I don't have camera 100x but i do have 200x and it just shows straight line too much magnification on 200x.
i have visitors(srp members) on 7th july.
i will make couple blades shave ready on that hone and let them shave . they can use microscope 100x and see the edge too.
Polished sawteeth that is why i got interested on it too. it shouldn't be looks like this.

Recently i have gotten strange stone.
Edge doesn't come out from this stone as a straight line.
It comes out saw tooth.

What kind of stone is it?

it is Japanese stone.

yes in fact it is small one. if anyone wants to come welcome. just send pm i let you know the address

I want to see too. Jnats do seem to have many variables that can come into play. Are you lapping with the 325 DMT to get slurry? Is this your stone or are you testing for someone...???? You know I have HAD thanks to you and Kelly in search of the perfect edge. I do love it so.
Tchau!

dmt 325 is fine for slurry. it is my stone you would be able to test it too. just have a little more free time and vodka lol

I hear that too many drops of vodka will make the line curve a little bit.

i have tried Many stones and check the edge 100x to see what is going on with the edge while i progress from 1k to endless.
Always this was the case. AT the end edge was straight line.
Recently i have gotten strange stone.

It comes out saw tooth.
in 100x i can see clear it is not straight edge. it is straight saw tooth.
Now i took Blade to shave test 3 times 3 different blades and they will shave as fine as my Jnats or escher used edge only 1 differences i could notice.
it is Cutting nose is different. it seems like winter time you walk on the snow.
Any ideas?

The only thing I can add is that you sold me a razor that was finely honed and since then I have been getting better shaves, even when I use a different razor. Keep up the good work!
