Edge Condition Album


Well, that's it. I was very surprised by how well this edge lasted all month. I think most of it is due to the wear resistance of the steel, and a little of it has to do with preparation of the edge and with my shaving technique.

Wonderful month! Congrats to all who took part! I look forward to reading all of the summaries.

Here is the final microscope photo.
