No, my brother had one but I've never used one. I know it's a perception issue ony part. I just can't get it out of my head. You know what they say about perception and reality.

If you get a chance to try one I'd bet it would change your perception. The steel is very hard but once you get an edge it stays.

Thanks for replies Gents
I am looking at the limited edition Bicycle race 5/8 & Barbers Choice 5/8 & just to muddle it up a bit a Spanish point horn scaled Ralf aust.
If any member has got one of these razors can you let me knowing what you think of them.

They sure do make some nice looking carbon steel stuff though. It's great that they're still at it. I would love to see some new production here in America in the "razor belt."

Carbon steel is great stuff but I also like silver steel.

There is nothing wrong with stainless in a razor. As long as it's a quality alloy you couldn't tell the difference between it and carbon steel. I have a Dovo and a few Maestro Livi pieces I got years ago.

As far as Boker goes I have an LE Damascus they made a few years ago and it's a great razor.
