My wife is a Photographer and I have her take my pics when I post on the Classifieds here... Her editing software is so good I've had to ask her to re-edit as, particularly with razor boxes, the pics will come out a lot better than the item; in that it will be much easier to see/read the script in the pic than with the naked eye.

I think most people just don't know enough about straight razors, other than they are popular/valuable, so they think a crack like that probably ups the value 300% and will be forever puzzled if the razor doesn't sell for $75-$100. ??

I try to limit my photo editing on items I sell to cropping and color correction, some flaws are more apparent when you do.

just out of curiousity, what software does your wife use? i'm a big fan of adobe's lightroom and photoshop. It is not always the software it is the eye of the photographer that really makes the difference. I do not have that, so I use software


As for the razor I would have to ask for more pics of that area ... both sides it could simply be dirt or "devil's spit" and not a crack but if you look real close on the pic of the back you can see that the crack is there.
