Thread: Finaly got one sharp enough to shave

I finaly got my old boker sharp enough to shave. I had to hold the spine off the hone ever so slightly to get a good edge. Could this be due to the way my grandad had honed it in the barbershop? I dont really want to take enough off this one to set the bevel. I shaved with it tonight and this was enough for me. It actualy shaved very good nearly as well as my dovo. Just to use his razor was enough. I will use it a few more times and put it up for future generations. Here is a picture if anyone cares. Any info on this razor would be appriciated.
