Very lovely shave Jeff.

 

Thanks Clint

 

Thanks Jeff...I don't know which type head. I'll have to look tonight and figure it out.

 

Very nice Paul, love the details. Polka dots....I get those mostly under my nose, one was very pesky last week. I believe it's like the start of an ingrown hair or other similar skin blemish. Shave over it enough I've found...they don't reappear as often.

Very nice Gary! Love the golden yellow theme. Cool New LC.

Sounds like a shave gone right Chris!

Awesome Brush! Wow, it is similar stock/colors as my WWB example. I've run out of room in my brush carousel, so it doesn't get use as much as it should. My understanding is that he pours his own resins, so each is a little different.

I'd be honored Myles, but absolutely not required. I was poking fun of our local stores. Your budget as a high school senior, or your honorable duty coming up faster than you'll realize, would be better saved for your needs/wants, or your family's.

Gosh knows I have more than enough smell good juice to last my lifetime.

 

Thanks Andrew. I just center drilled the end of the aluminum stock a little smaller than the splines on the head and tapped it together. Locked down tight and has not give any problems.

 

thank you Blair..was aiming for orange..

 

Thank you Gary.

Well, if we can’t shave with it, at least we can use it to peel carrots...

 

Awesome haul Danny. Congrats.

best blade for carrot peeling?

 

Super combination Jeff. Nancy Boy is good stuff, need to pull mine out again. Love seeing the Goldenedge, enjoy a Parfum Day!

I have a love/hate relationship with RAW. Goes back to a Professional Photographers of America convention I went to, and talking with many art directors of magazines, advertising dept heads of corporations (for catalog work), etc. Kodak talked about the film to digital transition (and I was already there). Yes, it's ultimate control. But, it's also so over-hyped as well as a huge time waster for 99.9% of the general photography needed and/or done. Pixel density/sensor resolution is similar to Moore's Law of computing power.....what is really needed for the general task, end result at hand. We're fast approaching a point (even with cell phone sensors, much less high end DSLRs) where there's more pixel density than the eye can resolve. I'll stop there...this is a shaving forum.

 

Super cool mail call Danny!

First thing to consider is more light, both ambient and direct. For oranges/reds to be true, you need brighter whiter light source (like the sun showing off a car's true paint of a red/orange at dawn vs the hour surrounding noon). Then there's light temperature (how white that artificial light output is). Gets techy real fast, not unlike trying to say the air conditioning isn't working, versus explaining a worn out expansion valve.

Easiest way to achieve this is to switch from traditional light bulbs to LED bulbs. Some don't like the brighter (or really whiter) light from LED bulbs, so you can get dimmable ones, or bulbs labeled 'warm'.

You'll also solve the problem of the blurry image. More light will have your phone camera auto set the shutter speed higher (less shake) and the aperture larger (more available light reaching the sensor), as well as lower the ISO (sensor light sensitivity).

 

thank you so much Blair..will give it a go.i have some crazy bright LED stuff i can adapt to my light box..,most grateful for your help and advice..was starting to pull hair out..

 

Love that song! Chevy Chase always cracks me up.

And....so sorry Matt. I'm the 'scatter brain can't remember a name' guy on the 30DC.

 

All good Gary!

It's actually funny. Because I've been around, therefore so has my wife, always having LOTS of light everywhere to show off colors....our two kids must be adopted. They walk into a room and turn all the lights off nearly immediately saying it's too bright, hurts their eyes.
