Thread: USB Microscope: Worth a closer look?

Thanks for the input,

Are you referring to less and shallower scratches in the bevel?

Yes, I was thinking that there would be fewer peaks to get knocked off.

Tried setting up my microscope and take a pic with camera through the one ocular, 1st pic is of an old carbon steel Bismarck 504, currently my best shaver.

2nd pic is of a new SS DOVO # 41.
Still trying to get image of edge-on instead of sideways but no luck so far.

All that said, the edge shouldn't deteriorate over the course of one shave.

Right now I need 2 razors to get through my whole shave without pulling.
I have been doing 60 strokes on leather strop for the Bismarck and 100 for the SS DOVO.
Shortage of long hairs for sharpness tests here, (wife gets tired of me wanting hairs)
And my thumbnail test is not telling me much yet. Do you think I need to strop more?
Or try the linen?

What's your shaving experience like?
