Need help finding some links from an old thread

I am going to purchase a new razor soon and I saw some links somewhere in here recently that I cannot find. One was a link to a site where a guy made and sold razors. I think he had worked or makes razors for a bigger company like boker or something at some point. He has some for sale at reasonable prices and someone mentioned they looked like whackers. Also if anyone can help recommend something in the 8/8 or even 10/8 sizes I would apprieciate it. I own a Hart and a couple of Dovos, a DD and some other ebay stuff but want to try something a little different. Any help would be apprieciated. Barbers tip or spanish tip would be great.

I think those are the same razors but the link I saw had them in US dollars.

Here's a couple of links. Not sure if these are what you're looking for.
Ralf Aust Razors : Shaving Shop - luxury classic wet shaving products - straight razors
Heribert Wacker Straight Razors : Shaving Shop - luxury classic wet shaving products - straight razors

Thats the ones! Thanks Howard! Anyone try any of these?

I have several Wackers. They can be a little finicky to get dialed in on the hones and be a little chippy, but once there they are very good shavers. I like them a lot.

I've got a couple of Wackers and they have both been real good shavers. High class stuff.

I just got this one.

6/8 Ralf Aust Spanish Point Carbon Steel - fancy black plastic : Shaving Shop - luxury classic wet shaving products - straight razors

I will let you guys know how it shaves. Can anyone attest to the shave readiness of that site? It says it comes professionally honed so I should be ok. I am gonna go for one of those big whackers next month.

That's a beauty!!!

Congrats, and I look forward to hearing how it shaves. :D

Yea Im excited. I hope that they ship fast. I was also looking at the Dorkos. Do you have any experience with those? How do they stack up to the whacker?

No experience with either the Aust or Dorko, just the Wacker out of that group. Search Dorko, quite a few entries. :)

So it came in today. Unfortunately I did not see the package until just a few minutes ago and I shaved earlier tonight. It looks beautiful. Great craftsmanship, scales perfect and dead center and well balanced. The tang is pretty heavy unlike I have seen on most of my hollow ground razors. It was not quite as sharp as I would have liked so I looked at it under the microscope and it was a little rough. I taped it and got it where it needs to be and will give it a test tomorrow. Was a little tricky on the hone and took a little time but I got it there. Hopefully it was a sign of good steel. Anyway just wanted to give an update. Really pretty razor. Looked much better in person than in the pic.
