Try check the edge with microscope then strop 50 times and check it again.
see there is any differences.
hope this helps.
Hi there, thanks for your time!
I check with a 10X loupe. First time I honed the razor, it was clearly overhoned, and at 10x I could easily see little bent parts, that sheared so to speak, so idd you get little chips etc.
Then I took it through this last bit of honing, starting with backstrokes to get rid of the overhoning part, and it all looked fine.
Now, with the 10x, I don't see any evidence of bending and chips. Should I look at it with greater magnification? Or should any overhoning be visible by 10x?
I stropped and looked again, but saw no difference... hence my thought on doing some pyramids on it tomorrow...

Thanks!
