What is Winners? Discount store? Nice buy though, hope you like it as much as I do!
Yes, it is a discount store with merchandise from other retailer that are going out of business or over stocked, I believe.

Initial impression is that it will shave very well and smoothly at that.

Did a quick 2 pass, hybrid XTG and an ATG, shave. Wanted to see how it would compare with a Gillette Fat Boy set @9 so used the #6 base plate thinking it would give max blade exposure and blade gap. The info said it was for removing 7 days worth of growth. Lather was supplied by an Omega boar brush an Ingram's shaving cream. Blade was a new Gillette Silver Blue. Post shave was alum and AV Ice Blue AS.

Shaves very much like the Gillette Fat Boy set @9 or any other aggressive DE I have used for that matter. Squeakly clean with no burn. It comes with various base plates so I imagine persons with less robust skin would be able to find a base plate to suit their own particular skin.

Lots of half price aftershaves & EdT's in the Marks & Spencer Christmas gift section today... Included pretty much everything they sell apart from Roger & Gallet :(
