Review: Great Bang for the buck! - I have used MANY Safety razors, and I can say that this is a surprising good Razor for the money. I can tell it wont be as durable as a few others I have, but fantastic for traveling, as a back up, or for simply trying a Safety razor for the first time. Shaves nice, and, as always, Wilkinson Sword Blades are great. Review: Impressive so far - So I'm an experienced wet shaver for around 6 years so I have different razors and different types (De, Se, injector, shavette, gem) and tried many more. My intention with this razor is not to use regularly but strictly mostly as a travel razor. I will update this review after my first few shaves. I knew beforehand this was a plastic razor so I had low expectations and low standards for build quality. Gladly I'm impressed by it. So yes it's mostly plastic however the plastic isn't cheap and there are a a metal weight in the handle. More so the razor base plate feels ceramic or metal. I have played with it a bit and I'm happy with the mechanical workings and how easy and safe it is to load and unload a blade and how simple it is to open and close. All you need to do is hold the handle below the base plate and turn the bottom of the handle and twist. The cap will release or screw down in the same manner. All you do is put the blade on the base plate, loosely place the top cap on and twist the handle and it will lock down the top cap. It has a good weight I will say I was expecting a super light razor like the paa plastic slant razors I have. It is heavier than those and has a good long handle as well. Since I have not used I yet I can't comment on the blades yet but, I have used the Wilkinson blades before (saloon pack) and I do enjoy those. I do suspect that for close shaved you would need sharper blades like a feather, kai, or Perma sharps. ## Features - Double-edged, vibration-free embedded blade delivers an accurate shaving result - Triple finish of the blade thanks to chrome, ceramic and Krytox ensures good shaving properties - Balanced weight distribution thanks to the metal core inside the razor - High-quality retro design for fans of classic wet shaving ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0012Y1FCK | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #185,648 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #394 in Men's Razor Blade Cartridges | | Brand | Wilkinson Sword | | Brand Name | Wilkinson Sword | | Color | black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 3,890 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04027800015504 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Item Dimensions | 3.54 x 0.55 x 7.32 inches | | Item Type Name | Wilkinson Classic Razor (includes 5 blades) | | Item Weight | 38 Grams | | Manual Shaving Razor Type | Safety Razor | | Manufacturer | Wilkinson Sword | | Manufacturer Part Number | 446476 | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | 446476 | | Number of Blades | 5 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Wet shave | | Package Type Name | Box | | Skin Type | Normal | | Special Feature | Wet shave | | Style | Classic | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Wilkinson Sword - **Number of Blades:** 5 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Special Feature:** Wet shave - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Classic Men's Razor with 5 Razor Blades - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KJiaHlVlL.jpg) ![Classic Men's Razor with 5 Razor Blades - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91eE3kN6foL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a TTO/butterfly style?** A: No, it has two separate parts.
