    Default Honing Quiz

    Every now and then I see questions about magnification, hone grits and scratch patten, so here's a quick quiz. The following images are the bevel of the same razor under the same lighting conditions.

    Picture C is what the shave-ready edge looks like (after sropping).

    The question is what hones the scratch patterns in A and B correspond to.

    To make your life easier I'm including a scale (a picture of a ruler placed exactly where the razor is, so there is no discrepancy during different magnifications)
