Nice to see some close-ups :)

That's a serious microscope :)

Great images. Thanks for posting them.

If THAT is what stubble looks like, I'm glad I shave it off!!

That was that a hanging hair, wasn't it?

:rock:

If a whisker falls over on your face and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?

That reminds me to strop extra laps tonight.

got a link to the videos? :D

Nice to see the close up in slow motion.

Awesome Pics, thanks for sharing! I'd love to know WHAT was making those cuts, but I can't download the PDF without dropping money on it. Still those are some great images of whiskers getting the ax!

I was afraid of that, I have it downloaded if you have a way of hosting it for everyone I can send it to you.

Do straight razors really make that unclean of cuts? I noticed when switching from disposables that my stubble was much sharper when my hand ran against the grain from the straight razor. Is that because my razor is not making a clean cut, but rather pulling the hair and cutting it on a pointy angle?

is there a possibilty to ad a pdf in a post ?

Fantastic shots!

Thanks,
Richard
