Another of my hobbies, taking photos. It's pretty much limited to razor pics and photos of the family though.
To be honest I know nothing about real photography.
All my photos are taken with this $100 point and shoot camera. I'd love to learn more about the technical side if photography and get myself a better camera. One day...

Loving the themed week boys, keep 'em coming.

Congratulations! That is awesome! You are definitely an assett to this Forum, and it's always nice chatting with you! Hope that the next year brings you much shaving joy!

That's a great looking decoy DFriedl, i was watching American Pickers the other night on the national geographic channel and was shocked how much those vintage decoys ducks can sell for thousands of dollars.

Finally got around to testing some of the 3M lapping Film out on a couple of razors,,,

Results:
The Wacker
The W&B

Bears more testing

The Shave:

Prep = Multiple Steaming Towels
Shave Cream = Devon & Spencer Sage
Brush = Restored Solid Brass 22mm Silvertip
Razor = Wacker
Aftershave = Cool Water
ASB = Cool Water

Incredible shave from the Wacker razor honed on 5-3-1µm 3M AlOx and stropped in on .1 CBN followed by 50/100 Linen & Leather
A W&B Heavy grind however was just the opposite, the edge was way to harsh to shave with..



Hobby for this morning,
The wife and I enjoy "Casual" 4 wheeling we get out into the mountains here quite a bit and just explore
