Canvas strop @ 200x mag
Whole edge is getting burnished & a tiny micro bevel -like appearance is normal at the right angle in the right light

Leather strop @ 200x
Not perfect looking but cuts armhair very smoothly. Shave test was acceptable but not optimal for me.
A little tweaking with the finisher i.e. 4-5 strokes during the shave got the desired results.
Haven't added any pics of that final edge as there was no obvious change under the scope to my eyes.
Just goes to show the shave test is the ultimate test but magnification is a great aid especially in early to mid stages.
