i use microscope with 100 magnification and it's straightforward to tell which hone to use and when you're done with it.
it is not necessary at all. unless you have no idea when honing what the problem is.

Me, too. It also makes bevel problems easier to see and diagnose.

OT: You guys need to know something about Windows Vista...If you play the Windows Vista Installation CD backwards, it'll play Satanic messages. Even worse, if you play it forward, it'll install Windows Vista.

I finally bought a PC with Vista on a few months ago, I felt I had to try it out. And I have to say this in Vista's defence: the animated progress bars look really nice.

I would have thought not seeing any progress bars would be a better endorsement

I was looking at these and there seems to be a 400x one for only £10 more. Would that be too much for razors? Maybe you could move it further away for less magnification?
The reason I am considering buying one is not razor related but it would be nice to kill 2 birds with one microscope

You know what would be really awesome.....if some one with a microscope could post examples of overhoned edges, microchips, different stages in the honing process, warped edges, etc. If you have the time and the resources. I think it would help me understand some things better. Thanks.
