Playing around with my new microscope. My Boker straight razor

[Blade4vor]

Thanks.
Sometimes I wonder how much useful info can be gained by such photos. I am trying to learn how to take photomicrogarphs, but that is not all of it. They are just interesting to look at. You look with the naked eye at these tiny areas without realizing the complexity that exists. Makes me wonder what else I am missing.
How about some more feathers

I'm not sure what can be learned by photos such as these either, but they are just SO interesting! This thread is four pages so far and has had 1,985 views. Trust me, I'm not the only one watching and waiting to see what you are going to post next. This seems to be a passion for you, so just post away! I know I've subscribed to the thread. Enjoy your shaves, too! Thanks!

If you are interested in more ideas, how about looking at some DE blades that are labelled as plain old "stainless", with no fancy words like "super" or "extra"? I expect they are also coated, but more evidence would be welcome.

Thanks for the idea.
How about one of the cheaper blades a new Dorco ST-301. (dark field image)

I might as well continue on with another budget blade.
A Rimei was actually the first DE I ever used on a $2 razor. (around 11 months ago)
Got to start somewhere. Now I have a Weber, Wolfman, Boker, Sheffield, Gold Dollar 66, kangaroo strop, and obviously a way to look at the very small. Thing about it is that I was trying to save money. What a trip it has been.

For those of you just reading this, I'm trying to learn how to take microscopic photos, and how to best post them.
Needing practice, and just getting into wet shaving, I chose razors as a subject.
I just got a number of DE blades from ItalianBarber to keep me busy for quite a while.
I have some new higher and lower power objectives in the mail as well.
If anyone wants to see something from the list first just post a request.
How about my first steel DE blade a unused/uncleaned Treet New Steel
"This blade has a specially treated edge wiping will damage it"
First time I ever read that on a package. Will need to post followup pictures after a shave.
Try to ignore the two marks the camera picked up some dirt.

Shark Super Chrome
Personna Platinum They are made from premium super stainless Swedish steel.
Rapira Platinum Super Stainless
Treet Platinum Super Stainless
Voskhod Teflon Coated
Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Bic Chrome Platinum
Ladas Super Stainless
Rapira Stainless
Rapira Super Stainless
Treet Silver

I was wondering about this thread. Good to see that you're still at it.

Curious of the changes on this Treet blade after some use.

Thanks for all the great photos.

Very cool! (I'd like to see a Bolzano blade, always get the best smoothest shaves from them)

These are really great pictures of objects that get REALLY close to our faces!

I don't have any Bolzano blades. Next time I order, I will post some closeups.

How about the Voskhod programme.

Do you see the rocket exhaust?
