    Maca root works really well but I didn't like the sent so I sent it along to find a new home with someone who loves it.

    It looks very similar. This is the one on my watch list.

    Another outstanding shave. Been messing around with a picture editor trying to get the size down small enough. I used my camera tonight and I'm not a photographer. To say the least.
    Any ideas for a free easy to use photo editor. The one I used was www.picmonkey.com

    I like your set up it looks quite classy and refined. I've just discovered a UK based website with a large variety of vintage razors in great condition at what I think is a reasonable price so hopefully I can begin getting a more sophisticated kit together

    Thanks Clint. I used my camera which I haven't used in some time. I have to downsize the photos to get them posted. I'm not good at this.:)

    Be very careful. This could lead to RAD.

    I use my iPhone more often than not. Just easy to take, edit and upload the photo to photobucket without a lot of work.

    There is an ever ready flip top New York 1930s that I like the look and history of but it does not look very usable it is near perfect condition for £60 is there a thread to get advise on these sorts of things?

    Photobucket does have some editing functions once you upload the photo. For editing I use an iPhone app called Aviary most of the time. Another great iPhone editing app is Phototoaster.

    Check out the Injector and SE thread in "Razors" . Maybe message @Billyfergie to get his opinion.

    I would go to TSD, wait a minute you are already here. Post some pictures. Is the price 60.00 pounds? If so, it seem out of line to me. Others may know better.

    Yes 60.00 English pounds which is around 110 dollars if I'm not mistaken do you consider this expensive?

    It does seem expensive to me, however there are members here who may know more. If you can post some pics it would help.

    If its the same one as @NCoxSTL got, I would say don't get it. Actually, the one you pictured has a spine. If you look at Neal's razor, there isn't a spine, and the high point of the razor is mid blade. Not sure if it was made that way or modified, but it makes the razor kind of scary. I am glad it went to the only person I know crazy enough to actually shave with it.
