A close shave...

...is imminent!

More everyday items - but then again, these days, perhaps not so everyday as all that.

Looks good viewed large on black... IMHO!

Interesting colors in the brush. But then I don't know much about them.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor The proper ones, and this is one, are made from badger bristles which, I suppose, accounts for the colours.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse Always learning something knew.

It is very nice viewed large on black. I like how you have the razor peeking out from behind the brush. Looks like a sneak attack.

[Amy J]

Great detail and I love the colors and sharp edges of the razor. My everyday macro was uninspiring today so I snuck out into the rain before the sun set... tomorrow I will try again!

[Mark Pratt]

Great shot and POV. I really like the way you composed the shot.

[Julie Cortens]

Yup! Best on black - nice macro. Waiting for the post shaven selfie. :)

[Richard Sayer]

@aerjoseph I know the feeling Amy! I will be tight for time tomorrow, so it's back to the garden for me too!

[Gill W]

Love the composition and light.

[Richard Sayer]

@cortens You and Mrs S both! i normally shave my beard in the summer, so watch this space... (But if you can't wait, look in the photos on your Home page of the people you are following, and you will see a clean shaven me!)

[Tom]

Very nice control of the light and processing to create a very striking image.. Almost looks, as if used a blue filter over the light.

[Richard Sayer]

@tosee I wanted the light to be towards the blue end of the spectrum, Tom, so I adjusted the colour temperature in processing.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely composition, great detail and lovely light! Everyday objects transformed by your eye and camera!

[judith deacon]

Lovely composition and lighting on this and nothing everyday about the subject matter, quite uncommon these days!

[Julie Cortens]

@vignouse I still get your profile photo on my home page following list Richard and no clean shaven face. :) Will keep watching. :)

[Rachel]

Beautiful light, great close up!

[Maggie]

Stunning close up see enlarged. Wonderful lighting.

[Daryl O'Hare]

Lighting and crisp focus make it such a great comp!

[Niki]

oh no don't shave the whiskers!! :O they suit you! Badger bristles?! Oh dear.

[Shanne]

great focus and pov - this is a lovely pov
