Cheaper USB's like my Veho eg have only 2 focus settings, 20x & 200x.

What usually causes small areas like this? ding? Is it just flattened a little? Doesn't seem like it is from stropping, due to the size. Is that a correct assumption?

This is contact damage. The deeper one is hard contact, sink, faucet etc.
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.
