Yeah, what about Wackers?

Seems like there are not that many happy owners of a Wacker around here?
Is it because people are afraid to buy one because some guys on B&B have reported bad experiences with them or do they generally not earn a good reputaion here?

In my case, I have three Wackers, only one did not arrive shave-ready.
The third was honed and stropped ready in no time but still is a little "robust" due to a somewhat thick/stiff blade (itīs the 1001 Feinster Hohlschliff).

I always thought american users are lucky since the Wacker-razors sold by sshop.com almost cost the same (sometimes even less) than they do when directly buying them from Wacker in Germany?
Only that sshop.com has more models/variations to choose from than Mr. Wacker has left in his shop.
