You can try his website.

There's a set on this page that includes one. You can get it by itself for 145 euro.

I have this razor and really like it

Sure. They go by names like Puma and Dorko

check out john crowley site he has a bunch and he'll put a killer edge on it for you

it's the www.theshaveshop.com or the shavingshop i can't remember off hand

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.
