    Thank you all for your recommendations.
    As I said, I have a cheap 60x illuminated loupe.
    I find with my loupe that I have to get very close to see anything, sometimes i have hits the edge of my razor when trying to see straitght down for sparklies etc.

    My loupe has cheap plastic lens, which probably isn't a problem

    I am still a bit unsure what to get next, I have heard a 10x is good and 18x through to a cheap 40x.
    Only one has mentioned a 60x like mine so I can't help feeling that 60x might be a bit too much, appaently less magnification would leat me hold the loupe a bit further from the blade (?).

    I think I would like a glass triplet lens this time because i have beard that they're a lot clearer but I will make sure that i can get the bateries cheap on Amazon before i get one.

    Does this look like it might be worthwhile?

    You never realize what you have until it's gone -- Toilet paper is a good example
