Böker Damascus Steel Straight Razor Shave and Review 

Totally absorbing - as always. The enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you.

Your videos have really helped me improve my shaving technique and found that I cut myself less and try to follow the same routine as your self thanks for the pointers it's been very helpful.

Thank you for another great video Geofatboy. Your videos are just great to watch and learn from.

Str8 to the point with that beautiful Böker Geo. Loving all the new intros and backgrounds of your recents videos, keep em coming brother. More Power to you Sir and ShaveNation! The Admiral

Your method of using your finger to trim/shave the back of your neck from over a year ago was fantastic. My barber tells me I always look very polished. Thanks GEO!!!

you always show a great shave geo with tons of experience. i hope one day i get as good as you with a straight razor. im buying my first dovo and paddle strop bit pricey but hey its still Christmas lol so why not. so looking forward trying it out. thanks for all the advice you give to us beginners with a straight razor.

Love straight razor with Damascus steel metallurgy ! And, a great opening for the video !

I don't know about anyone else but I have learned a lot from watching your videos, very informative...

So I did my first 'straight razor' shave this week, sort of, and I didn't cut myself! I received a very inexpensive shavette style razor for my birthday and went and bought some Wilkinson Sword blades and gave it a go. I watched a bunch of your videos and employed many of the techniques you have shown and it went ok. I applied very little pressure and by no means was it a close shave: in fact I finished with my old standard razor like %99 of the rest of the population uses. It was a good first experience though and I will continue to practice and get better. Thank you for the videos and keep up your great work, it really helps people like me and brings new members into the club. When I'm ready, I'll be looking for the right razor for me and I hope you and Shave Nation can help. Thanks again.

Really nice to see you shave with a straight and you made it look so easy. I've never shaved with a straight but maybe someday I will. Great video, as always!Chris

I remember back in the day when I would get a shave at the barbershop. The barber would hot towel twice. The second hot towel was after he had lathered my face up. After the second hot towel, he would lather again and go to work with the straight razor. It was fantastic.

wooohhh! Exelente trabajo me boy a comprar la Boker Damascus Razor y felicitaciones a GEO,por hacer este excelente demostración de como rasurarse la barba a lo CLASICCO.

Amazing straight razor! Nice work

loving the audible feedback. Great shave..

I started shaving with a safety razor 1 year and 3 months ago now thanks to your videos Geofatboy 3 months ago I also bought a straight razor, I will admit I have not used it as much as I should have, but I am determined to master the straight!

Hi Geo - thanks for all your videos. I learned a lot from them. Is there any chance of showing us how to use a Kamisori?

I loooove the sound it makes

I only use Böker and Thiers Issard for my shaving. I have the same Damast straight razor and it is my favorite. Only with this blade I dare to go against the grain on the upperlip... Nice video Geofatboy. Also a nice recording of the damast steel when cutting hair.

Not even capable of growing stubble yet,still love watching these vids :') Damascus steel razor is fookin joocy

Great, helpful commentary, Geo.

That sound is amazing!)

Geo - great razor great shave. I am always enjoying your videos. I am from Germany and saw this beauty in a Newsletter from a local dealer. - I must tell you Geo that app. 3 years ago I learned DE shaving from your videos threfore always happy to receive a notification abt. New uploaded video from you. I have a straight razor too but so far using it by far too seldom - too much respect and probably not my comfort zone . Regards from Germany Christoph

Love straight razors. I'm planning to buy Boker Damast Horn 5/8 Spanish Point razor, which will be ideal for ideal lines of facial hair.

Very nice razor, excellent video Geo. This is coming from Lee Majors (The Bionic Man).

Nice $900 straight! That's insane!!! I'm not opposed to paying $200, 300 or even $400 for a beautiful custom...BUT THIS is just out of the question! Enjoy your videos and products bro!

Glad you used the Damascus blade mate as I have been tossing up to get either stainless steel, carbon, steel of this Damascus type my only problem of course is like how much do they cost. Have got my eye on a kit with a Damascus blade but I doubt very much I could afford what you can use.

Geo, I got the other Boker Damascus from you a while back---I don't treat it as a collectors item--I use it often--amazing razor, gives me great shaves! I personally honed it once--super sharp and smooth. Appreciate you doing another straight razor video. I should have let you try mine before I bought it!

