Here is the best I can do without producing a blurry image. This one is with flash. Not sure how to get a better image with an iPhone haha.

I always tape the spine so perhaps it was from...

Attached are photos of another blade I honed with similar shaveability. All I see is a shiny bevel, which I'm assuming doesn't tell me much about the edge. Can't zoom in anymore without producing a...

Hmmm, I'll take another photo of just the edge when I get home and post it here.

Well that's why its bothering me so much :rant: Back to the stone until I get this down perfectly, at least to what I think is perfect haha.

So I spent more time using my loupe last night trying...

Ah, I think I get what you're saying now.

So I'm going to get the Carson for better magnification. Then I'm going to go back to the 1K and use the blade with the stropping tool to make sure it's...

The Belomo is great but I just don't see what you guys are seeing in all these pictures through that lens. All the photos I've seen here seem to be at much higher magnification. I would have been...

In another thread I was recommended the Belomo 10x Triplet Loupe so that's what I picked up. Whether or not that is sufficient magnification, I do not know.

Your photos make sense. I'll have to...

Hmmm, I am lost.

Alright so the next time I try this I'll use the stropping holder.

The stropper essentially slips onto the back of the spine which allows you to hold the blade similar to a straight razor in...

I'm a...

Continuing on with my honing journey and taking what I've learned from the advice I've been given here as well as the individual I know who taught me how to hone, I tried my hand at a NOS wedge blade...
