What razor did you use today?

Another rotation with the ATT Kronos H1 with GSB Blades.

A 40's Super-Speed. It's growing on me as I use it more. I received a 40s style Super-Speed on July 26th. It seemed more prone to nick than my others, and early shaves left my face feeling a little irritated. After one shave while visiting family, I decided it wasn't for me and made up my mind to sell it.  This past weekend, I decided to give it another chance. I needed to treat it like the NEW and the Old Type, that is, ride the cap and be attentive during the shave. The first two shaves in this manner, yesterday's and today's, were much better and I am liking this (probably) 1949 Super-Speed. I think I made a mistake in treating it earlier like my '64 Super-Speed and Slim, and even the Techs, thinking I could just coast through the shave. No, it needed more care. Maybe not as much as the NEW short comb, but this old SS can bite if treated too loosely, especially around my chin and upper lip.  Now I am liking it more, and it has moved back in with the rest!


Sorry for the blurry, maybe not enough coffee? or too much?!

BLURRR. It is caused by an annoying phenomenon called "depth of field". It can be a blessing or a curse.

Stand farther back and zoom in if you have a zoom lens.

Or use a longer focal length lens and back off.

Or use a smaller aperture.
By removing that black cloth and using the marble or sand that it is resting on you will have a bright and probably attractive backdrop that will give you all the light you need. You will be able to reduce your aperture as well as open up the details in the shadows.

Or wait until the sky is overcast and increase the exposure time. That will allow a smaller aperture and eliminate or greatly reduce shadows.

However, under some circumstances you might not have any choice but accept the blurr.
It's in the nature of lenses. They can be obstinate.

I have been told I missed a couple. So here they are. No extra charge.
Use white cardboard of manageable size as reflectors. But keep it or them out of the picture.
Or use flash which I think might wash out the detail on reflective metal surfaces.
