Luxury Razors

Today, I like to write a post about a great razor company: Wilkinson Sword. Wilkinson Sword, founded in London in 1772, was first manufacturing swords, and then started to produce different kind of gardening tools and shaving accessories like razors and razor blades. Wilkinson Sword has also manufactured in the past guns, bayonets, and other objects such as typewriters, garden shears, scissors, and motorcycles. Wilkinson Sword has manufactured all its ranges of products in three UK sites over its history: in Chelsea and Acton next to London, Cramlington in Northumberland and Bridgend in Wales, where they made gardening tools. In 2000, an executive decision was made to close its razor plant in the UK and consolidated its growing production in Germany. (more…)

In 1988, a young man working for a manufacturer of silver cutlery sets was speaking to a friend, they are talking about the shaving razors the man makes for himself. The friend casually suggests the man should open a business and sell the razors. The next day the man resigns and opens up his own company. Established in 1988 in Sheffield, England, Edwin Jagger is a family-run business where integrity, promise and inspired design go hand in hand. Edwin Jagger sets the standard for impeccable male grooming. Over two decades, Edwin Jagger has grown into a global leader in male and female grooming product manufacture.
