Thread: Microscope snaps of my blade before and after Coticule

I did my first complete honing today on a Coticule using Dilucot method from coticule.be. Below are snaps made with a USB microscope before and after honing. There was a considerable chip on the blade, which I managed to remove completely. I taped the spine and reapplied the tape couple of times as it got worn out. Anyways, first 4 snaps are before and last 3 are after. Note that the bevel is less polished now, but the big chip and microchips are gone. All snaps are after stropping both on clean polyweb and leather. I used no Crox or any other stropping polisher in the process. Keenness of the blade is about the same on HHT and TPT as well as arm hair test.
Do you guys think a coticule can produce a shinier bevel or this is about as good as it gets?? Have I done some really bad honing here?
