Many thanks to NotTheSTig for furnishing me with some NOS English Wilkies. Used one this morning - ran a very close second to my newly beloved Rapira Swedish SuperSteel blades - smooth, sharp, close, no nicks ,cuts or irritation, minimal sting with Alcolado Glacial Mentholated Splash, BBS.
Whatever else was happening around them in the 1990s, men could stand before the mirror each day and be proud of their little bit of English manufacturing heaven.
Tech question: I have a single Wilkie blade of forgotten provenance. The blade markings and blade wrapper are identical to the NOS English Wilkies. Does this make it another NOS English or do all Wilkies look the same at individual blade and wrapper level?
