Yes, although I have that headlamp for working on other things I don't use it for razors. I prefer a light source that is in front of me and above so the light reflects back to my eyes. A good location if you're having trouble seeing the apex is to stand directly under a bright ceiling light, then back up a foot or two. Hold the razor in front of you and look at the apex with a loupe (I use a 10x when setting bevel) and move things around a little bit until you find the angle where the light comes down from the fixture, bounces off the apex and enters the loupe. This will make any flat spot at the apex look bright and shiny.
