Thread: Need help with my Wacker razor !!

Did you oil the razor? I don't see any mention of it being oiled....

As stated, I would remove the paypal complaint and see if the seller will still fix it for you, if not i would get some polish and spend 5 minutes removing the stains, if you don't have oil get some asap.

Make sure the blade is 100% clean and dry after using it and always oil it after use.

Well i think you can now see the difference between carbonsteel and stainless steel. Still a beuatiful razor. keep it dry and well oiled and that will keep it beuatiful for a long time.

Yes, but a razor with gold wash costs a lot of money, whereas ...

This is an extremely important point that bears repeating.
I have seen many razors which had been put away with some residual moisture or soap inside the scales, with spots or worse as the result.

+2 or 3
I don't ever even close the razor until the next day, it sits in a seperate drawer after all the wiping down etc: open until the next day, then it goes back in it's normal spot, and the next razor comes out to play

Which is why a razor stand like this comes in handy.

To make it clear to the OP. There's NOTHING wrong here, you should apologize to Wacker really.
When you made your "what should I buy?" thread you were advised to buy something less expensive as you are clearly new to this.
It pays to do some research before spending a lot of money on something you know little about.
And that goes for how you use and protect your gear as well.

The travesty is that if Wacker doesn't respond to paypal, and say that it is user neglect that caused the problems, paypal may side with the buyer.

Yeah, that would be a shame.

Thank you for replay guys. I needed to hear your opinion.
I have sent Mr. Wacker an apoligize for the misunderstanding, I have also canceled the dispute on paypal.
Thank you very much for advice.
