As i'm honing i am only using a 30x loupe and looked good there

250x-- HOLY COW! Now I'm just impressed.

How are you taking those pics?

Man, if it looks that good at 250x, and it shaves well you are home free.

Try getting it 'perfect', and shave with it a few times... then look at it. That should give you some perspective.

I agree, @ 250X that looks pretty dern good! Strop and shave and proceed to the final test!

The shave test tells the best story.

Wow, that is awesome!

i stopped using 200x plus and just use my 30k loop , as sham told me its the cutting edge and i was to ignore the bevel polish etc to a certain degree . if it shaves thats all that matters.

Your picture tells us nothing . Trust me. what we are seen is smaller then head of pen.
Now i would love to hear anyone prove me i am wrong.
I think above 60-100 is the max what you can learn from the magnification.
more then that just hurts.
hope this helps.

I agree here... 60-100 is plenty... but if it shaves well you already know how your edge is.
