- mickryobe commented on DawsonL4's instructable How to Shave With a Safety Razor.View Instructable »
I have been shaving every day for about 70 years.I would suggest that the lather should be opaque when you apply it to your face. Not thickly but your skin should not be visible through it. Otherwise it may dry before you have finished a pass.The individual bubbles should not be visible. If they are, your lather is too wet. It should be a smooth, even, white like meringue or whipped cream.You will have to apply your razor at the optimum angle to your face - approximately 30 degrees. but it will vary. Put the razor against your face with the handle sticking out at 90 degrees. Slowly lower it until you feel the blade just touching your skin. Shave away using little or no pressure.!Count on three passes for the best shave,1. With the grain (direction of growth) of your beard. Usually down th…

Some velvet fabrics will reflect light.romeug's suggestion of felt is excellent.
View Instructable »I am not familiar with this phenomenon nor with "edge bleed". From reading the responses in this thread it seems that too much brightness is causing the problem.Would a neutral density filter(s) be of any use to you?Mickey
- mickryobe commented on Yonatan24's instructable How to Make a Pure Black Photography BackgroundView Instructable »
I have been taking pictures for 72 years. I have never had a problem finding suitable, cheap, matte black backgrounds.Your arts and crafts store or stationary store is a good place to look.So is a fabric store. But beware, some fabrics can have a shine that will appear in your photo. A polarizing filter might correct that. And don't forget your clothes closet.A small can of black matte paint can render many objects acceptably black.By adjusting your exposure by making it as short as possible but still properly exposing your subject you should get a proper black field. You might also try that old film users' trick....Over expose. Proper exposure. Under expose. Since you are not burning expensive film it may be worth a try.Make sure your camera reads the exposure directly from the subject.…

- mickryobe commented on Bennybenbenny's instructable Shade arbor for deckView Instructable »
It is very attractive and practical. Well done, indeed.I had the same problem with my deck facing west the evening sun made it unbearable.I opted for two retractable sunscreens to shade the western view. as the sun is low enough in the evening that I needed no top screening.
A superb lesson with exceptional illustrations.Thank you very much.Mickey Oberman
