  • 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.
