Testing

Do I need a tripod? (Freehand macro shots)

I don't think a tri-pod is in order, but more natural/indirect light and less flash might help.

Looks good otherwise. Nice and sharp!

Thanks for the tips! I was considering building a light box - maybe I'll do that over the long weekend and see how that helps things.

Maybe a diffuser of some kind...

There was a post around here a little while back I've always wanted to try that showed how to use some wax paper, tinfoil, and a window to get some pretty amazing shots. If searching on iPhone wasn't such a pain I'd post a link!

Good luck!

Those are good pix and a nice razor.
