Thread: The bevel under magnification (pictorial)

Oz, on the microchip - how much does that register on the "ignorance is bliss" scale? When is a microchip an issue, and when is it just a natural part of an edge? (under sufficient magnification the whole edge looks chipped, right?).

Take that one in your first photo as a case in point. Left "untreated", what would be the ultimate outcome with that in terms of shaving?
