    A lighted loupe is a great way to see if your bevel is set completely across the blade. Also helps to identify any deformities or imperfections along the shaving edge.

    Well, I am going to go with what RezDog said. You did not say but I take it this is your first attempt at shaving with a straight razor which you attempted to hone without ever having honed a straight razor before. You could not get a better recipe for failure to launch.

    This is what is recommended you do in our library section First straight razor shave - Straight Razor Place Library .
