Appreciate the efforts you took in posting these educationally valid examples.

And again, this has been very helpful.
New to honing and I was having trouble getting one razor back in to form.
I had first noticed a couple of "sparkles" when I finished stropping one day and looking at them with a 30x lighted loupe I could see a couple of microchips.
So while I was setting the bevel I kept thinking about the "bevel not set" pics - for a novice they help you know where to look and what to look for.
And I could tell both by visual and the tests that work for me (tree-topping arm hair) that the bevel was not set.
Taking a page out of Glen's "change something" and I added a second layer of tape and starting with the 4K - things fell in to place in short order - the shave test is in the AM.
When the Student is ready the correct lesson will appear...
Smooth Shaving...
Big shout out to onimaru55 for the pictures and commentary. It really helps newbies like me trying to assess edges.
I can see why it was tugging!Quote:

I really like this post it has been very informative. I ordered a 30X loupe to help me out a little. I may try honing to that extreme at some point but I think I will stick with what I have for now
Great post and photos. I have looked at them several times and seem to notice things I did not previously. Will keep coming back to look some more.
Thanks.
Thanks i look a couple movies While honing a razor. A great Job and learning pics
