Need to see close up stropped edge pics

**Dave12345** · 01-28-2009, 12:30 AM

Hi Gents

Does anyone have any really close up pics of the edge of a balde once its been stropped, rolled, not stropped etc. I have used a magnifying glass but obviously its not that good. I would love to see what is actually happening and what I am trying to achieve whilst stropping.

Hope you can help.

Regards
London

I remember reading a post that referred to a really old article on the effects of stropping. There are even some close up pics of an edge pre- and post-stropping.

Here it is: WONDER PHOTOS REVEAL UNSUSPECTED FACTS ABOUT Razor Blades and Shaving

You have to go to page 2 or 3 to see the interesting photos....

Not very good pictures, but here you go...

Wapi, bought shave-ready, used, stropped:

Go to this page and click on "bevels" and then on "edges". There are other resources but I don't know where to find them offhand.

I'm wondering, What magnification is that taken at?
Thanks
