I've done the exact same thing myself.
A vintage Wacker razor with three pins, and a very minty 6/8 blade! Amazing!
Inbound from the Bay ...
6/8" Jernbolaget. Needs some scale work. Looking forward to trying a third Eskilstuna maker.

I've been searching for a Dublin made razor for a while. Managed to finally pick up this Thos Reynor off ebay for US$17. The scales are ivory but one has a chunk missing. I'll have a look in my spare parts bins and see if I've got another matching side somewhere. If not I'll re-scale it. The blade looks like it should clean it nicely.
very nice profile!
And one more close up.
That's a class act right there! If it ever leaves your possession I know a guy who would take REAL good care of it. Wink wink.
Sweet mother......
Hi all
Seeing a few Koraats in this thread so thought I'd share a pic of my new (and first) Koraat razor which arrived today.
It's a 14-2.0, but when I saw the customizations offered for that model, I wasn't that blown away by the options. Thankfully, Ulrik was happy for me to raid another Koraat customization list to go a wee bit off-piste.
I added Black and White streaked horn as the scale material, chose a different scale design, and added some nickelsilver bullseye rivets and wedge.
Tomorrow's shave can't come soon enough
Cheers

Well, that was an outstanding shave! Great weight, and incredibly sharp, but smooth and comfortable with it so at no point did I feel like my life was in any kind of danger
Admittedly, I haven't got much experience with custom straights, having shaved with a plethora of mostly vintage razors and assorted shavettes, but consider me a convert.
Roll on tomorrow!
Finally got my hands on a fili. Not the best condition and not the 14 I was looking for but a 12 (my favorite number anyway) in cool green scales. Made an offer for 60 so feel like it was decent deal.
That's cool. Those scales are awesome!
A little MAAS polish, a rag and toothbrush, some elbow grease, and that should look awesome.
