I agree, during this "marathon" I found that the marks created by the 800 require a lot of work on the 3k.
I (think) I will return the stones and for a re-buy instead of the 3k/10k combo and the...

It makes sense and is something, that can seen or guessed under the microscope. With coarse stones You end up with a "huge" distance between "mountains" and "valleys". Higher grit stones cut off the...

Yes, thanks. If not... i'll keep on extending this thread :D

Sorry, I know. I truely hope there is not much coming more...

But that's OK, is it? This is not the one You were talking about, being responsible for issues?



I'll use it less and less the more experience I get. And a good loupe combined with developed...

Did I mention, the shave was tremendous?

It's 1:30 here, way past midnight.
If nothing dramatical happens within the next few hours, I'll have nothing to shave in the morning and will be way too...

we all do dear, we all do....

Bob,



Nitpicking, yes! Thanks, I knew it was only almost right.

Actually I am quite happy with the microscope. If You don't want to have a hard time, just turn the magnification down :). I...

Thanks, it's like with all tools and tests. You have to know how to use them and how to read their feedback. To me it is a great teaching device. I lack the experience of thousands of honed razors...

... continued. The other post did not accept more images. See if it works now.

We are at 5k with 2x 40 circles + 30 x-strokes + 30 x-strokes and another 25 x-strokes

Neil, Oz,





OK, let's get through this step by step. And in order to come to the point. This one is with good ending.

First I re-set the bevel. For that I started with the ATOMA 400...

Oz,



All this thread, except the intro and the first two images, is with the 12k. I had the issue first with the 10k, that's why the additional 12k came and all this started. As this all got...

Jonathan,



Thanks for the hint. Got it together with the naniwas and think it is synthetic.

As to me this also was an unknown factor, I abandoned it first place together with the sandpaper....

Lemur,

concerning the USB microscope:



OK, fine. I'll do that. But I'll put it in another thread then. And please do give me a little more time... I'd first like to sort this here out.

I have no contact to Naniwa directly. I have offered my vendor to directly contact Naniwa, but they did not answer to that. I googled, but found nothing useful.
The vendor has all of this and wrote...

Bob,




No, I also wondered that no one asked before ;). Magnification is something between 220 - 250 power. For reference I have put two images with 20 and 50 power in this post .

It's not...

Don't be intrigued by the light. There are eight LEDs around the lense giving direct lighting, which leads to different reflections even within the viewport.

But let me go through this. Not that I...

Most of the time I do on the 800 and 3k stones. The rest is done quickly. The higher the grit, the shorter the time on the stone.

I'm still kind of a beginner concerning honing, still learning....

Yes, I know You said this in an earlier post. But how should this happen. There is not yet a burr. But I could also strop it sure.

Anyway, I'll have to redo the ege and go back to 800


A hole...

Neil,



Thanks, I'm not through with this. I used it as it came from the vendor. So it really could be contamination this time.



I'm not using much pressure with all the hones. I just...

Yep, just posted. I did not run it against some metal prior use though.

But there still is some metal left on my beloved razor.
Maybe I'll start bevel-setting with the ATOMA next time. This way...

I start getting used to going to bed with the birds tweeting and the Sun rising...

Yesterday I bought a 400 grit ATOMA Diamond plate.

WOW, now that looks different.

If You compare...

Thanks. Yes, sure, I tend to blame the stone - either this particular one or the construction in general. However, as one of the posters stated, with two misbehaving stones, chances are high the...

Thanks, that's what I did. Have a look at my latest post - hope it's somewhat understandable. I'm close to sure that it comes from the stone's own particles that are torn out. I think the problem...

Another sleepless night, but I think, I've got some news.

It really seems to be contamination, but from the stone itself, rather than from other source.

After I had identified a possible...
