Our name has been synonymous with razor production ever since one of our founders – Henry Wilkinson – started tinkering around with men’s shaving products in 1884 and came up with the game-changing Pall Mall safety razor. You’d think that designing and engineering one of the most iconic men’s razors ever manufactured might be enough, but that was just the beginning. Since then we’ve consistently transformed the way that razors are created – they’ve evolved from being purely functional to providing an all-round experience that makes shaving a pleasure. Henry initially created the company to manufacture swords, as well as guns. Over time the company began to diversify its product lines, going on to manufacturer a wide range of items such as bayonets, typewriters, garden shears, scissors and even motorcycles!

You could do worse than bringing over 200 years of good old-fashioned precision engineering into your grooming routine. We’re Wilkinson Sword, and if it’s got a blade, we’ve probably designed and manufactured it at some point since 1772. It was sword-making that made our name, but in the last century we’ve become world famous for the most innovative shaving products around.
