A close shave

That must have been very disappointing James. I hope you can get another appointment soon.

This makes a lovely still life shot........the light is lovely and the razor, soap and brush are sharp and detailed. I love the background..!!

I've never used a cutthroat razor........I'd probably do myself some serious damage :-)))

Many thanks for the kind comment sir 'tis as ever appreciated.
My Granddad used to use an ordinary razor in the week but on a Sunday he always used a cutthroat razor, he claimed it gave a close shave.

Yep very disappointed with the hospital it was a total farce and I feel let down by them :-((

Da hast du wieder für ein Stillleben vom Feinsten gesorgt mit dieser Zusammenstellung und dass du auch den Schaum eingesetzt hast,klasse einfach lieber James,auch der Hintergrund läßt diese Dinge sehr schön rüberkommen :))

Oh,das ist schade,dass es nicht geklappt hat lieber James,ich hoffe,dass sich bald alles zum Positiven ändert :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Excellent capture! Hope your eyes are okay and there is a good reason why you didn't get the surgery.

Thank William.
I have good vision in my left eye but cloudy vision in my right eye which is annoying as I use my right eye for focusing, it looks like I will have to get used to using my left eye. It is a long story but the end result is there was no good reason for cancelling my op and I'm still very annoyed with the hospital for messing me around and wasting 8 hours of my day!!

All the best William

Great still life. No shave like one with a good straight razor.
Hope your eye problems are resolved.

Thanks RHH, my granddad always used to say he got the best shave from a straight razor, I don't shave!
There is no resolution to my eye problem so I'm going to have to get used to using one good eye

A beautifully arranged still life with a well chosen background, I love the foam!

Letting you go to hospital, sit waiting and then cancelling isn't exactly good style. Why couldn't they have cancelled beforehand if they had to?

Thanks for the comment Gudrun

That is typical of the hospital where I live it has happened before a couple of years ago when I had to go about something else, I was told the surgeon arrived late that day and didn't have time to fit me in so I told me to fit me in because I wouldn't come back, reluctantly they fit me in for that procedure.
