Pictures look good but those are just pictures. How does it shave? That's the real story!

thank you sir.short video i made: https://youtu.be/3nmiZL65P-s im not shaving often,so cannot compare a lot,but i was satisfied.

Looks almost like you have a foil edge on it. Did it leave you with any irritation?

please what do you think with foil edge?no irritation.

Honestly what matters more then magnification is how well it shaved but without seeing a properly honed edge at 1000x mag it becomes almost impossible to compare. Foil edge is when you've basically created a burr on the tip of the bevel. These can break off while shaving and cause mass amounts of irritation. Then again I am no pro at telling you how good an edge is based on looks.

thank you.

yes,but only with naked eye under different angles.this was kind of quick sharpening because i made it from original condition to what you see in like 40 minutes.

i mean i was not checking it with microscope during process.when i did not saw scratches with naked eye i moved to other stone.
