Thanked: 13234Here are my thoughts
Pretty much if you know me you know what is coming
Magnification is an excellent "TOOL" and it excels at showing problems with and edge, Chips, Dings, Folds, Uneven Stria, Missing Bevels etc: etc: etc:
BUT
Especially on FB and more so everyday in the Fora we see pics of "Allegedly" Bad or Good "Finished" edges with the keyboard warriors proclaiming honing revelations..
Sorry but I call BS, just like I call BS on Natural Stones with outlandish grit ratings that newbs foolishly believe
Most of these pics are taken BEFORE stropping, because the Linen and the Leather tend to put unsightly scratches in the pretty bevel pics
Magnification has a place in honing, but it's place is NOT in determining a Good or Bad shaving edge
IMHO
