Pros & Cons
Pros
The blades stay sharp for a long time and there is plenty of lube. It's 10x better than mach 3. The flip-up plastic edge enables me to get a closer, more precise shave along the edges of my moustache.
Cons
These are knockoffs as the razor body isn’t quite as it should be either. Could have given a zero actually. Going back to gillette fusion not as sharp. Suspicious its fake.
Standard, reformulated hydro 5s still suffer from the same problems i had last time around. The closeness of the shave is fine, but my skin was extremely irritated afterwards.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent quality blades well worth the money paid for them
The blades from wilkinson appear to be lacking in quality and i find three uses and they are just about finished
Pretty much what you expect for the price but all cartridge razors are very overpriced
Price
Did not believe in 5 blades and the cost
I’m a long time user of wilkinson sword but the prices some shops charge are ridiculous
G these are just as good and possibly better but half the price
Competitiveness
Cheaper than most of the top brands

Switched over to wilkinson sword hydro 5 razor blades as in my opinion they give a much smoother cleaner shave
