The edge passed sharpness tests but did not look great under the microscope. Shaves just fine.
This amused me 😅. And helps with my microscope FOMO.
It has taken me too long to learn how to properly analyze microscope images. I was very influenced by DrMatt357’s videos of (maybe?) 10 years ago. The area where it has been the most help has been in diagnosing slight edge anomalies. These go unnoticed most of the time, and it helps a little to fix them. I have also learned to get rid of most of these by paying more attention to slurry motion on the stone and to feel so the scope has improved my technique.

That makes sense. Plus, it’s always nice to see your AA edge images :)
Thanks! I really enjoy documenting the challenges of AA.
