Personally, I use a glorified Sony point and shoot DSC-H5. I Just use the macro setting and set the aperture as big as possible, usually around f/2.8. Play around with your shutter speed too to get the your preferred exposure. Oh and as low an ISO as possible, 80 or 100 for me. Have fun and experiment!

Churchill,

That Hess is fine looking, unusual razor. Don't see them very often. Beautiful scales as well as gold decoration on the shank and tang. Congratulations.

I've never seen Crown's Eau de Quinine either. Is there a particular vendor in the U. S. where it can be obtained?

jhenry, thanks for the kind words. I love the Hess it is a top notch shaver. Sadly the Crown's Eau de Quinine is discontinued as Crown perfumery is no longer in business.
