Old Time Shaveology

This is a Gillette Brownie safety razor from the 1920's. The experience you get from shaving with a safety razor is different than when using a plastic multi-blade razor. The former is more of an art and the latter is just plain utilitarian. I know I am waxing petty shaveology here but there is a difference.

SB-800 with 3 full blue gels (wall was dark brown) and grid @ 1/32 behind subject aimed at background

White board camera right for a little fill

Triggered via RF-602's
