 This is my first challenge entry. My first reaction to the challenge was to try to show the stupidity of affluence. I ended up with silliness - who would use a $300 bottle of wine to make shaving cream?? I don't have studio equipment or experience so I just fooled around with halogen/incandescent lights. The colour washed out on the overexposed brush - with better lights and time it would be better.

Thank you to those who voted and commented. Now I have something to improve upon. My wife said, "Are you sure everyone will understand it"?

There is something very yummy about this, maybe it's the lighting and the texture of that cream...I keep wanting to taste that shaving cream..nicely decadent.

Why is the shaving cream red? You have nice composition here, but red and yellow hue is rather disturbing.
