What happened?
I was sharpening my Pfeilring razor and i created the best edge i ever had. For me perfect,
But after stropping just lightly on clean leather, there happened something bad. Some microteeth have been created

The answer is: Does it shave good?

What stones did you use and how did you use them?Last edited by ScottGoodman; 06-03-2011 at 09:20 PM.

Your 'pre-stropping' picture doesn't have the necessary detail to make any conclusion.
I'm willing to bet money that the 'microteeth' are right there and weren't created by the strop.

The only test is the shave test. All the others
are at best hints, tricks and tools in making a second razor just
like that your previous perfect shaver.
