Just a few questions. Does your boker shave facial hair? Does your boker shave rough / beard pulling, with alot of irritation? Do you strop the razor before every shave? How many shaves did you attempt since last honing? what in fact is different about the shave of the boker compared to your others? Sorry for the dumb questions but curiosity is strong with me. Im just trying to see if its a matter of " It shaves the hair but my face is on fire when im finished" or "I cant finish a stroke without getting the blade hung up on my beard and it wont come off without pain" to the extreme " this razor is useless for shaving". Either way pictures of the edge and condition of the razor will get you a lot more answers from savvy members.
