Thread: Is this normal - everyone seems largely sold out

Well, while we're off topic, I saw Skyfall this weekend. Best DC Bond film. Much better than the previous two, & I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I didn't see him stropping the SR. Was I not paying attention or was he being a naughty bond?

I think DC is a great Bond. I think George Lasenby was the only one I really wasn't impressed by. By now it must be the most difficult character to play in any movie because so many people have so many expectations. DC does an excellent job in my opinion.

I didn't notice any stropping either. Maybe he strops after shaving only or perhaps it had just come back from being honed. I watched a bit of sweeney todd recently and I'm pretty sure he strops blade first instead of spine first. Not great for a professional barber, but then it was the 1800s and he was crazy.

Well, while we continue to be off topic...

Skyfall was the best new Bond film so far, by a significant margin. That said, while I've enjoyed all of the bond films to one degree or another, I think Daniel is a great re-incarnation of Bond, and the best since good ole Sean Connery.

I don't remember seeing any stropping in Skyfall, but I always like it when straights make an appearance (same goes for old Fords and Colts)

Prices seem to be higher everywhere...getting to the point of pricing me out of the hobby (good thing the razors I have will last me several lifetimes!). Out of stock items seem to be filling in (so long as they don't contain gunpowder or lead anyway). But I don't know about razors. I can't afford 'em new. I will keep an eye out for used Dovo's and TI's popping up now that there's a verifiable post-Skyfall market to take advantage of!

Peace,
Jim
