Wilkinson Sword blades in bulk

[Jonathan Walker]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone in uk can suggest where I could buy some Wilkinson Sword blades in bulk?

If you are looking for the current German blades there are usually plenty on eBay for £10 or just under per 100

Before you bulk buy I implore you try the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade as made in China (NOT India) as they make the German Wilkies and the Indian version of Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades seem like shaving with musket flints in comparison!!

I presume you bought the Shanghai GWS's from Ebay? I've used a few different Shanghai blades, I presume they all come from the same factory - a few a bit ropey but a few are very good indeed.

Which Wilkinson Swords are you after? The German ones are easy to identify as they are sold in cartons of dispensers of 5 blades.

The Indian Gillette Wilkinson Swords are sold in packs of 10 (saloon pack), whilst the Chinese GWS are sold in packs of 5.

To determine if Chinese you have to look at the back (or ask vendor):

If you want a good Chinese Gilette blade I'd recommend the Thai market Gilette Super Thins. They are terrific: very smooth and sharp.

Enablement #1 of 2018, I follow Bogey's advise closely as he was spot on about razors which for me was the humble Krona.

There is a seller on the bay doing 10x5 tacks at around£5 delivered from the sub continent which I will dully hand over next week.
