Gents,
I love my Wacker razors, and there are other standouts in my collection that I enjoy immensely.
However, these are probably my favorite 7 razors of the bunch! They are all in mint condition, and are tremendous shavers (though I believe the Sub Cero to be unused).
Left row starting at top:
- Unused Second Generation Filarmonica 14 Sub Cero. I am growing a two week beard for its first shave, and will be fixing this situation a week from Monday. This razor came from an elderly lady in Michigan via EBay.
- First Generation Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple with gold on face still intact!
- Filarmonica 14 (JMP) reground to extra hollow by Salamanca with the Salamanca Stamp on the back of the tang. The cutlery shop that reground this razor 70+ years ago is still in business today! I am not sure if this was first or second generation...probably end of first, or beginning of the second based off the tang markings.
- Kron Vest 14 Gran Mogol Triple Medalla. There are not too many of these around, and this came to me in new old stock condition.
Right Row Starting at top:
- Circa 1924 French LE Hyalin 7/8 Frame-back...horn scales with the bark left on, and Sterling silver pins and washers. The gentleman I purchased this razor from bought it from a gent in Germany who took the time to restore it. The German had tremendous talent...the fit, finish, and look are simply stunning! I will also say that this particular razor is one of my top shavers.
- Circa 1850 The Celebrated For Barbers Use 9/8 Wade and Butcher; restored by Max Sprecher and dressed in his Blue Paua Shell Scales. Max did a tremendous job, and is a gentleman of tremendous talent. I cherish this razor.
- Heljestrand approximate 7/8 MK 133
I would assess the Le Hyalin, Kron Vest, and Salamanca to be irreplaceable. The other four would be very difficult, and costly to replace!
