    Default Whew! Weirdest Ad for an E-Bay Auction - Dovo Ebenholz razor

    I first saw this ad, and really didn't know what to think. The second last shot made me cringe, and the very last shot of the razor was bizarre, I was gobsmacked and horrified, until I read the description for this Dovo Solingen Ebenholz razor, then it all made sense, and I shuddered:

    How's that for some fun on a Sunday night, EST!

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    lucky it was factory sharp & not shave ready honed or it would have been a lot more blood than that for real LOL

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    She just ran out of tomatoes, luckily had some fake blood laying around to pass the test.

    I could see myself buying it if they throw in the rest of the movie props.

    As tight as most indie film budgets are typically, I'm blown away at the very idea that they used anything other than a $5 movie-prop quality razor.

    I can't help but to disbelieve the ad as written - all of the film buffs I know would have painted gold on a cheap prop if they wanted gold.
