    Thanks for the responses, everyone - and thanks for the welcome, Skippy!

    Sounds like the best bet will be to contact John at the Shaving Shop and see if he is able to order the model I'm interested in. Barring that, I will have to brush up on my (nonexistant) German skills!

    I'll update this thread when I know more...

    Cheers!

    There are several websites where you can type in English and it will translate into many different languages, including German. You can also use it to translate their reply into English from German.

    Yeah, let's just hope the translator translates it correctly. My computer widget translator is not that good.

    I tried that once. It is a literal translation which makes for interesting reading. Instead of stand table leg up it translated to give leg erection.

    I have several Wacker's and enjoy all of them. I got my blades from John over at shavingshop.com

    I got an email from Heribert Wacker just the other morning. I was inquiring on a 5/8 in a round point. He says he has made them so I had to write back to see if he has any made up at the moment. I like 5/8 but I like a round point much better than the Spanish Point. I think if I were going to spend the $200+ on a Wacker razor I would like to at least get the type of point I want.
