  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: Böker 14er 8/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: The Cajun Blade - Wild Oud - Soap

  • Aftershave: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a shave test of my Böker 14er that I honed yesterday. The shave result was excellent, but the square point poked me a couple of times. It was the point and could not possibly have been my technique. ;-) That kind of behavior results in the death of pointy points. It will be muted and will speak no more.

I watched this video last night, great stuff! That razor is a real beauty.

Pointy points +-; 😄

Glad you like the 14er and thanks for the video!

The punctures are healing very well, thankfully. Outside of poking myself, the actual shave quality was very comfortable and close.

I've had a my fair share of this during the first couple uses with the Böker Abalone. Yet another lovely razor with thorn, like a rose :)

I really enjoyed the way the razor handled. Surprisingly light. Looking forward to using it again.
