I haven't started shaving with a straight yet. "The blade is in the Mail".

I have noticed that quite a few posts on honing include discussion on using a microscope. As I intend to become a future honemeister , I fidured that if I started looking closely at the blade from the beginning, it would shorten my learning curve. As my razors are coming honed, I figure it would give me a good benchmark. Then I will pick up a blade from Ebay and practice.

To the question. What power scope would be what I want? Since the Radio Shack seems to be on the way out, I better have a back up plan.
