Thread: A Good Honing Tip - Using the Loupe

There are tons of gems on this website from the experienced members, sometimes we don't pick them up right away, sometimes we do, and I've read multiple times to get a darn Jewelers Loupe!!

I made an order the other day for some shaving supplies and finally, finally, decided, meh, might as well get a loupe.

So, after wondering the state of an edge by just guessing, "I've shaved 5 times with this blade, should I take it to some CroX, or refresh it on the coticule?" I finally looked at all my blades today with the loupe I received and it takes all the guessing out, you can tell just by looking what the state of the edge of your blade is, what it may or may not need, and if by chance you've rolled an edge.

So, if you're starting out, don't make the mistake I did in waiting a year to get one, get it, it provides all the information you need to know on the state of your edges.

Thanks to all the members who've only said that several thousand times....

Cheers!
