The right tool for the right job

Love the last shot and it doesnt half make me want one! Not much scope for such stunning photos with my Bic razor

Ah, Bic razors have done for shaving what Bic pens have done for classical writing....

Like the story and really like the last image. I have an old pocket watch and holder I think I shall try a similar shot with.

As for shaving, I have many items from Taylor's and have previously used the Sandalwood Soap (now use Crabtree and Evelyn Sandalwood). I have a real badger hair brush which is frowned upon but does whip a good lather. Hold on ......... am I talking about Gentlemen's Grooming ... stop it. This is a photography forum !!!!

Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing your shots of the pocketwatch.

Thanks. I think you'd like the weight of a double edge razor...

...and while I don't think I'll be trying a straight razor to shave with anytime soon, even a Bic razor will be better if you try using a brush and shaving soap. Here's a starter set that I first bought at Walgreens: Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set (Soap, Bowl, Brush)

That's why I use an electric shaver and a keyboard...

Love the composition in the second one! Interesting photo that tells a story - good exposure and depth of field. I do a fair bit of that sort of object shooting and Know how hard it can be to get it right - especially hand held.

Thanks, I appreciate the comments. I enjoy shooting images using a group of objects that tell a story.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I created a video demonstrating how this Kriss Kross stropper works. As soon as you start watching, you'll understand why I stick to taking photographs instead of shooting video.

At least you'll see how this mechanical contraption works and works well I think.
