I'm really curious how much the smooth edge in that last pic would be degraded by a shave. Got any pre-shave vs. post-shave shots?

how about a little lower power ? 60x or 100x.
I personally think after 200x we just cannot see the edge. we see just one dot at 500x and that is not real edges pictures? i hope you understand what i mean.

Very interesting, thanks! I think that comparisons can be done only if observing the same area (before and after stropping, or after different strops). Also, would it be possible to have one pic at 500x with hair and edge together? (..yes, kind of family portrait..) just to understand proportions.

I always enjoy Seraphim's magnified blade photos. They're like crack to me.
Now if I can just get him to take some on a blade finished with .1 micron diamond lapping film....

Nice photos. I think the 45 degree cut in the bevel on the faaaaaaar right of the first picture (before) is the same cut in the bevel of the center of the second photo (after).
I will have to admit that the variance from before to after was not as dramatic as I suspected it would be. I usually apply a light powder coat of graphite to my daily hanging strop and avoid the entire worry over stropping effect anymore.

It makes me sooo nervous to know how you feel about seraphims micro images.(hopefully our addictions are healthy ones) Originally Posted by FloorPizza

Having a scope showing that much detail would be so cool to verify and help understand so many of the things we try from bevel set to different strops.My old 100x has taught me so much, but a 500x with that much detail is incredible.What I like the most is the detail visible in just how the edge itself is formed, whereas at 100x you really have to squint to see much more that the if you have a jagged vs smooth line.
Yours on the othr hand looks into the detail of the edge proper.
Did you mention what type of scope you used?
