I ignored that advice as couldnt see how an old fashioned razor would be better but recently when looking to purchase more 5 blade wilkinson cartridge razors i saw these and thought i would give them a go the cartridges were double the price for 8 vs 100 of these blades so i thought it was worth a punt
