I have to say I like the light box pics the best and here's why. The outside picture shows how "shiny" the blade is but I hate looking at photos like that on eBay because I have a hard time judging what the reflection is COVERING UP. Now I know your work is stellar Karl and you are not out to get rich but not everyone is like that and I like to see the actual blade/razor itself. The light box pictures show remarkable craftsmanship and you can see the detail much better but you have to guess maybe on how shiny the finish is. I would rather guess on how shiny the finish is than the quality though. Now just "showing off" a razor maybe the outside would be more prefered but if I was going to buy that on eBay or via the classifieds I would want the lightbox pictures. Here's a novel idea----BOTH!
