Black and white photos are an interesting change of pace occasionally. You would probably need a light background since the gear tends to be dark and disappears into the background.

I got your point regarding the Personna Med Preps.Steep all the way.
The ST is certainly efficient. The HA can be a bit of a monster. The Personna Med Prep is a marvelous match for both the ST and the HA. The Perma-Sharp, not as good.I got your point regarding the Personna Med Preps.
I still have a few things I want to try on the Stirling SS ST plate.
This thing is efficient!!!
Thank you, Guido!Question: How do you like the Black & White pics?
I like them David. Slightly darker than your usual coloured pictures, but still a nice artistic way of presenting your shave. So I would suggest to keep up the great work sir!

The Prometheus Churning Candy is a very ergonomic and comfortable brush. Love the TNS 26mm Original BOSS Fan!

Going with The Veg as my aftershave this week. Finished with Grey Flannel EdT Spray before going out for the day. Great combination!
Superb shave! Top Tier in all respects!
Thank you very much!Loving that brush!!
I love my Swing. It is indeed as good as you say. In fact: it may be the best DE razor I have, in overall use and performance. I used it yesterday with the original bakelite handle. You don’t like that handle?20220430

Same soap, aftershave and fragrance as yesterday!
Superb shave!
I originally purchased the Swing head only - no handle. The Timeless Titanium handles are a wonderful match. The new LHF GTx handles I've been using lately promise to be an even better match.I love my Swing. It is indeed as good as you say.
