Absolutely fabulous Søren. What type of lens (aperture/Focal Length/DOF) did you use on this one?
Thank you very much.
I used a Minolta 50mm Macro lens set at f/19 for ½ second.
"Film" speed: ISO 100.

The general quality of photos are great, and I should quote all, but that would cause a bad "click-finger" so; great work guys
A couple of photos however, just caught my eye;
Beautiful photo and razor
Very close close-up
Very nice

Very nice photo, and I love the pattern on that handle

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Razor: 7/8" Giesen & Forsthoff Decorated back, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
Strop: 40/60 laps (Torolf linen / SRD Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Floris № 89 Shave Creme + Floris № 89 Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Truefitt & Hill "Spanish Leather" AS
After Shave Balm: Truefitt & Hill "Trafalgar" ASB
Results: It is rather hard to beat a shave with the M&M, but I consider today's pretty darn good. The lather from the Floris was bountiful and fabulous :tu. Love the scent of № 89. Riddled in a mix of [bergamot, lavender, neroli, nutmeg, orange, petitgrain, geranium, rose, ylang ylang, cedarwood, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, and vetiver], this English soap doesn't receive the praise it deserves and it certainly knows no bounds when it comes to quality. It couples perfectly with the Morris & Forndran brush. The G&F had an easy time today; not a lot of whiskers to clean up considering yesterday's wonderful shave with my M&M. Nevertheless, I went all out and feel BBS and super smooth. Happy face = Happy me :y.
Have an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Wednesday gentlemen:tu. My thoughts are with the folks living in tornado stricken areas of the US.
Floris No.89 is my kind of shave, Robert. Beautiful arrangement and photo!
Is that a new puck I see? The Floris name is just visible.Wednesday, 25.May.2011

This thread is absolutely unbelievable. What stunning shots we've got going on here at the B&B!!!
Marco, thank you for such nice words!
Indeed they do, thanks Robert!
With the little more time i've got coming my way i'll be certain to connect with you on the "Shapton/.25 spray" theory
It's not quite empty, however the I'Colonia Mango is a stunning performer which deserves more credit
Josh, I'm VERY happy to see you posting pics!And, by the way, very nice shot, mate!
Marco, thank you for such nice words!

Excellent lens Søren
. I am feeling the need to invest in a 60mm or 105mm Nikkor Micro lens. I wonder if this will mark the beginning of LAD (Lens Acquisition Disorder) for me 
?? This can get $$$ for sure.The general quality of photos are great, and I should quote all, but that would cause a bad "click-finger" so; great work guys
Thank you

Great soap David. It's not new (used her a 1/2 dozen+ times maybe). I have a light hand (but get lots loaded) and I have so many soaps that by the time I get one back in line, well you know
.You da man
Great shots,shaves and all, Gents!

This little razor just came home to me after Rene was kind enough to take it out of its undersized scales (the old ones were too short, preventing it from closing) and giving it a new life in these beautifully grained black palm creations he made. He did an outstanding job on the scales, and it looks like a totally different razor.

Oh yes, LAD. I've been down that road, but trying hard to stay away now, although I would like a 100mm macro lens, and a new camera body, and a couple of studio lights, another remote controlled flash would be nice too...

Lordy lordy lordy. Let's stop while we are ahead, because this LAD/CAD (Camera AD) thing can really wreak havoc on both our lives
. Great gear to be had though .- Status
