Thread: Wacker Differences

Good morning, Gentlemen.

I've been pondering adding a third Wacker to my rotation, and was curious to know if any of the community here has experience with the INOX models and/or the "Red Head's". Any thoughts on how these compare to the Wacker All-Around's?

I have honed a couple Reds, nice shavers. I have no less than 6 in my rotation and like all of them. I would have to say that the 6/8 round point wedge is the cleanest shaving on one of the top 3 in my collection (about 60 blades right now). I have a preference for heavy grinds. The Stainless can be trickier to hone, but take a good edge in general.

I've only got two Wackers and they are both heavy grinds and great shavers. From what I hear the quality is going to be consistent from one model to another. I did a review on my two which you can find in the SRP straight razor review section. Really happy with them still.

If you buy one and don't like it, I'd be happy to offer you an inexpensive, long term storage solution.

I bet you would!

Thanks for the feedback. I was leaning toward the Red Head already - you may have swayed me!
