 Nothing fancy, just me half shaving, then eating my razor. Sorry about the rings under my eyes. I'm sick and haven't been sleeping, and no way to remove with basic editing...or maybe there is but I suck.

Open raw

curves
de-sat
duplicate and guassian blur, then lower opacity and fill % of that layer

Clicking update....

I know you all love my shower curtain backdrop!
First self portrait, so i'd say i'm expecting about a 5ish.

Good. The selective desat doesn't do much for the photo. Maybe it were one of those bright yellow-orange disposable things...

Sharp image, nice obvious transition in action. I'm a little confused why he's holding the razor in his mouth. The meaning would still be clear without it.

Now to flip that razor around to the other half without dropping it. I find it easier to use my hands. Photographically, I like the selective desat, but the rest of the image would be helped by some more creative lighting.
