Thread: I use pastes...

I have 0.1 micron, you can see the result in post #96 of the thread I posted above.

The bevel edges are quite shiny, but the actual edge is less than impressive. it had some chipping, and also is pretty wavy (that isn't really visible in that pic). I believe this is because the edge got too thinned out by going all the way out to 0.1um on a flat hone (or in my case lapping film on precision granite plate).

My next test will be to put a couple of sheets of paper behing the lapping film for some cushion for the effect seen here


We'll see how it goes

I haven't done much with the paper backed lapping film.

However I did finally manage to get a decent pic of the slight edge rounding going on with the Crome Ox hanging strop.

First image:
Otto Busch Worldmaster 200x, you can see how the lighting has highlighted the slight rounding of the edge

Second pic is the edge at 1000x
It shows that the edge may be rounded in realtion to the rest of the bevel, but the actual cutting edge is still sharp as can be.

Yeah, it's a nice shaver!
