Lord knows, Ben! OH! My name is Tom.
I am only 'Bruce' on Aussie threads! A stipulation for my honorary Aussie status here! OY, OY! :roflmao

I'm not implying that you were talking about sotd or classifieds. Simply saying that I have seen it on this site. I will say that I've never seen an sotd thread with a blade resting on a geode. I do think I saw the eBay ad you are speaking of. There were pics in the classifieds this morning with edge of a razor resting directly on a bladebox. I know it isnt a stone but I wouldn't do it and I don't think you guys would either.
I don't recall if the pics that think I've seen on sotd were yours or not Bob. If they were I obviously didn't appreciate the delicacy of your bevel placement.
Got it now, 'Bruce' in the Aussie threads, 'Tom' everywhere else. That is one thing we do well down here, take your name without consent and shorten it, add a 'Y' or 'O' to the end of it and in some cases just give you a brand new one. All terms of endearment of course, although I must admit I am surprised you didn't get 'Tommo' :rofl2:
I was a photographer - white backgrounds do make the subject stand out, but you get light-creep at the edges that masks fine detail - a thin haired blond against a white background that is softly lit can appear to have nearly no hair at the crown because of this.
The most faithful rendition is given by an 18 per cent grey background, but seeing as most people never check the luminosity or colour balance of their monitors, that is a moot point..
