Hi all

I am in need of some help. I am just about to embark on a purchase of my first Straight razor and I have a few questions.

A particular razor I have seen advertised (Boker "King Cutter") is described as having medium hone wear approx 1mm. I am presuming this to be the width of the ridge formed along the spine through honing, is this correct. Also does 1mm sound excessive, how much more honing is likely to be left in this razor. As I am in my middle years, will this razor see me out.

Thanks in advance

John