Very cool razor. Very loud, audible as it sweeps away the stubbles in seconds. Smoothly even after the first pass. Simpsons brush always rules. Real royal shave. Also nice looking landscape, on background, and bandana. By the way I talked about adding value to a razor after you use. You can call it a signature series from George Fatboy

very cool man. it's been a while since we've seen a straight razor video.

awesome str8rzr Geo! thank you for sharing... Mutha Latha! 😆💈

I need some help,does all the straight razor shaves the same,i want to have one but don't want to spend too much money on it

very cool razor I'm with you all the way when it comes to Taylor of old bond street sandalwood the smell takes me back to when my dad used to take me to the barbers as a boy

Great shave sir

Awesome razor. Did you ever get rid of it.

Can you just do one pass...opposite to the grain...S to N? Or, is there a good reason to do 2 passes? N/S then S/N? (I've never u sed a safety or straight)...

Beautiful Boker. I wish it was a 6/8 though. Me love me a good Boker.

If you're interested, here's the same Boker Damascus Razor #006 manufactured: shavenation.com/collections/boker-straight-razors/products/boker-damascus-steel-5-8-straight-razor-ebony-handles-006-made

hi, geo. when i bought the boker's straight razor. it got some oil on the blade. should i wash it out?

Bravo!!!!

Geofatboy, how many stones would or should you use to hone/sharpen a straight razor

I'm wondering......... What exactly is it that makes the sound of the hairs being cut when shaving with just one blade?

What steel do you prefer @geofatboy ? Carbon, stainless, or damascus?

Did you hone it first or does it come that sharp out of the box? Is damascus steel harder to hone?

I just bought it. lol. to put next to my synthetic ivory/bone boker damascus

On which highway you are trying to shave? 😄

😀😊👍🏼 Now That’s a Close Shave 😮😀😊

The sound of this is very loud ! My cheap shavette with derby blades doesn't make this sound... It just glides smoothely and silently on my skin and shaves all the hair off as it goes ! Is this loud scratching sound a straight razor thing ?

Its about time you feature a straight; not interested in "Safety" razors.. Geo about a year ago i bought a 6/8 Boker Elite, its awesome, but real heavy, i have to save for some Shapton stones, i have it so sharp now it will instantly cut below the surface of your skin, it just doesn't shave well, need more practice honing, to date i have 540 shaves, getting pretty good by now, i can even shave faster than you, guess i had a good mentor, thanks.....Karl p.s. i always put baby oil on my blades when done shaving, works well against corrosion...

GEO! How does it feel to shave with a $1,300.00 razor? MUST BE NIZE!!!

When I shave it's NEVER this loud - is the audio compressed, or is your beard really that stiff? Mine is about as soft as the hair on my head, which makes it harder in general to get a clean shave... Maybe I need some Damascus or Japanese steel?

Do these need to be loaded with a double edge razor?

Hey, Geo, it's kind of logical that, on the second pass, you use a thinner layer of lather so as to be closer to an already somewhat mowed-down beard. That's the rationale, right? Having a thicker layer of lather on the second and/or third pass provides no special function, or does it? Lastly, with all the audible feedback your microphone picked up, that shave (i.e. with the Boker Damascus) didn't result in a BBS shave, did it? Still, it was satisfactory and/or satisfying enough for you, eh. From what I heard, in spite of the very smooth appearance, I figure that the goal is not a BBS shave each time you shave, correct? Thanks, Geo. There are multiple videos of yours on every aspect of wet-shaving, so much so that you now primarily dedicate your attention to some other area of life. Might there be, in the future, provided that somehow you discover an area that needs more clarification or demonstration, something to compel you to make other wet-shaving videos, besides on different and/or new products in/on the market? Whatever the case, Geo, thank you. Hope everything's fine in your life, regardless of your video-making activity or lack of it. Cheers, dude.

Wow there geo, careful you don't get hit.

thats the same shaving cream i use

From which country/city does geofatboy come from ?

love the blade. How much does it go for?

AAAH this must be the razor The Stallion uses quite a bit. I always thought he was saying BOCA, not Boker, damn Rhode Island accents, I must say, Geo, you pronounced it BOCA as well.

bravo geo bout time a straight razor vid but i have to ask did your lady kick you out or something your not shaving in that nice bathroom no more cheers

It seems the TOBS didn't made your whiskers soft enough and for that reason your razor edge looks a little bumpy on your skin, not to mention the exaggerating "singing" of your Boker blade on your first pass, despite the fact you've been using a hot towel at the beginning

Ciao from Italy... Are going to sell that secondo hand Damascus Boker? If Yes let me know in private message! Thanks Antonio

Hahah, yeah! Can I please shave with a used razor blade?

Far Out !!!

Prison Mike?

Sounds like a steel brush brushing a stone. never used straight razors BTW.
