Welcome to SRP! I am no stranger to Monterrey NL, since my wife's family lives there. I have enjoyed visiting the city very much, with the exception of the sultry summer heat, and I live in Arizona! The pictured Boker looks like it has minimal hone wear and an even bevel, and of course it's sharpness is guaranteed. The scales have a ding or scratch, but it looks very small. I would contact the vendor and ask if there was a repair to the scale. You can't beat a Boker for a good shave-I have had many and never one that did not hone up to be a good shaver.

Greetings to you. Glad you found the SRP. There is an amazing amount of information to be found here and if you can't find it; just ask and someone should be able to help you.
That Boker looks like it should be a good one.
I noticed that gugi has a razor and strop set for sale in the classifieds. It might be another option for you to consider. I have bought a couple of razors from Ivan (gugi) and have been very satisfied. Drop him a PM and tell him what you are looking for and he will give you an honest answer about his items and if they meet your needs.
Best of luck and enjoy your razor.

Hello JonnyBoy6...Welcome to SRP.
Glad to hear that you have decided to take the plunge and enter the world of str8 razor shaving. That 5/8' Boker sounds nice, but wahtever razor you finally decide on make sure that it is professionally honed before you buy it. As a newcomer to str8 razor shaving, you should also consider getting a razor set that would include, at the very least, the razor and strop. There are other more complete sets that include a brush, soap and brush stand. Doing same may save you some money, rather than purchasing everything a la carte.
Take care--and smooth shaving.

Thanks!
Thanks to everyone for your input and for welcoming me into the site. I will look more into the Boker and also some sets as some of you suggested. Hopefully I'll be able to place an order this week since I can't wait to get started!
