7/8 Wacker Rasiermesser "Old Sheffield" Straight Razor - eBay (item 220488787038 end time Oct-08-09 17:31:07 PDT)

wonder if this person is associated with shavingshop - otherwise - he has some explaining to do with using the shavingshop picture and text.

Since the location is Ft. Worth TX, I assume it is listed by Shavingshop. Don just had a Livi listed as well.

yeah - I saw the location - I guess I have not heard of anyone else except for Mr. Crowley.

How does the 1/4 grind wacker compare to the wacker wedge?

Yep, I've got one of those 6/8 full hollow Wackers, and it shaves like a dream!

Do you mean the 1/4 grind?

How can you tell on the site which sells Wackers what grind it is? Is this just something one has to ask when buying?

They are all full Hollow except the ones noted as not. (Only 2, 1wedge and 1 1/4 grind)

Hope this helps.

Gentlemen,

I bought my Wacker 6/8" Spanish point "Antik" from John Crowley at Shavingshop.com.

I found the site rich with Wackers and the service impeccable. If you drop John a note, I am sure he can answer your questions about grinds.

Regards,

Obie

John is great. Just got my Friodur from him and it shaves very good. You will not go wrong with any of his razors.
