This is a 1.6:1 macro of something for you to look at and take a guess as to what it is....
This is an easy one to make up for the challenging #08.
In any case, your correct, wild, out of the box and out of this world guesses are being looked forward to.
As usual the answer will be posted in a few days' time. Enjoy!
Edited 2021/03/07 to provide the answer:
This is an uncropped compilation of 24 focus stacked 1.6:1 macro shots of a Gillette Fusion Proglide Cartridge with 5 blades. The handle lasts for years, but the blades obviously need to be replaced.
Magnification Ratio: 1.6:1

I haven't really used this for the past year; but with it being nearly eight years since I've seen my chin -- and almost a year since I trimmed the current beard -- maybe it's time for a change?
Macro photograph of three modern razor blades. These are certainly a lot safer than the old cut throat razor.

"SAFETY RAZOR, my husband had this razor for many years."
Something I’ve done some years back. The whiskey can serve as a medicinal ointment in case of a gash, cut or scratch. It actually works!
Fed up with the two-blade, three-blade, five-blade swiveling tilting vibrating lubricating multi-dollar blades foisted upon us by the whisker industrial complex I returned to the $0.10 blades I learned to shave with. And it turns out they still work great.
This is a Merkur handle with an Astra blade.

By R Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders. I couldn't find a full version online, only a sample on amazon, although here is a fine, fine rendition by a fan.
(I would have put one of my very Crumb-ian legs in the shot, but I hadn't shaved them yet...I do have standards, y'all.)

I tried out a safety razor but ultimately went back to a cartridge razor.
Gear: Fujifilm X-T 3, XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR
Exposure: 1/80 at f/1.4, ISO 320, Ambient Light, Classic Chrome Film Simulation
This razor is a beauty. I love my RazoRock "Game Changer" open comb razor (with the .84-P head).
I also love the Fuji 16mm f/1.4, particularly with it's close-focusing capabilities. It's not quite a macro, but for a wide angle lens it gets so nice and tight on a subject.
Nowadays I only use oldtime great shaving tools. I didn't have a stand for them, so I made this of oak. Two Gillettes and a Body-shop Brush.

It was a presentation day today at work where we take time to thank some of our generous industrial sponsors for helping out the students and in all honesty it's been pretty humbling and it definitely has been a time for reflection.
Which is fitting as this is the theme for the Macro Monday group today.
About a year ago I started using a safety razor rather than the disposable ones as I kept being told that they're much sharper and cause less skin irritation.
In all honesty they definitely do and they work out much cheaper in the long run too. But they take a little practice and getting used to. I've only tried to shave my head once with it and I looked like I'd been in some horror slasher movie by the end of it... could be time to give it another try, I'll just check my life insurance policy first though.
Reflection in the head of the razor and also in the stone worktop.

Like the British Army, The Clemak has firmly established its ascendency.
It may be outnumbered, it cannot be beaten.
It may be attacked by every weapon known to commercial warfare, but still it triumphs.
Sheer merit !
That's the secret of Clemak success. 1915
A Rooney (small, style 3 in faux ivory) shave brush and a Merkur (or DOVO) 38C ("Barberpole") double-edge safety razor with an old-fashioned, ceramic shaving scuttle custom made by Gaye Markley. Hot water is put in the larger bowl and the smaller bowl is placed inside that. It is used to keep lather warm while shaving.
Yes, this is how I shave. Each blade costs me between $0.10 and $0.50 (depending on the brand) and is good for 3 shaves or so. You can go here if you would like to find out more.

Cheap and cheerful safety razor from eBay. Cost £4.50 and came with ten blades. Better for the environment and a hell of a lot cheaper going forward. Shot with the close-focusing Tammie 45 and a couple of softboxes.
Here is a link to a very good information source on Schick injector razors - www.safetyrazors.net/schick/schicktech.htm
A 1912 patent Valet Autostrop Model C safety razor. The Model C is the most common Autostrop razor, they were frequently given away as premiums. This one apparently was given away by the Albany Evening News, probably for a subscription. The Albany Evening News operated from 1926 - 1937.
The Autostrop razors had a stropping mechanism built in. A leather belt was run through the bottom of the razor and the blade would automatically flop to and fro over the belt as you pushed and pulled the razor along it. Autostrop didn't seem to quite understand the "razor and blades" business model created by Gillette. They claimed you could strop a blade back to life 40 or more times before it had to be replaced!
Interestingly Valet and Gillette merged under unusual circumstances. Although the merger was presented to the public as Gillette buying out Valet, it turned out that Gillette's books were funny and the company was only worth more than Valet on paper. So in reality Valet bought out Gillette. Regardless the Valet Autostrop was history by the 1950s, and Gillette is still around today.
