Thread: Frustrated with 1K bevel

Again, many thanx guys! I have a 30X illuminated jewelers loupe, but don't know what to look for other than smiles, frowns, wire edges and flat spots! Yes, I was using the same piece of tape-did not realize that it must be changed! Then again, I have been honing w/o tape as I'm following one VERY senior members advice, most of the razors I'm working with are inexpensive and have flattened spines to begin with and I figured that it's one less thing to worry about. Will keep you all updated, as this is really chapping my butt!-Gearhead-PS-Dear ACE and cpcohen1945, if I understand both of you correctly, am I supposed to have an edge that is THIN as possible that does NOT reflect light? With this particular razor, the edge is at least 2mm wide on either side and is indeed shiny. Some of my razors shave fine and have only a visible edge on one side though.Please explain, as I am totally out in left field
