Robin posted this review of his lovely Wacker ..... razor that is ... here and reading it stimulated me to go to John Crowley's Shaving Shop. The rest is history. So I don't know whether it was the devil made me do it or Robin's review but I am now patiently waiting for the postal service to knock on my door with these beautiful 6/8 quarter hollows and my first Heribert Wacker razors.
Edit, the title should read the devil OR not of :shrug:
Jimmy: I have a pair just like them, that I bought from John before Christmas. They are great shavers, so you have something good to look forward to. :tu
:)Jimmy, shame on you, you know it wasnt the devil or Robin that led you down this road of shaving nirvana and monetyary ruin!:boohoo:
Excellent. Wacker of Borg, you will be Solingenfied and all that.
I've read some rather favourable reviews of the ones you got yourself there, Jimmy. Just wait what happens once Herr Wacker runs out of blanks or otherwise goes out of business. A Chronik will pale in the light of the truckload of gold these razors will bring you. :)
Ummmm... Enough rambling, on with the food fair. Bulgarian wines can actually be quite good...
Regards,
Robin
I'm sure it was Robin. He's also the reason that a Wacker is next on my list.Quote:

Very nice indeed! And why buy one when you can get a pair!
It probably was Robin. I'm blaming him if my resolve fails. I've been looking longingly since he mentioned his!
Gentlemen:
I know how Jimmy feels about that pair of Wackers. They tempt me every day as I pull up the Shave Shop site. One of these days my resistance for them shall crumble.
Thank you, Jimmy.

Congrats Jimmy. I look forward to reading your review of the latest additions to your stable after they arrive.
Wow, those are really nice. Maybe you can PM me the costs for those. I'd like to get one, maybe later this year.

Nice wun! :)
Wackers are great razors, and yours are good lookers! I love mine and I'm sure you'll enjoy these ones. I want to get another Wacker, especially before they become as rare as hens teeth...! I've already sprung for a TI this month though, so I think I'll have to hold fire for now..!
Its always nice to see RAD in full flow! Especially as it makes me feel better about mine. Hehe! :D
Thanks for posting some pics Jimmy, and let us know how they shave!
Congrats Jimmy...those are beauties. :)

Nice pair you got there, Jimmy!
Maybe it's just an optical illusion but I could've sworn they were bigger than 6/8... :shrug:
No memory is so futile as that of a temptation resisted...congratulations on giving in and getting that nice pair of stout Wackers, Jimmy! They look capable of removing any amount or type of beard with little effort. Looking forward to the shave reports!
