That's the one. You're toast. You'll be ruined forever! yes, you'll fuss w/ the edge. You'll forget all about the fussing while basking in nirvanic bliss after a shave.

They are good razors!
Nice Wacker,call me stupid but do not understand the Kamisori aspect to that blade.
PF'd,
'Not stupid at all. From the description on shavingshop, I got the impression it was an asymetric grind, like the kamisori or microtome. Petrakos kindly corrected my mistaken impression. Apparently its a heavy grind - near wedge at the top, and abruptly gets very hollow near the bevel. How that will work over time (repeated honings), I don't know. Petrakos knows his Wackers, and I can't wait to hear about the shave. Myself - am a fan of the heavy grind wackers. They changed my world - shaving-wise. I still love each one. The Mrs. always gets a big grin when I emerge from the shave w/ a big smile and say: 'Wacker love. Its a beautiful thing!'
I see it now,I have a Japanese western with that exact same grind,will try to post a pic.
Here ya go,looks the same to me, or pretty close.The thing is a beast to hone, but when done it is a great shaver.
