May I ask what is 0.1 microne diamond edge you mentioned?I would be hard pressed to find an ac blade equivalent to a 0.1 micron diamond edge. I've tried several and I believe a diamond edge is the sharpest edge that has ever graced my face.
It's a method for finishing a straight razor. It's very small diamonds suspended in grease. It can be rubbed onto balsa or linen. It's about a 200,000 grit finish.May I ask what is 0.1 microne diamond edge you mentioned?
Is it another type of SE blades? Does it has the same slot pattern as AC or it requires a different razor?
When I started looking at the Feather brand DE blades at 200x, I noticed three
distinct bevels. I built a laser angle measuring gizmo to check what the
actual angles were. To my surprise the final angle was between 20 and 21
degrees. The Feather Professional straight blades were 25 degrees.
The Feather will feel a bit smoother on your face due to the teflon coating.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I can only guesstgat bringing a straight razor to such sharpness is a very elaborated work. I assume one bring arazorformultiple honing stages on differnf hones increasing grit gradually, which not only time consuming but requires considerable skills and experience and last but not least investinga motor money in these honing materials.It's a method for finishing a straight razor.

A razor finished on diamond paste can easily cut the hair on your arms or legs just being slowly pulled through the air above your skin. It's a sharpness test called tree-topping.
Hi, thanks a lot for your reply,Straight forward and minimally funds if you use films and these pastes. Look up method honing here.
other honing paths are more resource front loaded.
