What would you recommend for the magnification on a loop for checking a bevel?

I use the 60x $5 ebay special. One of the best bargains in straight razor shaving.

I use a wet thumbnail.

:biggrin1: My wet thumbnail takes me up to 1k. After that I like to look at the polish.

Microscopes slow me down :lol:

Wet thumbnail up to 1K (and make sure it shaves arm hair all along the edge), then I jump to a coticule dilucot and it would mess things up to stop at any point in that progression.

Coticules actually leave quite a bit of scratches under the scope, but the shave test tells me they are one of the best finishers out there IMHO.
