    This razor isn't quite as comfortable, for some reason:

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Seraphim, your blade is in good shape after so many shaves. And, I bet your blade is in better shape than some might think after viewing the images. When I started using the Radio Shack 100x microscope, there were some "flaws" in my blade that look quite similar to the "flaws" seen at higher magnification in your pictures. But, I noticed they had a predominate direction. On a hunch, I wiped the blade again, but this time with the last swipe of the cloth in the other direction. Sure enough, now the "flaws" in the blade had the opposite predominant direction.

    I suspect some of the "flaws" seen in your blade are simply droplets of oil, or some other substance. It surprised me how difficult it was to completely rid a blade of these droplets or streaks.

    The diagonal streaks are oil residue. The edge I do not think is obscured by this.

    The faint lines perpendicular to the edge are caused, I believe by the Dovo white paste.

    I agree. That is why I said at the top of my post that some might interpret the pictures as showing flaws (in the bevel) that were not flaws.

    Is it just me or does the very edge, I mean the edge of the edge of the edge, look really bright in comparison to the rest of the bevel? The last little 1/100mm.

    I agree.

    I like to put edges on the edge of my edges when honing!

    Would you use tape?

    I would add a Tetenus vaccine as well!

    Bluto's edge test looks a bit risky...
