Wacker 1092 Huntsman 7/8" Oxidized Carbon Steel Straight Razor, Full Hollow Ground, Buffalo Horn Scales, with Shave Ready Option (Factory Edge)

Description

This listing allows you to select (by Color option) either a factory-edge razor or a razor which has been made professionally Shave Ready post-factory (and thus honed, tested, and resealed) by a 'honemeister'; if you select the Shave Ready option, you will receive a razor which was opened but is significantly sharper than the factory edge, and your razor should only be shipped and sold by the merchant to assure the honing was performed the day dispatched (please note that Wacker themselves do NOT use any factory tamper seals, but if you choose "Factory Edge" you will receive exactly what Wacker exports). It is advised to not strop before the first shave if inexperienced (always strop thereafter). The Wacker "Huntsman" is an oxydized 7/8" model with big proportions and a modified-style square point - perhaps not exactly what one would term an everyday or everyman razor, but a special razor to be especially proud of for both form and function. It is ~8/8" from the spine to the edge and ~7/8" from spine grind to bevel plane, weighing a relatively massive 72.5 grams and having a 6.2mm thick tang. Supplied with a cardboard razor coffin (which is also made in Solingen), and entirely produced in Solingen, Germany.
