    Also it is a nice razor. Looks like it hasn’t seen much action, and just one tiny blemish.

    No filter of any kind was used, except it was an overcast day.
    Thanks for the comment.

    Good condition. Wedges aren't my thing, and yeah G&F has a checkered reputation but knock on wood, I have never had a bad one. I think they are underrated and you have a nice looking one there. Your light is fine. Pretty decent pic.

    Awesome, Randy! That's the old G&F which is of high quality and in a 'modern grind' wedge model.
    Truly an excellent shaver.
    Enjoy!

    Ah the old cloud filter. A light curtain may do well for more direct sunlight, just to cut any glare.

    The clouds are a filter. Whatever cuts glare is a filter. Your pictures are good. The big enemy is glare and the tricky part is getting enough light without getting glare.

    I have the bellied hollow ground version (295, 6/8) and it has the Adoration inlay in the scales that Mike mentioned.

    I hadn't heard anything about their "checkered past," and maybe it was dumb luck but mine is a singing full hollow and it is a monster shaver.
