My first month with a straight was about as yours and with the very same type of Boker Extra Hollow. I couldn't get it to shave well, so I honed it on my new Nortons. Still couldn't get a good shave. It would grab, dig and cut if I kept going. Finally decided the "blade was just too thin" for my beard. I went to heavier blades and progressed slowly on. I put the Boker up, and basically forgot about it for a year. Recently I was checking, cleaning and Renwaxing razors and came across that Boker. I pulled it out and looked at the edge with a lighted loop. Nothing more had to be said. I realized that the thinness of the grind had little to do with my prior troubles. The edge was terrible, I had really botched the honing, and prior had ruined the edge from SRD with poor technique.
I honed this razor a week or two ago and the shave was nothing short of excellent. None of my beginning problems were anything to do with the razor or grind. All me!!! That Boker has become my preferred razor since then.
Maybe get yours honed, work on technique (keeping the plane of the razor flatter to the face) and good prep. I promise, when it all comes together, I'll bet you're going to really like that razor!! :D
