I know there isn't a great following for the Wilkinson Sword Empire Razors here, but I want to share my observations.
1. Very unique look. Manly with gears.
2. Not many have them, nor have heard of them.
3. As far as I know, was one of the first adjustable razors, 1930's.
4. The most aggressive vintage razor I have found yet. It is as close to a straight razor as I have found. MORE aggressive than the MMOC. Yet can be tamed by the adjustment mechanism.
5. They can be had for a reasonable price, if you know where to look, and don't pay attention to dirty pictures, they clean up nicely.
6. They are heavy, and feel good in the hand.
This is an easy BBS but beware, it almost feels like a mini straight razor. More need to try one, if you like aggressive yet very controllable.
