Recommend me a USB microscope

[Mick]

I want to get an inexpensive USB microscope to tale pics of blade edges.

I have been shaving with the same DE blade for almost 60 shaves and I am curious what this edge looks like after almost two months of shaves on it. It feels like a new edge but there MUST be some sign of age after all of these shaves.

SO....

I am now in search for a USB microscope so that I can post images of the edge compared against a new unwrapped blade (of the same manufacturer)

SO....

Recommendations are being solicited and welcomed

I suggest asking the guys in the straight razor forum (honing specifically). They're the subject matter experts on things of that nature as far as I have seen.

I've got a good loop. I'm looking for a microscope (100x - 200x) USB so that I can capture the image directly on the computer without having to shoot a camera through it

the loupe I posted gets much much closer....

I have this scope, although I am not sure it will answer to your purpose. It is supposed to magnify ca. 200x, but it is still difficult to make any judgements about the edge of a blade.



This is a Personna 74* after shave #14, jeans-stropped.

I saw this recommended in one of the threads--thinking of getting it myself.
