Very nice

I've had a reply from Wilkinson Sword re WS and Schick DE blades.
Wilkinson Sword is the brand name for the UK and Europe. Schick is the brand name for the USA, Canada, Australia, Asia and Russia. Both are made in Germany and are the same blades although some Schick blades are also made in the USA.

Thank you so much for finding that out. I can now go ahead and order the German made Wilkinson Sword blades (If they're the same, I'll be happy).

It is a little confusing, though, as I've never seen Schick blades sold here in AU. Only seen the Schick branded blades from the US that Lu20vt linked to https://atgshaving.com/goto/post?id=641145
Any chance you could PM me the email address as I might email them and ask them if they know where to buy them from if they're branded Schick in AU like they told you.

I wonder if the USA ones are the ones that I had a 10 pack of.

Thats really interesting. I have both and swear I can feel a difference between Schick and Wilkinson sword blades. .

Yeah, I guess I will have to try the Wilkinson & Sword blades and compare them to the Schick blades I had. Having said that, I've never seen Schick branded ones for sale here.

Just to add to the confusion, you will find this listing on Schick Canada's web site.

Yep, very confusing. Have you seen Schick branded blades sold in Canada? I haven't in Australia. I've seen Wilkinson Sword here, but not Schick. It sort of making me doubt the validity a little bit.

No, can't say I have seen Schick branded DE blades sold in Canada. It is not unusual for a little confusion to exist in what large companies have to say about themselves.

Stunning. Glad you finally settled on something, hope it shaves great for you. Finish looks excellent.

Cheers JP, finally got there in the end.
All that I’m waiting for now is the TI DB from Paradigm, from the second pre-order batch and that’s me done for this year - he says hopefully!!!

First shave today and I have to agree it's super smooth, to the point initially I didn't think I was taking anything off! A keeper for sure, I love the look and feel of it too!
