I bought a new boker king cutter 5/8 from invisible edge in the UK. It came shave ready, the guys at invisible edge had opened the package and resealed it (presumably after honing it).

I have no prior experience with straight razors so I can't comment on any other makes etc and can only give me opinions on the razor I received.

The one I got had a dead even grind, the spine was straight and uniform. Its a full hollow grind and edge itself was thinner and more delicate than I expected. In all though it is a very beautiful bit of steel and I have no regrets about buying it (which is more than I can say For some expensive kitchen knives I've bought). If you buy a boker and its like the one I got I'm sure you would be very happy.
