Thread: Wacker 6/8 Alround - new acquisition

Nice looking Wacker. This is another Solingen maker I wish to try out some day. I have yet to find a German razor I haven't liked.

For what it's worth.

That is interesting. So the discrepancy would have to be due to a faulty conversion to fractions of an inch or measuring over two different distances. In any event you got a bonus on a fine razor.

Love Wacker. Only down point for me is where he puts his hinge pin now. You can see the difference in Longhaultanker's pic. The 2 top razors are current and the bottom one is old production.
