Support I'm sure this is the best photo possible; at least the best a man can get. Belle (talk) 01:56, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you saying you want to take a better picture? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I can verify that that is a razor. GamerPro64 02:58, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose – Sorry, but I'm always underwhelmed by photos of currently available commercial products. Sca (talk) 14:20, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - It isn't a particularly good composition of a dull commercial product. Much better is possible. FunkyCanute (talk) 20:00, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Such as? Keeping in mind, of course, that the subject is the razor itself and not the act of shaving. (Although an image of a person shaving with a Mach3 would be useful, it would have little value in illustrating the razor as a razor; between the shaving foam obscuring the cartridge and the hands around the handle, little of the razor would be visible) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How 'bout a selfie of you shaving with it? Or, alternatively, of you happily paying for the cartridges? Sca (talk) 17:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Even at Indonesian prices, there is no "happily paying for the cartridges". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:17, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You'd think somebody over there would make cheap counterfeits – or does Gillette's long legal arm reach that far? Sca (talk) 13:37, 12 August 2015 (UTC) [reply]

Why don't you just wax, boys? Or veet (don't try this; apparently it causes burns because your delicate manly faces aren't as tough as our legs) Belle (talk) 14:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC) [reply]

There's always radiation. Sca (talk) 21:19, 12 August 2015 (UTC) [reply]

I've Nair-ed before. Works for the eyebrows, not the cheeks. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:28, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the picture being taken from the blade end, it is not possible to see that the blade (cartridge) can be detached: the mechanism is obscured by the blade. The lighting is also rather harsh and in places the image is slightly burnt out. FunkyCanute (talk) 17:38, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Mydreamsparrow: The lens is a very good one. I actually prefer it to all of my other lenses, but sadly 100mm can be hard to use in enclosed spaces. Maybe if I had another L lens of a shorter I'd change my tune, but even the nifty fifty falls behind. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:33, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
