My first Wacker.....so far Antik 15/16 #6 of 35 (Apparently another batch of these "Limited Editions" were made)

Who has a Wacker "Special razor"? Show your photos the structure of the blade plz.

Zephyr, you might look back at page 4 of this thread.

Just received this beautiful Wacker! The gun metal finish is very nice and she shaves just great.

Decisions, decisions...

I bought a 6/8 Wacker from John and it is a beautiful Spanish Point razor to say the least; however, despite having been honed before shipping, it was not shave ready. I ended up sending it out for rehoning and was told the bevel had to be reset, correctly. Ever since it has been one of my favorite shavers. Now I want to buy a 7/8 Wacker but with what it took to get the 6/8 shave ready I am kind of hesitant.

I've read all the posts in this club and it seems to me that it is a 50/50 shot at receiving an actual shave ready razor from John.

Any input?

That's exactly what I was reffering to, those on page four is from a series of 16 razors, while the one I had was from a series of 35, and according to John there is also some without numbering.
Kinda strange when it's called a limited edition me think.....

I just purchased this 7/8. Sure hope this one is honed properly when I get it.

Very nice,have the same blade in 15/16,took some time out of the box to get it just right,but she now shaves like a dream,enjoy.

I considered the 15/16 but the description "I adjudicate/categorize a 15/16" as a smaller 7/8" razor even though it is almost a full 1” blade." threw me off.

Picked up a 1/4 hollow just the other day.
