Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Ultimate razor

Wilkinson Sword is a legendary shaving brand with roots dating back to 1772 in the United Kingdom, where it originally began as a sword and firearm manufacturer. Over the centuries, the company pivoted to precision personal care products, becoming a global leader in razor technology. The Hydro 5 Ultimate line is designed for high-performance skin hydration and precision shaving.

Today, the brand belongs to Edgewell Personal Care, an American consumer goods corporation that spun off from Energizer Holdings in 2015. While the brand has British origins, its manufacturing footprint is global. Replacement blades are frequently produced in Solingen, Germany—a city world-renowned for blade manufacturing—while razor handles and assembly often take place in specialized facilities across China and other international locations. In North and South America, the equivalent products are branded under the Schick name, maintaining a dual-brand identity for different geographic markets.
