6/8 Wacker Quarter Hollow French Point - buffalo horn (dark) : Shaving Shop - luxury classic wet shaving products - straight razors

I second that. John Crowley at the ShavingShop is a great guy to do business with. He'll put a really sharp, nice edge on your new Wacker.
BTW we also have a Wacker razor club, with pictures of some nice razors.
thanks for the help that is a nice site now i just have to make up my mind on what to buy so many choices!!!!!!!!
Get that set that was suggested to you above. It includes a 1/4 hollow and a wedge.
Once you pick up that wedge (if it has a good edge on it) you will be hooked.
That set is the only way to get a hold of the wedge, at least that I have found.
I also have that 1/4 hollow with the black scales posted above, i prefer the wedge. But the wacker's in general use a great steel, i love mine.
Get the wedge, and you can send me a thank you message later.
Not kidding, get the wedge, you will love it.
Actually, you can buy them seperately now like the above poster mentioned. Get the wedge.
Here is the pictures, excuse the oiled blades. The wedge is on the left, then the 1/4 hollow that comes in the set, then the 1/4 hollow like pictured above.
Also, fwiw, the 1/4 hollow that comes in the set with the blonde scales, is more like a 3/4 hollow. Not even close to the grind of the other 1/4 hollow in the picture (which is a true 1/4 hollow) Not sure if this is a fluke or if this is how they all are but it's worth mentioning.
It doesn't matter because you are going to get the wedge and thank me later for it. :o
