Thanks for the great photos!

I have a before and after shot of this feature:

After shaving:

After 50/100 linen leather:


The effect is subtle, but if you compare the two images you can see that metal has been drawn up over the broken edge and is reforming the keenness.

I did strop the blade once more before the second shave, and while it was not quite as sharp as the first shave, the blade was still sharp enough for the moustache ATG pass and very smooth, maybe even smoother than the first shave.
