Edge Condition Album


Another great shave and today's microscope image shows why (see album). If you compare today's image with the one originally taken, there is essentially no difference. The entire edge looks this way as well. If anything, I'd say that the overall form of the edge is a little smoother. This is not what I expected at this point. I'm sure that the apex has become more rounded since Aug 1. You can't see this in the microscope but the apex change is so small, it's just not noticable to me in the shave. The edge smoothness shows why my shaves have been so comfortable.

I see that u/Str8_Razor is also foregoing the strop with a Frio 14. Cheers Sir!
