get a reasonable blade exposure. Because it's really lightweight AND has little blade exposure at any angle, it's difficult not to be tempted to put a bit of pressure into strokes and that's when it finally starts removing more hair, but the pressure threshold is very small, so a nick or a cut can come easily. I had to use so many passes to get between fine and smooth shave that I lost count and as a result, my skin was really irritated. I used a Feather blade in it, thinking it would help achieve a decent shave more easily. It doesn't seem to have helped much.
It's a shame - the handle is decent. The top of the head is not very good, however, even if it's priced around £5.50 and the head is just too light overall.
On the plus side, the ends of the blade aren't exposed on the sides, so shaving around ears and nose is a bit easier than it would be otherwise.
I also have a Weishi 9306FL and while it costs about twice as much, it's well worth it - it's easier to clean, it's only slightly more aggressive and much more efficient when loaded with the same blade. It's heavier and that's good - unlike this Wilkinson Sword razor, practically no pressure is required with the Weishi and its effective angle is pretty easy to find. I could still do with a heavier razor, but the Weishi is my primary razor and I'll delegate it to a travel razor once I get something heavier and/or a bit more efficient still.

Good for a noisy office
I work at an office that tends to get rather noisy. I have a pair of active noise cancelling headphones, but wanted something that wouldn't require charging or changing batteries.
They work pretty well by themselves, although they only tune out more distant sounds effectively and only somewhat muffle nearby noises.
These work maybe even better than the headphones did. When I pair them with in-ears, I get to enjoy music if I feel like it, and noise cancelling is really good with this combination. Everything is muted to the point that even people talking next to me sound like their mumbling fairly quietly.
Even my (admittedly, quite inexpensive) active noise cancelling headphones required a pair of in-ears underneath them to get the level of noise isolation I wanted.
These are also pretty slim for how well the passively isolate and look almost like a colourful pair of headphones. While they clamp noticeably, after slanting them so my ears would fit the ear cups better, they are comfortable enough to wear all day (8-10 hours in an air conditioned office).
The headband is either thick but flexible rubber or silicone. Quite comfy, too.
The extensible yokes are plastic and don't feel particularly sturdy, but then I don't manipulate them often and they seem solid enough to last a good while.
