Great job on the mirror edge lwaller1980!
Josh:
I’ve been cogitating on the strange results you were getting on the Bessy sharpness tester. I suspect it’s just another case of stiction, so I’ve got a suggestion: put a very fine application of oil on the bevels.
I read in a book recently that the oil that exudes from the pores on the side of your nose is used by old-time watchmakers to lube the axles in fine watches. In case you want to try something weird. Wipe your finger down the side of your nose, then wipe your finger along the bevels.
