Pros
- Wilkinson Sword is cool
- If cost is a concern, don't go for something like the Leaf or Merkur. Get a Wilkinson sword, or better yet, check the antique shops or flea markets for antique razors (rust free, of course).
- going on my top 3 list along with Edgewell made Wilkinson Sword and Feathers
- Gillette Nacets, Gillette Perma-Sharp, and Wilkinson Sword (made in Germany) are among my top 5.
- For me are Wilkinson sword (India made) best.
Cons
- To me this razor seemed very mild, definitely much milder than my old Wilkinson. ... Definitely an upgrade over plastic Wilkinson.
- I feel like I cant get a close enough shave with it although it is consistent. I dislike the pattern of the handle, it feels slippery in my hands
- German Wilkinson Sword, Persona Platinum blue, Timor and even generic blades from Walgreens.
- Definitely an aggressive shave, dragged a bit but was smooth for the 1st shave only, lasted only 2 shaves before razor burn and dulling. Required more pressure than normal to get a close shave. Awful. Wilkinson Swords are as dull as thei...
- I paired it with a second use Wilkinson Sword blade.

You will need sharp blade too, like Wilkinson sword or feathers.
I'm quite happy with my Arko, Proraso, Cella, Wilkinson sword, Palmolive and they're all budget choices.
So far from the blades I've used my favorites are: Wilkinson sword, Astra, and Lord cool.
