Does anyone have any experience with “Dr. Matt” - from Youtube fame (drmatt357)?

He uses a little unorthodox sharpening method to (purportedly) get an extremely sharp edge on straight razors. For example:

His videos are very interesting and he shows the whole process.

The bits I’ve watched indicate that the level of sharpness is unsurpassed. I’m interested in learning how to hone, etc. my own stuff and what he has to say is intriguing.

Comments?

WOW! Well I'm going to be ordering one of those USB microscopes, kind of a good thing to have anyway.
Not really interested in straight razors, have a beard for the last 40 years, but am a fanatic on sharp knives.
Lots of good info on video that can be applied.
Never really thought of using a microscope to look at the edge, usually went by feel for any "fold over" and how well it would shave the hair on my arm as a test.

Thanks for the vid.
