Know it was not my pic but I think "large" means overall file size of the picture. Some cameras have more mega pixels which leads to more pixels in the photo which leads to a larger file. And even then, some cameras just do a better job at compressing the file to a smaller file size. It is mostly dependant on the camera. At least I think, I'm no camera expert whatsoever, I just have a PhD in human behaviors, my expertise is BS
SOTD March 8, 2016 Prep: Warm shower Blade: Voshkod (1) Razor: Maggard MR1 with V2 open comb Brush: Omega 10049 boar Lather: Soap Commander Vision Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced Old Spice knock-off, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, XTG (neck and jaw line) Pretty smooth shave this morning. I am going to use the Soap Commander Vision sample until it dissipates but it's going strong! I've gotten a good many shaves from that small sample. I'm hoping to use it up and move on to a sample of Endurance. My lather was a little thin to begin with but with more face lathering I brought it up to a passable level. Soap Commander is nice and cushiony with lots of protection and slickness. They seem to be really top-notch products. First shave with a Voshkod blade and I was pleased. No issues or complaints. They seemed smooth and sharp. Thanks to @John Beeman for throwing in a tuck on a PIF he sent my way. The open comb razor performed well again. I enjoy the open comb experience and enjoyed the Injector experience that past three shaves. Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

3/8/16 - #86 - Farewell Old Spice Cologne/Aftershave I purchased this bottle of Old Spice cologne in the mid 1990's and have moved it around a few times. In 2014, I decanted a half bottle of newer Old Spice aftershave into the glass bottle and filled it back up - it was around half full at the time. Today it gave me its last little bit. Gonna miss it, but I will keep this glass bottle and refill it with Avon Spicy at some point. Prep: warm wash Lather: Dusy Kabinett Brush: RazoRock Plissoft Razor: Blackbird Blade: Feather (2) Post: Old Spice The Feather blade was smoother today but still very loud, almost a crackling sound, as it seemed to cut each whisker. The shave turned out well and I call it a DFS.
