Thread: New guy from Michigan

So it was not shave ready.
Do you have stones? How does it shave now? I would think not great.
It would be worth sending it out to have it honed properly so you can see the possibilities of what's can be attained when honed well.

Sounds like a good plan. Maybe I should. Have to find a place to send it.hope I can find a place locally. If not I’ll have to go online.

Beware of finding a local unless they are a member of a forum that shaves with a straight.
Seen many a good razor get trashed from someone who thinks they can but does not shave with one.
Unless they use one regularly I would avoid them, it doesn't hurt to ask!

I suggest letting only known members of the community hone your razor. There are guys here and on other forums that can do it for a fee. Some few will do it just for fun, if you pay postage, actually. This is not a big community. Everybody sort of knows everybody at least by reputation and by screen time. Internet self proclaimed honemeisters who are not known or respected on the forums should NOT be used.

Maggard Razors is in Adrian Mi. He's also a member here, (Undream) he'll fix you up (and runs a great brick and mortar store with all the supplies you'll ever need!

Welcome!!
You need to toss that Boker into the wind chime pile, else it may hurt you. Decent blades can be quite reasonable.
The man needs a razor I figure.

No respones required. A discussion of the razor should tell the truth.

Has nothing to do with Boker, Mike? The after picture is concerning... Too Much CroOx?
I hope it's just the lighting

Yeah....I don't even bother with the stuff, anymore. If it's dulling...a few passes on a finisher does more for less. IMHO
