Thread: New Wackers

I have been keeping my eye on a wacker on eBay. It's the jubilee all black 6/8. I have heard people have not been all that happy with resent Wackers, does anybody have one or have any insight.

Sold one on the bay last month,was a fantastic razor.They can just be a little bitchy to hone is all.

Nice, I just send my blades out to get honed I am afraid to attempt to learn and ruin them

I have 6 new Wackers, including the massive Jungermeister, 2 Spanish point Stainless Inox blades, and a few others. This they still have the factory hone on them and I love each of them better than my Dovo Bergischer Lowe that I had sent out for honing. The worst of ghe six, is still the best shave I've ever had and there is so much potential for improvement after I send them out to be honed professionally. The only thing lacking is the nostalgia from a 100+ yr old blade. Otherwise, I will always love my Wacker like its my own appendage.

Another here w/ 1/2 dz. The heavier blades are all I'd expect. The full hollows both have warp or wave. 'Not encouraging for the hollow lovers. I'd verify there's a return policy if its squiggly. Too much coin to have a serpentine edge.
