Hi all, well the SE obsession continues and has bought the Wilkinson Empire into my sights! Has anyone got any experience of how they shave and how easy it is to sort blades for them?

Good catch! It looks in good condition - did you get a box with it? Any issues slipping a blade in?

Yeah, what a faff! I'm sure folks in the factory put these together in seconds and maybe had a special tool. Was the inside caked with soap? It's worth doing, but if you were like me and the thing fell apart in my hands, it took some time to figure out which bit went where and I had another one alongside (not pulled apart) for reference.
By "slipping" I simply meant "inserting" ... not that it will slip around; it won't, so don't be nervous.
