Thread: Die Wackerfans!

Rod, that new Wacker is a beautiful one, thank you for sharing. I've ordered my 'Barber's Bride' as well and am happy to see some decent pics of one, other than the ones on the Wacker website.

Thanks Smoothy.... It really caught my eye too.

After researching over a month the top 3 of 10 were Wackers followed by Revisors and Thiers Issard.

The Wacker Chevalier is next on my list.

I'm really diggin' my Wacker.

A Chevalier - nice choice and nice coincidence - A Chevalier is in the same order, together with the Bride, for me too.
I asked them to rescale it in horn as i wasn't too keen on their wooden scales. Alas I will only receive those 2 (plus a Dorko 7/8" blank done up by Wacker) in December when family is visiting me here in Asia. So until then I will rely on your shave reports to see how those 2 straights are performing

Cheers

Groovy... Good taste in razors bro.

I'm not too keen on the plane-Jane black scales, so I plan to have Max re-scale them in Aqua Glass & Abalone/Paua shell.

I'm so new to this that I hacked up my face this morning with the Bride and will wait until my stones come in to hone the girl .... soooo.... it may be a while before I have a report.

She was a blood-covered beauty though.

I have several Wackers but my favorite is this #6 of a series of sixteen that was made by Heribert Wacker himself when he was in the age range of about 80. There is a particularly thick application of gold on the spine. I have some other gold spine razors where the gold has worn off to some degree but this gold is so thick it will never wear off in my lifetime. I do shave with it occasionally. Love it...........

Recently received this nice straight, a Dorko 576 blank done up and fitted with horn scales by Heribert Wacker. The blade is 7/8" and full-hollow. This was a limited edition run of 40 razors based on this blank, mine's #36.

T'es aussi au 3C?

My favorite wacker... Maybe I might splurge for a Jungmeister later but IMHO the best tradition is one of the better looking ones ... Even tho it's only 6/8

From my current rotation of 4 straight razors, 3 are from Mr. Wacker. This one is one of them, the Barbier's Bride which has already been presented by TheJoker on the previous page but I figured a few more photographs won't hurt ;-)

The blade is 6/8" full-hollow ground and set into very gorgeous dark horn scales.
