I've used a shavette for six months, then my girlfriend gifted me a second-hand 5/8" Boker.
It had a slight frown, so I used some 800 - 1200 wet 'n' dry (on a thick glass surface) to fix it, then I set the bevel and honed it on my BBW / belgian coticule combo with progressive slurry.
After a while I noticed some issues, and my slightly-increased knowledge made me think there was something wrong with the razor itself.
Two months later, I bought (and restored) a vintage Wade & Butcher, and the difference was huge.
So, here are some pics of the Boker. Do you think the grind is asymmetrical?
I wrote to the Boker Facebook page, and they asked me to send the razor to their headquarters in Solingen. It could cost me more than buying a new vintage, I guess.
