Hey racer, those are some amazing photos, taken through a loupe.

How about a quick photo tutorial of your process? I’m sure a lot of guys would benefit from it, as an inexpensive way to post clear, edge pics and get help.

You also are not quite honing to the edge, a few more laps, a bit more pressure or a single piece of tape, will get you to the edge, but you will still need a finer grit to finish. An edge does not get really straight, until 8K.

You might get away stropping on Chrome Oxide after fully setting your edge.
