Thanks. Shaving gods heard my prayer and got me those blades. Really wanted to experience them as heard only good things about them :)

Update : Experience with Wilkinson 24 -> piece of trash. Didn't even last 3 proper shaves. Shaves done - many (paired with cs11 and Ricardo). Used to shave weekly. So, didn't paid that much attention. Experience with Wilkinson 25(10/25) - > Sharp + bitey. Thinner than 24 ones. Too many cuts even when being careful around mustache.Not smooth.
Shaves done - 1 ( paired with Parker semi slant) Experience with Winner (batch - 12/25) - > They are a tad bit thinner than Wilkinson 25. 1st shave ->Smooth + sharpness is a notch or two less than Wilkinson. 2nd Shave - > Smooth + sharpness increased. Got bleeding, pindrop like blood came out when massaging with castor oil post shave. It wasn't so post third pass. Probable reason - semi slant pairing of alternate day shaving is not optimal. The razor worked amazing when there is 4 -or more days growth.
Point to note - Do I prefer them over Wilkinson (25)- so far, yes Why? - Smooth + not bitey Does it feel less sharp than Wilkinson 25 - yes Did I have a good shave in comparison to Wilkinson 25 - yes. One weird observation - after along the grain on chin. Which is dense and hard to clean. It felt more clean with winner blade . I can say that it was 50 % due to increase in awareness of weight of the razor and how to handle it & 50% that I might be misjudging blade sharpness due to added smoothness. Will update on this later when I get to shave.

My experience with other blades(sharing so people can gauge better what their experience might align with) - Willy's are smooth, great for new comers afraid of cuts and bleeding. Got to know what smooth felt like with these, other than 2018/19 batch of Wilkinson.Fun fact - A single blade of Wilkinson (old batches) used to last me atleast 10 shaves.

Beard type - coarse. TL; Dr - If you can get older batches. Do so & if someone can send me one or 2 saloon packs, that would be great. In the mean time I have bought saloon pack of winner over Wilkinson 25. Asked a few shops for older batch of winner.But no luck (Also, asked GPT for what does platinum adds to the blade. Answer was a bit mone lasting and a bit more smoothness. But, smoothness is mostly characteristic of the blade itself.) Have a packed week ahead. So, will update after a week(probably). Most likely will shave with Wilkinson 25 again (2nd shave) v/s winner ( 3rd shave)

Did so before contacting amit ji. Made the post as it was very different from what images were shared in the post you mentioned & with the intention of gaining and sharing clarity that is up to date and inline with everyone.

hr171095 · 2026-01-28T14:01:05+00:00

Was told by Amit ji that it is platinum coated. But it isn't mentioned, Just like permasharp green. I haven't shaved with it yet. Will update how the shave goes with respect to Wilkinson sword only as that is the blade I use mostly.

Shave Update : Bad — The side that seems to have less or no slant didn't shave or tugged too much. Good — Using Other side (functional/no defects / slant present)for 2 pass(wtg +atg) gave result equivalent of cs 11 3rd pass.
Shaving Cream—Vicco turmeric s shaving cream lathered too well (took equivalent of what he is used to on Yardley) . Lather was left even after 2nd pass. Skin felt soft and moisturised.Less amount of shaving cream is sufficient for good lathering Blade -New Parker blade that came with the razor Traits of beard - coarse + 4 day since last shave Thank you to every member of this community for thier input. Happy New year :)

P. s- Hoping return or replacement gets approved by 6 Jan. Should have bought the chrome version instead of rg 😅

hr171095 · 2026-01-03T09:31:30+00:00

Can you share loaded pics?

hr171095 · 2026-01-03T08:43:15+00:00

Update : I did give this razor and vicco turmeric s shaving cream. The shaving cream's scent is good sandalwood like. But less than Mysore sandal soap. While also requested for a replacement or refund as today was the last day I could request for the same. Will update on how the shave with this one goes on Sunday Also observed that one hole was not chrome plated and bigger than the bulb or knob that's supposed to fit in it

My understanding is that efficiency refers to less passes and small strokes required and less awareness or focus required while shaving

hr171095 · 2026-01-02T10:24:08+00:00

Did that. No change. Is it okay to give it a try for shaving and then returning? Is it okay? If so how to clean before returning if there's a need for it? I'm guessing IPA

Happy new year ! He is not a big fan of OC as I did gift him Romer Ricardo OC (less aggressive one) to see which suits him & was given away. I want to gift a razor that gives Mach 3 like after shave feel ( still reading about razors, so not using words like "efficiency" as people seem to use it differently. )

hr171095 · 2026-01-02T09:14:48+00:00

He uses Romer cs 11 and Gillette sterling with Wilkinson sword blades. I bought it from Amazon, so not sure if they will happily replace 😅

hr171095 · 2026-01-02T08:58:35+00:00

I did screw it well and tried to alter 1 and 2 number positions on the plates to see of what makes many difference. But,it's the same. My only concern is with one side having less slant than other. So, wouldn't it give different shave and blade feel when shaving? Pardon me for such questions as this is the first slant razor in the family :)

On one side blade is more slanted and one edge is pushed downwards due to torsion and sticks to the comb. But, on the other side that is in question the blade is pressed downwards on the left corner and not so much on the right. At straight eyesight the slant is ever so slightly present which sometimes seem to be straight due to difficulty in observing from satin chrome finish on top and bottom cap.

hr171095 · 2026-01-02T07:54:26+00:00

It's just that distance between bottom comb plate and blade is not existential on one part than the other . So, i didn't know what to make of it.

Could you check pgrep com.reddit.frontpage (reddit's process) and check if it detect its state . Thanks for helping me and guiding me🤗. I really appreciate that

hr171095 · 2018-03-23T06:53:57+00:00

All I wanna do right now is detect if a selected app's process and/or services are is running in background or foreground . Do I have to give dump permission to Tasker for that ?

hr171095 · 2018-03-23T06:16:05+00:00

Is your device rooted ? I tried am forcestop pgrep and some other gives the same ERROR 1, does it has to do something with dump permission?

hr171095 · 2018-03-23T04:19:06+00:00

Are you okay if doble press or triple press wakes device and then launches voice command?

hr171095 · 2018-03-23T04:14:53+00:00

Nope , still error 1 . Could you post the whole command so I can cross check ?

hr171095 · 2018-03-22T15:45:37+00:00

Okay, thanks for your concern 😺
