Glen/Ray: Did you/will you examine the edges under a microscope? I'd like to know how they compare at 200X, 400X, 500X. I'm getting set to do my own informal, unofficial experiment with my own razors. I'm going to do much the same in terms of stones and pastes, but I haven't ordered a 30K Shapton yet, and I just ordered a new microscope. I'm not that discerning a shaver, so I expect they will all feel pretty much the same to me. The only way I think I'll be able to tell the difference (If I can at all) is to view the edges microscopically. Nevertheless, I'm curious.
