Thread: Unhappy with wacker razor?

I love my wacker. But yea, paying 350 and not being happy with ith is a point of concern. I would imagine the vender would make it right if you contacted them.

I think the bottom line here is that you appear to be unhappy with it and even though most of us might think otherwise in thinking it's no big problem I can tell you with certainty, over time, each time you use it and the scales don't center it will bother you more and more and you will be sorry you kept it. I would try to exchange it for something else.

Are you in the states? The Wacker website Schärfe ist unsere Leidenschaft shows the price of the "Chevalier" to be 229 Euro ($298.81 USD). I've been thinking about ordering the "Chevalier" as I really like the Wacker razors. Like others have posted, once it has been properly honed it is a great shaver. Additionally, I would advise everyone to buy direct from Wacker.

Although long dead for anyone now reading after shaving (it was pretty average) I put the razor through a naniwa ss progression of 5k, 8k, 12k and it is an AWESOME shaver. I've got used to it closing slightly off centre (it will actually slightly clip scales unless directed) and still love it. Despite this if I bought another and it was the same I'd still be p****d for a couple of months, I want my new purchases to be spot on!

Hell, yah, a brand new (not resto) blade at that price should center perfectly. I'm with you 100% bro, and I'm surprised so many would accept such low standards. Your buying more than just a "good shave" when you buy a razor. It is a product, and QC applies to a razor just like any other. Buffalo horn may warp after a long while, but no reason why it shouldn't be perfectly straight when new--- no reason whatsoever.

Ok read this treat. As i paid $ 360- you should expect that he can close without hitting the scales.(new or a restored one)
Not exactly centered is ok, for me ....but if he touches the side I would contact the vendor.
You have a large amount paid for it and he may also be ok for that money.

Not happy ... complain! satisfied with it, just enjoy shaving!
have fun and enjoy your wacker, they are good shavers Love mine.

Dam you bmf, the last thing I need is another website showing beautiful razors for sale!! I think I'm going to buy a Wacker haha. How do I order from that site?

I got Wacker Calssic 2 and I'm very happy with it. No problem with the buffalo horn scales. The razor was shave ready, but I got better shave after honing it.
