Zephyr, you might look back at page 4 of this thread.

Well, it's sharp now.. REALLY sharp. I did something I haven't done in quite a while, I sliced my skin on the jawline next to my right earlobe. Not paying enough attention as I thought.. "Wow, this...

You might call John on the phone an discuss it with him. He recently got back into employed from unemployed and may have not done anything to it before shipping. He probably would make it right with...

Shaved with the Wacker again tonight after I re-touced it up a bit more today. Many strokes on the 8K and then the 12K, alternating between strop and 12K until it felt like smooth gliding across the...

Glen, this link: Art.Nr. 1047 shows a Spanish Point in Buffalo Horn 6/8, although it doesn't have the 3 pin configuration. I'm sure you have his website, but in case you don't: Schärfe ist...

5/8 Spanish point. That can be easily changed... *s*

Great looking bunch!!! EXCELLENT photography as well!!!

I was hoping to get a Wacker 5/8 from John, but the 00 Frictionite razor hone I was selling on ebay sort of went sour. I specified no international bidders and the high bidder was in Australia with...

I've got another question of observation. I have seen Heribert Wacker (pronounced VaakeR) razors at John Crowleys site. I notice the Red Head with a Native North American Indian, and also the use...

Just a suggestion, but thin spine and that much distance 8/8 or 1" is quite a ways from spine to edge and you might try putting electrical tape on it and honing a NEW bevel to the one that is already...
