Rasiermesser - Welt der Wunder Wissensthek

Even if its in German, still very interesting to view, thanks for posting the video.

Thank you, hajo, for posting the link to the video. Wacker makes fine razors. Even though I did not understand a word of what was said, it was still good to view Herr Wacker's work.

For a second I thought I missed an episode of Game of thrones!!:D.

Cool vid.

Great find, great post! Thank you, I throughly enjoyed that...even though I speak kein deutsch (no german).

Thanks for the link.
