I've always thought Gilette edged it, provided you're talking in the same price bracket. Both beat Bic, the disposable razors are like shaving with a rounded brick.

Wilkinson have the better logo, because they have swords.

I find Gilette a bit pricey 4 blades at £22.00 , i bought 4 wilkinson hydro blades for £9.00 and a travel kit for £4.50.

altogether less than the price of four Gillete blades.

i agree Jamie Gilette probably has the edge although not by much.

I find just putting my head out of the window and waiting for a gust of wind does the best job

I had been using Gilette for ages then saw that Wilkinson heads were cheaper so I bought one of their razors. It cut me to bits. I fork out for Gilette now. Lesson learnt.

Wilkinson just for kicking the winning goal in the 2003 rugby world cup final!

 


In dog beers I’ve only had one.

Philips.

You don't want to faf around with a wet shave. Get an electric razor and free yourself.

I began my shaving life with Wilkinson Sword but always got razor rash so I switched to Gillette Mach 3 and have used them for many years and have never had a problem with them. I also use Kinexium shaving oil by King of Shaves [Link] and it's simply brilliant!

Not so long ago Gillette talked about ending the Mach 3 range so I bought the King of Shaves Azor razor [Link] and all I can say is that it was like dragging a potato peeler across my face. Thankfully Gillette canned their planned move.

 


Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!

Never tried Wilkinson to be honest, always used Gillette and never had a problem.

I did once make the monumental mistake of trying a bic razor and suffice to say I may as well have used bits of broken glass attached to a floor sander.

Sounds about right. The Biro is sharper.

I had my first Shave with my Wilkinson yesterday was pretty pleased with it as it goes.

gave me a good shave, as i said in earlier post Gilette are probably the best but at £22.00 for four blades is way over the top.
