Soo my microscope has arrived and I continued honing, but stil not getting the really razor sharp edges straight off the hone.
I can shave with them after stropping a lot with red compound, and then...

Wow, thats one ****ed up edge :-O
Then I might be lucky with what I have bought to teach myself honing.
Was the edge rusted a lot?

Whaw, this is one active forum :D thanks for all the replies, I think I know why you should or shouldn't kill or join the edge now. AND have learned other stuff at the same time.
I've been shaving...

So i think the most important thing is that if the bevel is set (tested on my thumb nail?) there is absolutely to reason to kill the edge?

The microscope? Just a cheap 60x LED china microscope.. hope that can help me to start off..

I can understand that, I'm now waiting for my microscope to arrive and I'm curious to see what i've done (or haven't) allready.

Well, the title says it all, why should I ?

Just new to honing and learning a lot, everything seems logic from what i've read, but killing the edge doesn't...
