For May 22nd: Wacker 6/8 "Allround Blonde" full hollow
Being at least 120 years the warranty on the blade "Five year guarantee Electric" is since long void. Even so this early full hollow still is a proof of masterly craftsmanship. It might have been one of the first razors grinded in ERN’s revolutionary die Hexe (The Witch) grinder. Once you get used to the +3" edge it's a marvelous shaver. I use it sparingly to make sure that this artefact won't be lost for the future generations. I once in a while take it out of the cabinet and look at it to contemplate its history and admire its beauty.

Another turn on the giant VR Sheffield before putting it away until its turn comes back in the rotation
Discobolo, probably from a Dorko blank. This razor, according to my friend Paolo Cinotti, one of the best Solingen experts, might have been sold to customers in high end hotels around the 50's
this one deserves respect. Nice setup Arne !Being at least 120 years the warranty on the blade "Five year guarantee Electric" is since long void.

Thank you
I've just begun to realise the great qualities of mine (15/16), but I still have respect for its size.
I love art nouveau razors. This one is great, thank you for sharing
You're a much braver man than I amAnother turn on the giant VR Sheffield before putting it away until its turn comes back in the rotation
Dear Antoine the day you present a razor that isn't among what dreams are made of I'll be very surprised. Sorry I just remembered that you own at least one of Seraphim's Gold Dollars but then again they are very special indeed.Discobolo, probably from a Dorko blank.

Thank you. A special setup for special occasions.

Nice one. Haven't seen that one before.
All the straights I've seen stamped 14 look so much alike.
