Hi all : having some issues. First question, can an edge get microscopic chips from just shaving ? Now really Idk if I can even call them microscopic as I can see them when the leather from my strop clogs them. I assume the edges fold by the chip or are jagged enough to catch minute particles of leather ? Or is this maybe a sign of over honing and the edge getting too thin and not holding up to my brutish shaves? Alot of senarios running through my mind. It was just refreshed prior with my zulu grey and naniwa 12k. Tried using slurry on the zulu at first and the edge was degrading (imo) so had went back to the Nani for ten x-strokes then the zulu with plain water for 100+ (circles first then x-strokes). The blade after stropping and while shaving was awesome. I set it aside to strop at a latter date and when I commenced to strop noticed the microchips. I used tape btw.
