I'm interested in buying a Wacker 5/8 Full Hollow 1/1 razor and the only thing I find is a Spanish Point. Now, I thought about posting this over at "Die WackerFans" sub forum, but, the Spanish Point may be more than just used by Wacker. I try to used round points and buy them when I can, and although I do have some square points or "spike" I really prefer the round point. It's just me, as well as liking 5/8 for a nominal size over larger 6/8 or smaller 4/8 sizes. Most comfortable shaves I have had have been with full hollows, my Imperial, "Extra Hollow Ground", my GOTTA 120 "superfine", the Wade & Butcher "Extra Hollow Ground", the Geo. Wostenholm "Superb" and etc. Again, it just a preference thing to me.

What is the take on shaving with the Spanish Point? Is it similar to spike points? It is odd to spend this much money on a razor when one of the best shaves I have ever had came from an Imperial razor (Extra Hollow Ground) that I got for the trade of a bottle of Ice Wine. I was the first one to hone and shave with it, and the box originally said $3.00, and inside was a notation saying $1.00, so I suspect the seller had $1.00 invested in the blade and could not go below that price and still make a profit. Imagine, a straight razor, new, of such quality for $3.00??!!

Back on track, just wanted to get some feedback on Spanish Point razors.
