W&B Wedge straight honed by yours truly, at 200x

Just thought it was interesting to see the differences.
Jeebus, you polished that W&B something fierce!
What hone progression and polishing steps did you use, and how is the shave?
Of course your not bragging.:D
Hey! You didn't take that last photo today
making up a story to go with the porn photo, I can't believe it
Thanks for the pics! On the first two pics of the DE blades, are we seeing the micro-bevel rather than the ONLY bevel? Does that make sense? I have some DEs that I put under the scope, and those blades actually have a TRIPLE bevel.

Shaved with it just this morning on two days growth......
Mmmmmm....MMMM! Mighty smooth!:D
The pics are all the same scale. The Feather, I believe, we are seeing the final two bevels at this magnification, and on the W&B, the bevel is 1/8" wide so we are only seeing a small portion of it!Quote:

Nice pics! Very nice job on honing that W&B!
Honed my Dovo Renaissance.
Pics at 200x, 500x, and 1000x
Honed on diamond lapping film, 9um, 6um, 3um, then crome ox on a hanging canvas strop. No leather stropping yet.
