Is the Jungmeister 7/8 Wacker "Jungmeister" Spanish Point - blond buffalo horn : Shaving Shop - luxury classic wet shaving products - straight razors

better than this below?

I'll take the better one. Thanks.

We recently had a discussion on good or best razors. I recommend consulting the FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions - Straight Razor Place Wiki. (What is "a good razor"? What is "the best razor"?) All Wacker razors I have seen in the last 18 months were of high quality, and you should be fine with either razor. I haven't shaved with either of the razors you mention, but have generally found that I like some razors others do not, and vice versa. Therefore, I would be cautious to recommend a razor to anyone else without mentioning that they may not like its shaving characteristics - too many variables involved.
