My goal when I take a pic is to accurately show all the flaws in the razor. I despise glare that hides pitting on the blade.
Indirect lighting is what I like the best. That's why this last set of pics was taken on a cloudy/overcast day.
I hope to get better at portraying the actual state of the razor.

That's astoundingly honest of you.

I know that goes in the complete opposite direction, but I find the light from a lightbox to be borderline cruel in that matter.
They're not that expensive, easy to set up, you can use a diffuser in order to stop the glare.

I have been tempted to get a light box, but I wanted to try indirect lighting first. Once, I sat outside on my patio in full sun but with a 10-foot-diameter umbrella and took pictures of a few razors. The sun bounced off the siding on my house on my left side and the garage behind me and off the same table as I used in this last set of pictures. I held the razors up off the table about 18 inches and got some excellent pics.
I am going to try again with the umbrella up and a diffuser on the set of next pics.
