Ok, thats what I thought. Those camera pics are better than the ones from cheap microscopes I think.

Smythe I've oiled it even myself but forgot.
Strop was innocent this time. :)

Now I have...

Thank you Leighton, that was the desired result.

OK, more time on the higher grit hones!
Henckels 8000 behaved well (without anomalies) today, too, after I lapped it once more.

How (what...

You got it, its oily. :gaah:

In the meantime I did two other blades, not oiled, LOL
Now I think I've got it.

Alex please go back to page five and have a look at the last pic.
Thats both his work and mine under same light and camera conditions.

I'm actually always worried that I loose too much material....

I'm not sure, but that can also be a leftover of me honing the blade
with slurry. It was chipped and needed quite some strokes.

Make my day! :)
I just do not have an explanation for the horizontal stripes on the bevel of mine. :rant:

Garry (among others) has bought a blade from me (the Dodge with stag) and said it was...

Ok, here we go.
Same light same angle, same everything.

I don't thin the strop sagged too much.
Hhhmmmm, thats why I'll take another picture of it, but actually I doubt so,
since there are some little dust particles on it that are quite sharp actually.

Sham I did not tape at all this time.
The second bevel (if there is) is from the strop.

Once again thank you very much, guys!
You're quite encouraging! :)

Leighton those photos are good to see.
How did you make them? Through a loupe?
Wonderedge three and four are about what I...

Thanks, dear! I'm really a bit dissappointed about myself, thats all.

Well at the moment I think I know nothing. Neither cloudy nor mirror like, LOL

hhhmmmmm, you made a point here.
Will try again with less.

Whow!!! Thank you guys for all the helpful answers! :tu
Joed, sorry I can only hit the TY-button once! ;)

Sham, do not worry. I would not ever assume that you do this, if its not justified or due...

Kevin, I do lap with w/d paper and rinse thoroughly,
then letting it be. No towels or such.
Just did it before starting out today.
Yeah, I also think there's some larger particle involved.

Just...

They are huge, Sham!
I sized them down to about 20% not to nuke the screen.
Sharpenend and clarified the picture.

This is 1:1

The meister got quite an array.
I don't know what he really used.

On my side it were the henckels up to 8000,
but probably not long enough.
Edge was met, but bevel not polished sufficiently....

So the story goes:

There is a honemeister at the german boards who is the absolute Übermeister!
Everybody loves his edges.
I had the chance to send him a razor I thought I was done...
