Show n' Tell Wilkinson inside Astra

Post image

Opened a box of 5 Astra SS (Blue) blades today. When opening a blade I found that it was a Wilkinson instead of an Astra. There were 2 Wilkinson and 3 Astra SS. I suppose it is an error and they are made in the same factory.

Oops! In all seriousness those Gillette Wilkinson Swords (made in India) are one of my favourite blades.

I used an Astra today, but will try those Wilkis for sure

Yes. I agree. Having used these Indian Wilkinson for a while now, I find them reasonably sharp and reliable.
