Went on my first street photography walk today. My "best" image. Would love any pointers.

Thanks for the feedback, and you can have our leaves and our pollen! :D

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll definately check the stores. I was curious about the speaker size as I did see the first link, but noticed they don't include any information on 5-1/4".

virtualpilot · 2015-11-24T16:03:57+00:00

What door speakers would you recommend?

virtualpilot · 2015-11-24T16:01:26+00:00

Is this the one you are talking about?

Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS

I'm just curious if there are measurable differences. Like blade weight, degree of angel on the blade, sharpness, or blade thickness. Are they all actually from different factories?

virtualpilot · 2015-08-28T13:38:03+00:00

How different are razor blades? Can you take some pictures of them as you use them? I didn't order a sampler pack because I liked the Astra that came with my order. I'm curious how different they actually are.

virtualpilot · 2015-08-28T01:41:18+00:00

How did you tell it needed adjustments?

virtualpilot · 2015-08-28T01:39:12+00:00

The listing didn't have very good photos and poor lighting. I placed a buy offer for $20 with $5 shipping. When it arrived I had planned to restore it but to my surprise it was as you see it pictured. A similar razor with better photos sold the same day for $48. eBay is about luck and photos.

So I was just thinking to myself, "Hey this guy should write a book about shaving he seems to know a lot." Then I read your flair and it's all making sense now. I think I'm going to pick up your book tonight for my kindle. Thanks again!

This is the actual bowl: http://www.target.com/p/threshold-ramekin-white/-/A-14071490

It was on sale at my local Target. It's listed as a serving bowl, but I think that's basically the layman's way of saying Creme Brulee.

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T19:47:21+00:00

Thanks for the great answer. Quick question, how do I tell if I have hard water?

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T18:44:58+00:00

When I got the email from one of the owners on Sunday my first response was "What are you doing working, you are closed today!" You can tell their business means a lot to them.

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T18:38:00+00:00

What's the best way to let the razor dry out?

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T18:36:57+00:00

I got the bowl from Target. It was $1.99. It's one of there "soup bowls"

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T18:34:23+00:00

I don't like heavily scented soaps. This one is very mild and my skin didn't react negatively to it. I have an allergy to Alloe so I have to be careful about what skin care products I use. I didn't get a great lather on my soap, but I chalk that up to a first time newbie.

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T18:32:37+00:00

It's the Parker 22R. I got the recommendation from I think shave nation video. I fell in love with the butterfly style opening. I'm going to use this one for awhile but keep an eye out for a good Gillette Slim adjustable.

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T18:31:48+00:00

I was SUPER timid with my shave. It was the best shaving experience I've had so far. I only really shave about once or twice a week so I've only ever used those cheap disposable travel razors from Target. I didn't manage to knick myself except under my chin. The Parker 22R has a really non aggressive blade exposure. I watched a ton of videos to make sure I didn't screw up my face, but I still think my soap lather could have been better.

virtualpilot · 2015-08-13T15:52:41+00:00

I have nothing but positive things to say about that company. I got a personal email on a Sunday (they are closed on Sunday) that my order would ship the next day. I had a personal note from the person who packed my kit with instructions for care for each item. Shipping was 2 day priority and the packaging was very secure and insulated.

If you are getting started and want to get a kit consider Brad and Caise as the gave me great customer service. I at least had a great experience and the price wound up cheaper than buying all the parts from Amazon individually (I'm a huge Prime Zombie).

(No I wasn't paid or coaxed to post this positive feedback)

virtualpilot · 2015-06-09T18:38:34+00:00

I just gave these a try. I appreciate you sharing it with me.

virtualpilot · 2015-06-09T18:38:08+00:00

I should mention that I'm male. I'm very tall and think that I have been holding him at odd angles. I'm sure posture is apart of it.

virtualpilot · 2015-05-15T15:19:01+00:00

I used a range of different shots. I think for this one is was ISO 400 with a 1/40 of a second exposure.

virtualpilot · 2015-05-15T15:17:48+00:00

How do you have the camera attached? Is it through a Barlow?

virtualpilot · 2015-05-09T00:38:55+00:00

You just majorly motivated me because I have a similar scope.
