    The others could even be from brushing against a fingernail while shaving or placing the razor down on a hard surface in the fully open position.The edge can then roll against the bench. Best to always close a razor to 45º when putting it down. No risk that way.
    It's possible. I've had it for a while, and it was a bit of time, before I started taking real precautions around the sink (I had dinged the Dovo, my first blade). Good idea on closing it mostly, when laying it down. I usually lay it on a towel, except when I'm done, and starting to clean up, after shaving.

    Looks like I'll need to learn to hone this one...

    Wish I could say the same. I damaged my Tanaka Damascus Kamisori (It was my second straight and I was new still).

    Luckily I just made the tip super muted, it doesn't look too bad and still has about a 50mm cutting edge.

    That's good. I hate to see a bad outcome of anything like that nor do I wish bad things to happen to people & their straights or other type of razor's like a Kamisori!

    I received the cheaper microscope from eBay just today. How do you guys deal with the reflection of the led lights on the blade? No matter what angle I try the interesting parts are burned out with too much light...

    Try dimming the light on the microscope. Or bring up the background/ambient light in the room. I found that putting flat black cardboard behind the razor helps. See that Wirm has Black duct tape behind his.This will aid in absorbing light. Lastly focus on a point away from the edge and see if that helps with reflected light brightness.
    whoever likes this.
    Your only as good as your last hone job.

    Play with the lighting and filter settings in the software, there may evev be an insity lever or dial on the scope. What make and model?

    Haha, it's a cheap generic Chinese one. Sold as 50x-500x but how would I know. It looks exactly the same as the 20x-200x model Either way, I can capture 11mm or 1.1mm in one screen. Now I need to play with the lighting and maybe use a SLR tripod...

    I just plugged it in my Macbook Pro and took shots with Photo Booth app. Worked like a charm!

    And now I can map my beard with 50-500x more accuracy!
