 The setup was kind of a pain. I don't have any lightning equipment or background. What I used was my black leather chair. I used small pieces of duck tape to attach the razors to the back of the chair and then shot multiple times. For lighting I used a cheap $10 flashlight.

The editing was all done in Picasa. I am not very good with photoshop. The editing steps were simple. Cropped and sharpened.

Hmm you slogan bothers me - surely the whole point is you need more than one blade because you can throw them away after use?

Anyway, I digress. You've got a nice composition. I probably would suggest lighting them differently so they're not partly in shadow.

If one blad is all I need why are there four of them. The shadows on the bottom most razor are distracting to me.

I liked the movement and the lighting of this picture. The shadow on the third razors kind of give away the fact that it is not all one razor.

Would be more effective if the lighting was even over all the razors. I do like the simplicity of the orange and black, though.

Comp is good and I'm sure what's being sold. Lighting is uneven and that tsetracts from the product display. Good negative space but there should be one razor that is in full view.

Difficult with basic editing but I'd like some sense of movement here.
