I'm not totally sure to be fair, it may very well be, from the description on Invisible Edge they say it's more like a 7/8 when measured from the top of the spine so it might be an optical illusion, though Boker obviously indicate it is a 6/8. This is my struggle though, just can't seem to find a lot of information on it.Apparently it's a "singing" razor ie a delicate full-hollow blade not a near-wedge hand-axe.
When I first saw the pic I thought it looked like a very wide blade but it seems to be only 6/8 which makes me wonder if it's shorter than usual?
Ah ok so with it being extra hollow and square point might not be the best bet unless I fancy getting skin grafts. It wouldn't quite be my first razor, but in terms of actual hands on experience it pretty much would be.It is a very pretty razor , one thing to note is it is extra Hollow , so if it is your first razor they may not be ideal.
Only experience i have with Boker is one of their vintage red injun which was excellent.
I was thinking more from the point of view that such a thin grind would be easier to damage when stropping etc , if you don't have your technique down , however if you have some experience and have worked out your technique that might be an issue.Ah ok so with it being extra hollow and square point might not be the best bet unless I fancy getting skin grafts.

Oh well I can always look on in envy until I get a bit more experience then revisit.
