I agree. I only saw his last video where he summed up his experience.To be honest, he could have done a better job honing that razor. From type of strokes, amount of work at each stage and so on, a lot of things could have been done differently. When your edge after a "full progression" looks pretty rough (unfortunately, image quality is crap), then you can't ask much from that edge. After a second "progression" and a shave, he mentioned the edge was better than the first time.
I am surprised Boker took it back though.
After 1st progression, before shaving:

I have the exact same type of razor. I had to hone it a few times, but that was probably just because I was too gentle the first time I honed it. I have never had a Böker razor that had issues with the steel.
