I've noticed that my best edges have a beam of light along the edge, this seems to ensure that the blade is killer.

Shame I cant achieve it every time.

I'm wondering, if I have a broken beam of light, does that mean it needs more finishing?


The first picture is a Not a Replica honed by Hart Steel with an Escher (lovely shaver)

The second is my Custom Hart Steel , I finished it with Jnats and its by far the keenest edge ive ever known.

The third is my Custom Max Sprecher, same finish on my Jnats but a bit gappy in the beam of light department.
