      What a nice setup!

      Also, using the Affluent Alces for Austere August tickles my affinity for alliteration :). Mine’s still in the mail, so I’ll try in during Straightember.

      Love the photo, Now of course I’m wondering what the trick is with balancing the straight on its tip!

          I did suspect something along those lines regarding the razor, but I’m surprised that the background colour was artificial. I’m naïve 😀

            I can do the color with lighting. I have the lights. It’s just quicker to do it with Lightroom. It looks natural because everywhere you see the white background reflected, white is replaced it with green.
