Wilkinson Sword personal care products

Wilkinson Sword is a historic brand synonymous with high-quality blades and grooming products. Founded in London by Henry Nock in 1772, the company initially produced swords, bayonets, and firearms before diversifying into safety razors in the late 19th century. This transition solidified its reputation as a pioneer in the personal grooming industry.

Today, Wilkinson Sword products are manufactured in multiple countries, including significant production facilities in Germany, particularly in Solingen, which is world-renowned for blade manufacturing. The brand's presence is global, maintaining a strong market share in Europe and beyond through its range of innovative shaving systems and disposable razors.

Since 2015, Wilkinson Sword has been owned by Edgewell Personal Care. This American multinational corporation was formed as a spin-off from Energizer Holdings. Edgewell manages a diverse portfolio of personal care brands and continues to invest in the research and development of the Wilkinson Sword brand to keep it competitive in the modern grooming market. In North America, the brand's counterparts are often marketed under the Schick brand name.
