8/8 Boker shaving comparison test. 

Thanks Mick , it'll take getting used too , every razor is a learning experience 🙏.

at least one dress size had me rolling over 😂. That said loosing so much mass on a small frame takes it toll. regards dapper shaves

@geoffsmith1616 @shaves123 Martin…If you really have taken up the attire generally adorning our lovely estrogen based units (as reported)…Please, please, please pass over the leg shaving videos. 😎

Thanks 🙏 Jacques , you and Gary are my litmus test of knowledge and experience, I was so envious of your shave with the Trevor razor 😜 , now I want one 😂🤣.

@@Martins-Shaves123 🤣 I feel the same about your #14 😈

I'm open minded on the 'benifits' of Damascus steel, homogenous rings better , early days for me , I'll do a comparison shave with a Filly ?

None of the three böker razor I have came with a concave bevel. Under magnification it looked like they had used a synthetic progression with too much pressure and too large grit jumps. I have also seen a video from the factory, where they finish on a dished 10k super stone.

I got a Böker 6/8 a couple of years back. The factory edge was reasonably serviceable. I marked the edge with a sharpie before I used a stone shaped on the Jarrod plate, long dimension. It immediately showed I was reaching the apex and a small portion back. It seemed to indicate that their first stone was more curvy than mine. I had not started using multiple radius stones at that point. I wish I’d have angled the razor to see how far back I could hit in the bevel. None of which matters to me, I would probably prefer to get new razors unhoned from the factory.

@@jpo31 now you mention that I saw that video there was some natural stones lying around and the guy finishes on 10k s/s

I'd love to try a TI Damascus, I didn't know they made one ?

@@Martins-Shaves123 I am a private like you. Thiers Issard are the only and the best. I tried all. I have Dovo, Boker and many others. I knew all! Dovo are horrible. All came not shave ready! So you must finish to hone!🤑 And if you have not enough experience and skill you will damage! BOker is mediocre especiallyvthe handle. Anyway its acceptable if you are a beginner. Others brands are not ok. Kamisori are very good!

@Zen Razor yes ! Sadly true , most new razors aren't shave ready 😪 😢. It puts new shavers off from experiencing the pleasure of a good straight shave .

@@Martins-Shaves123 My first 320,00€ of Dovo was cut like a triangle from a seller of knives declaring he hones razors!!🤮 The lesson is learn on a razor very economic becausecyou need to damage it to learn!🫡👀

Hi Gary, the big Boker 14 is very similar to the big Filly14's ...jury is out on this Damascus as takes getting used too 😅.
