This Whacker is fitted with Rooiboswilg scales and wedge The tang and heel design ensures this razor sits very comfortable in hand, despite its fairly heavy weight. The blade has a height of 28 mm and the razor weighs 105 grams, it has a near wedge grind with a 6 mm spine thickness that ensure this beast has lots of meat to work with, the razor is shave ready. Near wedges generally don't shave as close as half or full hollows, but they do slice through those whiskers with less resistance, we adore them for their ability to do a single run from top to bottom and leave a piece of skin that is wide, clear and smooth like a firebreak on a bushveld plaas

The barber's notch looks great on this design and allows for the easy opening of the blade by one handed operation.

The Bundu Whacker is range of razors that are meant to fill a void in the market, and as with many new product lines, cost to customer was the biggest criteria. Our main aim is to collaborate with  Andre from Grobler Cutlery to produce a handmade razor for around 2-3 k. Off course we had to limit the time spent on fit and finish, but believe us when we say these razors are going to find regular use from novice and experienced shavers alike because they shave well and are very comfortable in hand. Despite the limitations we had on allowable input costs of these razors, the coolness factor was certainly not lost, these are some damn pretty creations and I personally prefer them over most vintage razors I have used, and even some new razors from larger manufacturers. They are all created from raw materials and unique in appearance.

 

Keep the scales in shape by simply applying our 'My bliksem balm' to it, and giving a quick buff a few minutes after,
