I love those pics Bill, just up my alley. I used to do a lot of night photography myself, many moons ago, cityscapes in black and white were my addiction.

You guys take fancy schmancy photos. Guess I should set up a light box.

I use a piece of white paper card for mine. I take the photos on the dining room table with the paper laid on the table and curved up against a chair back. I use just natural light from the window or the incandescent light.

Seriously though, I think honing's the hardest part of this art, sometimes you think you get it, but then you fall deep down and hit rock bottom once you think you've got it.

The Jernbolaget is certainly a very nice razor. Had you honed the Hellberg frameback at all? I know I'm not a great and powerful honer like some here, and I'll never hone a couple of thousand razors, but it was nice to get it so right this time and the last (with the Jernbolaget). In fact, I don't even know if that pyramid I used is 'valid', but it did work for me...
