The Invicta ploughed through it with no trouble at all.
A very enjoyable 3 pass BBS

How do you like the Astra blades? I just used one for a few shaves and find them delightful.

Jamie, once you have a wife, no need for a thesaurus, dictionary or encyclopaedia, electronic or not. She already knows EVERYTHING!!!

Very nice glass. Will they fit my D80?

Sure, but your camera is a DX, so the lens works as an 21-36 mm.
This lenses are expensive but if you still planning to go to an FX in the next time, it will be fine.

I bought some of the lenses when I worked with the D300 (DX). The lenses you can use decades. Often the people only changes the bodies of their camera.

A lovely Saturday morning shave. Going to celebrate my 3rd wedding anniversary, only two weeks left in the Insanity programs (20 pounds lighter now), and dogs were actually behaving themselves.

Enjoy the weekend, gents... See you Monday!

Did some trading with one of our fine members from PA the other day. Part of the trade was a lovely later production Frederick Reynolds "Diamond Edge".
He had her honed to perfection. I've used this razor several times now and really enjoy it.


Did my usual with only the best VDH cheapy stuff.
Two passes and BBS!

THANKS DAVE!!
