Thread: My first razor damage!

[QUOTE=MJC;1434347]On a separate note - though you are new to shaving you seem to be an expert at micro photography - could you tell us how you did this?
Very well done!

Thank you, while I am new to SR's i am not new to sharp edges, as a hobby i have been sharpening knives for many years. In an effort to ensure i was getting the finest edge possible I purchased a cheap magnifying lens to ensure i had no micro-groving or chipping on the knife edge which if not caused by use can be commonly caused by abrasives in the sharpening process. I found that the magnifying lens was not quite good enough for what i needed so I upgraded to a digital microscope. They are not all that expensive but give amazing results as you can see and as a bonus you can photograph the results.

Thanks, but we want details, model numbers, links, what OS you are working with...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to be able to do this...

I just had a quick look on ebay 40-80 X ones are about $21. No idea on the quality though. I think my daughter would have a lot of fun with one of them.
