I had the Boker I purchased Shave ready and then a Worcester Razor Co razor I honed as a test. I did the right side of my face with the Boker and left side with the Worcester.
Boker pulled like a mule under a heavy load. I did not strop it initially and even stropping it did not help much on a second pass.
The Worcester I honed pulled but pulled a lot less than the Boker. Seeing this was the first razor I have attempted to hone and cost me 2 bucks at an antique store I am extremely happy with the initial results.
Time to hit the hones with both though and try again tomorrow.
