Today is my birthday and I just ordered a Wacker "Barbiers Bride". I'm very anxious to hone it myself.

I'm about to join the club! Just ordered my Wacker Old Sheffield Keilschliff notch point wedge. Photos will follow as soon as I have my Wacker in my hot little hands.

Not the best of pictures - but then again, it's the razor that counts.
My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

Thanked: 656 Wacker Le Chevalier
I have always wanted a Wacker but never badly enough to pay the price of a new one.
Last week I found this baby on marktplaats, a free Dutch auction site. Used 2x according to the seller who had not managed to get a good shave out of her.
I couldn't resist and bought her half the original price. Macroscopically it is in pristine condition. With the loupe I saw minimal damage at the toe end of the bevel. I reset the bevel with a 1.5K Shapton and the Yokoma barber hone. Finished with the kosher coticule with slurry (hone on top of the pictures) and the vintage natural combo without slurry. The kosher coticule is a bit grittier than the vintage one.

Shaved yesterday and today with the Le Chevalier: she takes a very keen edge and gives an irritation-free shave.
One thing I don't like about this razor: the large part of the tang covered by the scales when the razor is open. For the sake of comparison I pictured it with a random razor of my rotation. That bit of the scales really gets in the way when stropping. Any thoughts?
