Hi. I got a Razor that I would like to get some replaceable blades for.
One side reads E. Weck & Co - NY USA
Other side reads Trade SEXTOBLADE Mark
I'm fine with anything really. I just don't know where to look or even if these are still generically made. Thanks
put picture up here - i can find them for you
ok i will show these to him and ill let you know soon as i do
The hair shaper blades for the Fromm are the same size. I like the Personna hair shaper blades form Sally's beauty supply.
I use the Weck when I am away from home sometimes; it works well but is easier to cut yourself with. I use the Weck with the guard to trim errant ear hairs. My wife likes to use the Weck on the nape of my neck when she cuts/shaves my head.
I know people say it is a hair shaper blade and it will not work. I say, my mileage varies and I get very comfortable shaves with a hair shaper blade. It is not as nice as a straight, but it is not the horrid ordeal that some people make it out to be.

Thanks, spazola...that's awesome...now I know what this thing is for. So this is a hair shaper, and I am assuming it's not intended to be used as a shaver even though it can be. What makes it not as good, are the blades just not sharp enough? thanks
I think that the blades are sharp enough to be comfortable. It size of the blade and the heft of the razor (or lack of) that I don’t like. I find that I have to pay very close attention when shaving with the Weck as opposed to a straight where I am more or less on auto pilot. I have both a Weck hair shaper and a Sexto blade (which I believe was made for shaving) I like them both, but not as much as my regular straights.

The reason I wanted to use this one is because it has a U.S. and a medical logo on the scale, and I'm going to do medicine for the army so it works out nice as a travel razor. I went ahead and ordered some of the personna blades to try out with it. Hopefully i'll get some good results. Thanks again for the help
