Wacker Straight Razor with Dorco Blade?

[dstan]

New to the forum. I have several Wacker Straight razors with Dorco blades. Does anyone know the story associated with these? The scales are wood and marked "Wacker" while the blades are clearly marked "Dorco".

Pictures would help.

Also: never tell people: "I used to shave with a cartridge in the morning, now I just use my Dorco/Whacker." They might misinterpret.

Wacker may have obtained old blade stock and finished them? I have seen Wacker-finished Bartmann-branded blades, for instance.

If I’m not wrong, Herr Wacker used to be an employee of Dorco and he got some blanks from them around 10-15 years ago.

Others here will probably have more accurate information
