Thread: Bevel pics

I sat down this eve with not a lot of time, but time enough to go thru the progression. 2k thru 20k then an Ark for 50 laps with soap and water, then 50 laps with balistol and water. A stopping of 30/150 laps.

I tried to get the pics of the same spot on the blade the entire time using a scratch I saw in the first pic and the top of the pics are a popsicle stick with a black sharpie on it to give a cleaner shot of the edge line. This Razor was honed and felt like a solid bevel set, but I killed the edge lightly on the corner of the stone and reset at 2k. Didn't think I needed to go to the 1k as it wasn't bad to start with. Just a little corse in the shave. Now my cheap USB microscope does have some distortion on the sides, but in the middle, it seems decent enough for me. And I use a light set in front of the edge pointing so I could see as much stria as possible.
I haven't been using magnification lately so I gave it a go and wanted to share to get feedback.

So there you have it. At this time the edge feels great with the TPT but I will give it a test shave tomorrow after some work in the morning. I have to go help put up an Antenna on a 65ft tower. I will have 4 days growth so I will be in desperate need of a shave. Ha.
