Thread: Learning Jnats with Microscope

Donato, What is enlightening for others are the micrograph photos and systematic approach. Yes, much of the process has been discussed many times and even some micrographs of a finished bevels and edge, but not much of the process.

So, for a new Jnat honer it is a tool for them to compare what they see through their loups to your micrographs and the result you are getting, compared to theirs.

It is not that some razors are too hard, but they are harder and that can produce different levels of polish. And that you do not need a perfect looking bevel to get a good shaving edge, but it does not hurt to polish to a given level consistently to get consistent, repeatable results.

A great edge does not mean much if you cannot repeat it.

Good work, interesting post that will help a lot of new Jnat converts.
