Great idea, I too have searched for specific information on photographing small reflective items like razors and knives. There is not a lot of information available and certainly not in one spot.

For me it is trial and error, lighting an inexpensive light box and leaning about bouncing light have helped.

No doubt we have some guys that know the ins and outs of photographing razors, look at the Shave of the Day and Hone of the Day for great examples.

At the very least it would be great to collect the information on one spot. Walter Sorrells has a great basic You Tube post on photographing knives.
