Thread: Looking for a nice 7/8 square point

Hey everyone in the SRP community! I'm looking for some advice, resources and suggestions on finding a nice 7/8 square point razor.

My first razors were both 5/8, then moved on to a couple of 6/8 and now I want to try a nice 7/8. Over the last several months, I've been eyeing a Wakcer that was available at Fendrihan.com. I'm getting close to being able to purchase it and "POOF", it was gone and they don't have them anymore. I really liked it and was hoping to get that one. I have also looked at some nice TI razors in 7/8 that I am considering but really like the Wacker.

I've googled the Wackers and haven't had any luck finding any other places to buy them. Does anyone have other suggestions where I can purchase a new Wacker square point in 7/8? I'm not necessarily stuck on Wacker and am open to any suggestions. Who knows, I may be shown my "Holy grail" by you all.

Thanks!

+1 on Brad's suggestion. Give John Crowley (ShavingShop.com) a call and he will sure set you up with a Wacker or Friodur (or else)...Very nice guys to deal with

That is a nice one Dylan

OMG! I think I just found my "Holy Grial". LOL! I may have to sell something to get it but this is awesome! How does everyone like this? I know this is a 15/16 and a Spanish point but it's my first time to see this one that I remember. Thanks to everyone for the advice. Check this out!

It's personal preference. Personally, I don't like it. Not my style.

That's one of the ones John Crowley sells, I think...you'll see it on his website...he's got tons of others too.

I agree with Dylan on this...This particular one is not too much to my liking either (maybe too much gold or something).

Check out his shoulderless Wacker(s)...they are really nice

Holli4pirating,

I was just about to send you a PM, but since you responded, I'll just ask you here. I'm still interested in the Henckel. Especially, since it's only a third the price. Do you know anything about them? I see it says it measures 5 7/8. Does this mean only in length or do you know for a fact it's a 7/8 blade? One of the pics shows the tang being stamped "No stain". Do you know if this is stainless or carbon steel? I am kind of stuck on carbon steel because of how easy it is to hone. I know it takes a lot more care to keep carbon steel clean and free of water spots but that's just my preference. Please let me know what you know about it.

Thanks!
