Now this too was in need of new scales. To compliment the Gold washed blade which I clean up I used Honey Horn. I also deviated from the factory shape to add a bit of presence to it. ( as if it needed it) Finished it with triple stacks after cleaning up the blade and removing scratches from the shaft. I also added spacers to prevent this in the future.

Beautifully done sir.
Very nice, anyone would love to own it. That Honey Horn suits any straight, love it!
Fantastic work!
Wow, that horn looks great. I like the scale profile, and a fantastic finish.

Beautiful.
I always wanted one of these as Wacker makes a nice looking blade.
Wonder how they shave!
I have a modern Wacker and the quality is excellent - gives a very good shave in answer to CanonSterVa. The factory uses honey horn on lots of their razors so this one is not at all out of place - although I would say the finish and pins on this refurb would not be seen on a factory produced razor.
Wealth of information from SRP once again...Quote:

Thank you.
Thanks guys. And this one is a great shaver.I just had to take a couple of passes with it.
Many times with custom type work deviation from what the factory would do is normal. Someone wants a polished blade where the factory had a brushed finish. Pins, scale material etc. will vary from razor to razor.
That just happens to be the model that I have - mine was a 2011 celebration of 70 years and I assume yours will have the same extreme point. Fantastic razor but beware that point around the ears and nose.Quote:

When I wrote to Wacker congratulating them on the quality I suggested that they could maybe make their website a bit more user friendly - however, I didn't get a reply
