BTW, the only new items in this picture are the razor and the surface plate. I got both of them for Christmas last year. The guys at Standridge lapped it to .00005" for me at no extra cost because I picked it up myself. The adjustable height stand in the back was my Grandfather's, it has the patent date Mar 17, 1896 stamped on it.

The Fiddlestick itself weighs 7.4 grams.
The scale looks like this.
1) 10 grams
2) 30 grams
3) 60 grams
4) 90 grams
5) 120 grams
6) 150 grams
7) 180 grams
A few close-ups to show the positioning of the indicator tip and the Sonic Fiddlestick probe. The test indicator reads out in .0001" increments.

This is totally amazing.
I'm glad Mike @Esox posted, in another thread, the link to your post because I had been unable to find it.
There's been considerable progress since we - Mike and Joel and others - were "measuring" rigidity with the naked eye and a pencil.
Great work.
Happy shaves,
Jim
