Personally I found examining an edge under a microscope scared me. It is better not to know. The shave test is the only one that matters. Some of my best shavers have atrocious looking edges under a microscope.Noticed some comments about the value of examining an edge under a microscope.

Will it tell me how bad the shave will be. Definately!

The shave was the most comfortable shave I have had in memory. That edge just glided over my rhinoceros hide like skin and cut through my silken whisker like they were not there.
