These were 4 out of about 30 pics I tried taking with the wife's camera. it's a great camera but the lighting was bad and the flash kept washing everything out. I'll probably get help in salvaging the blade, I have too many other unfinished projects to finish before I try to get around to using this one. Also, when I bought my shavette, I didn't need to buy a strop or any other razor maintenance materials since the blades are disposable. I want to be able to shave exclusively with a straight and my big test will be when I go out to sea on my ship and attempt to shave a moving object on a moving object. After I find out how that goes, I'll be looking to invest in the rest of what I need.
