Wilkinson Sword is a historic brand with a legacy dating back to 1772 in London, where it originally started as a manufacturer of swords and firearms. Over two centuries, the brand evolved from weaponry to high-quality steel blades, eventually becoming a global name in personal care and shaving technology. Its transition into the shaving market spearheaded innovations that have shaped modern grooming.

Today, the brand's ownership reflects the globalized nature of the consumer goods industry. While it serves a large market in Europe and the UK under the Wilkinson Sword name, it is owned by Edgewell Personal Care, an American multinational. In North America, many of the same products are sold under the Schick brand name. Manufacturing occurs in multiple locations globally to serve its international distribution network, maintaining its reputation for precision engineering and durability.
