    Default Wow'd by Wacker

    I recently had the joy of shaving with a Heribert Wacker Chevalier and cannot speak highly enough of this razor. I don't even like full hollows and I love this razor. Most full hollow razors just tug and pull with me but this one shaved with the fury of a wedge. I took a gamble buying a full hollow Wacker, knowing I don't like full hollows, but this razor is unlike any razor I've ever used before and all the good things I've heard about Wacker razors I now know are true.

    I was told I would one day apologize to full hollows and love them. This is about as close as I'm going to get to giving that apology. Heribert Wacker has changed my mind on full hollows when it at least comes to his razors. I of course now know some full hollows get along with my face and now need to seek out more of them! I've already got a TI full hollow on the way to see if that one and I get along.

    Good to hear! I ordered one last week, and I'm anxious to try it out. Did you order it straight from the Wacker site?

    No I got it from shavingshop.com I thought of using the Wacker site but I haven't had to use German since my highschool days and I didn't know if they spoke English.

    Ah, OK. Well, I did as my German is passable. I just wanted an idea of how long I will have to endure this excruciating wait.

    Lots of fun with it!

    Is your Wacker the same as the ones sold by ShavingShop.com? They are advertised as blanks ground by Herr Heribert Wacker. I had my eye on the Limited edition 'Kullenrucken' with a beautiful gold washed spine.
    You raise the blade, you make the change
    You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
