Thread: Can t get my Boker Silver Steel sharp

I saw your thread title and for a second thought you were the guy that sent me this Boker to hone, since he also couldn't get it to shave quite as well as his other razors... Then I saw you were from Spain and not Boise Idaho

I do NOT know if yours has the same issue but I have seen several like this


Can you see the issue with the Boker ???





Here maybe if I show you an Elskiltuna SSA razor that came with it for comparison





Both together makes it quite obvious






The heel on the Boker is allowing the stabilizer to get in the way of proper honing, it needs to be re-contoured so that the edge is standing proud to the hone just like the SSA is doing ... The worst part is the more honing that is done before the heel is fixed actually makes the issue worse, and you can see the beginnings of a heel hook forming already... Off to the DMT 325 to take that out

This might help you it might help others,, Good Luck on yours



edit:

Before I get accused of Boker Bashing
I am not doing that, here is another Boker I honed last night with a nicely done heel...
Simply pointing out potential problems
