For me, i just got home after work. So for the average joe, its 5:30pm. But i go to bed when i get home. Good night SRP, and OZ. See ya tomorrow night or day or whatever it is.

Thanks. I paid a lot for the 20k. I even got a great discount on it, but it still damn near gave me a heartatack when i pushed the button on it. Someday someone might sell a.nice jnat at a low cost...

I wont be spending that kind of money on a rock. The wife would kill me if i spent more on a hone than i did on here ring. Im just a cheap bas......

I will work with my 75 dollar jnat and be...

What is exe?.
Let me guess, extra expensive. Ha.

I seen a couple at the 2k+ mark. And im not talking grit!

Im thinking i need to lap my 20k again. Ive got a dirty spot that covers about 1/4 of the stone on one end. And standard lapping doesnt clean it off. Low spot??? So, i will ware out my arm again on...

Update:
The Jnat bevel and edge looked good but was lacking. Sure i got a clean shave from it, but it was not as keen as i like. Operator error i figure. I must have done something wrong. Maybe the...

Thanks, Mark. Yep, I'm in my right mind. Well, that what the medical people seem to think. I'd argue with them but they got more letters after their names than me. Wait! I got 7 letters after my...

What I noticed with those scratches, are they go the other direction. Being left-handed, all my stria goes the other way. UNLESS I'm spine leading like on a strop. This is my therory anyway.

And...

One more pics. I think I've done pretty well with this one. But now I'm starting to see reflection at the edge. White line! Although when looking down on the edge I'm only seeing tiny spots, I think...

I noticed this too. But if you look at approximately the same distance from the center on the other side there are spots too. Not as big. I think this is distortion from my cheap-ass scope. But i...

I did a little search on google. And by co.paring the lens size on the microscope and the pic size on my screen, ive come up with 90x. Well, thats still in the ballpark of what you were saying Vic....

Vic, i will go do some measuring to see what i get. Just because. Not that it matters. But it would be nice to have an idea.

Doing it your way i got 130x. I guess it matters what size monitor.

Yes, a system, a way to do it every time do get to this way of honing every time will be my goal. Im using more pressure than i have in the past but then cutting it back in the end. Im trying slurry...

I guess your right. I didn't think of that. But, mine is still not as clean as that one.

Just fixed up another razor I made a mess of. Soooo much better looking now. I tried a CR0X coated strop...

With my machine, I can't seem to get a pic of the mirror finish. The mirror looks grey. Guessing this has to do with the size of the area in the scope? I just finished another one. I'm ashamed to...

That pic is a very clean bevel! Nice. No this seco d try i went to the 1k. Then 3k and 5k and 8k and 12k before the 20k. I did the circles too but mi e still didnt come out as clean as that pic. I...

I'm all ears when it comes to what Marty has to say as I just had my shower and test shave and....
Keen and Comfort! I really wasn't expecting any comfort from this edge but it was there. I even...

Strop pics. This time a clean strop. :)

Don't look much different than the Arkie pic. :shrug:

Going up for a show and test shave this time. Crossing my fingers!

BTW, 40 on linen and...

New pics. I'm just going to post the last few. I went back to the 1K. Then 3K, 5K, 8K, 12K, 20K finished with 30 laps on the Arkie. The bevel is a mirror thru the loupe hard to look at, but in the...

I was afraid you were going to say this about the stria from the 2K. I noticed it was never going away and was there to the end. Some circles I will try. and I'm always afraid of putting pressure on...

It could have been my hand causing the deeper striations too. It's a thinner stone and I don't have as much luck with thinner stones. Less you say. Huh. Well, I wasn't too sure. I know the Arkie take...

I sat down this eve with not a lot of time, but time enough to go thru the progression. 2k thru 20k then an Ark for 50 laps with soap and water, then 50 laps with balistol and water. A stopping of...
