Looks good. I often use just a piece of cardboard propped up against the dining room chair. Your light box looks a lot better. Do you use a digital camera? I guess you do. Does it have the option of placing a grid pattern on the viewing screen or viewfinder? If so, if you choose to use the grid you can line up the edge of the bottle with the grid to make sure it looks straighter. You also could always rotate the picture a tad in some app (I use GIMP). I'm no expert of course, but those are the tricks I use...

Comments :
The brush was a shock. It was an eBay purchase, and the sole bid of £1. It's unassuming in terms of looks and weight. It stank of rancid scalp/hair oil, but that was shampooed out (twice). From the usual pea-sized dollop of cream, it didn't hang around in producing lather. It seemed to produce endless amounts of lather too, and the good thick stuff as well. It impressed me, whatever the brush is.

Nice shave to start another week in the salt mines. Is it just me or are four day weekends just not long enough any more?
