Switched from Parker Shavette to Boker King Cutter...WOW!
First a little background:
After MANY years of using an electric (rotary type) razor, I really started getting tired of the razor burn, especially on my neck. It was a daily occurance. I was going to work with a red neck each and every day. My grandpa used a straight razor for years, and I decided it was time to grow up.
Bought a cheap Parker SRW "Shavette" with Shark blades for about $40 on Amazon. Added some Colonel Conk's soap (four different kinds). Been doing this for two weeks or so, and only had very minor cuts the first week.
Got my Boker King Cutter in the mail yesterday from SRD after watching almost every single video Lynn put on YouTube. Took and shower and lathered up. Not ONE knick or cut with the Boker, both against and with the grain Unbeliveable difference from the Shavette. Got a really good three inch strop, watched Lynn on YouTube another 2-3 times, and gave it a good stropping. Man that thing is sharp and cuts nicely.
Since all I own now is a Boker and a cheap Shavette with 200 blades, what advice do you guys have for my backup razor? I am sure I will need honing a few months from now, and definitely don't have the skill to match the job SRD did on mine right out of the box. Gosh I am so beyond impressed with SRD, wish I found this months ago.
Thank you!
