I have a loupe as well but I don't find that it's enough for my preference. 200x works well for me.

I see one side of a story. Where's the shave ready ebay pic to compare?

Yes! Where?
barely saw a mention of an 'Ebay' edge. OP was referring to an edge he acquired from the classifieds, I think!

Here's an ebay edge from a razor I purchased and received Saturday: Originally Posted by sharptonn

It didn't claim to be shave ready, in all fairness. But this is what I saw in the ad, and a lot of people bid on it because it was a "coveted" name brand:

The final point I'll make is this and I'm sure that experienced honemeisters will agree with me. It doesn't have to have a shiny finish. These are two other great shavers:

Ebay edge looks more like an aerial photo of a coastline.

I looked all around where I live and couldn't find any and ended up ordering one. If you search the forum for a thread about loupes you will find a thread that gives many many good links to some good Loupes. Originally Posted by tedh75
