Awesome and thanks for the photos. Good to see how it works. I have an iMac and a MacBook for work, so I'd like to get something that works with them. I tried once before and ended up with one that had only PC support, so I returned it (didn't try to figure if I could get it to work).

does anyone here use them for checking more than bevels?

Huh? Lets see , Wake up, Coffee, Shaving, Job, come home hone all my razors check my bevels using cheap Chinese microscope, Post about said activities on SRP, Drink scotch, go to bed, dream about new acquisitions to further complicate my time, rinse repeat.

Dude get out of my head. I so resemble that post. Not Funny.
Dont ride with me. every antique....yada yada yada I stop at.
Daily I read the obituary's to find leads

@Razorfaust, do you use the v4l (app?) or what comes with the microscope? I'm running MacOS 10.10.3 (64 bit mode). I see the Amazon page said that the Mac support did not include 64-bit.

I did ordered the microscope last night, so will be looking to getting it going. I haven't started honing (yet), but would like to examine the blades I have to see how they are wearing and how well I'm doing with stropping. I have a 30x cheap magnifying glass, but it's really hard (for me) to get a good view of the edge.

I'd also like to capture baseline shots of the edges on blades that have been pro honed, so that I can see how they progress, and see they look once I hone (or even just touch up) blades.

Just what came in the box pcm.

I see you are keeping up to date with the latest version of Yosemite. Same here!
