Thread: Paper testing razors

Yeah, as I noted, it's pretty tough to tell at this magnification level. The reflection of the edge near the apex looks different to me from the first shave ready shot and the post-paper shots afterward. And that's about all we have to judge the damage at that scale. Now whether that's actually edge damage or just lighting I can't say - that's why I mentioned lighting previously. Regardless, if you got a shave after the paper cutting without stropping the damage isn't catastrophic. If you'd say you couldn't do more than that little bit of shaving though without stropping, there definitely was some damage done. I would still recommend folks should be hesitant to try that after bevel set, lol.
