I got my boker "Tree Brand" 3 months ago new from a popular wet shaving vendor who isn't a member here. So for one reason or another I had it sitting til now. Today I decided to give it a go. So I lathered up and the shave.... Lasted about 3 seconds before I switched to the DE. I can't say that the razor was dull, it cut hair, but it pulled a lot and was not comfortable. Guess it wasnt Honed so well after all I'm just glad it wasn't my first razor, to show me what shave ready is like. At least I have the hones and the ability to improve on that edge.
