Thread: Skyfall

So how many of you felt proud and like a total bad@#& when you saw Skyfall last week and noticed that James Bond shaved with a straight razor? ;-) I know I sure did. Now if I could just get my wife to give me a straight razor shave.... All kidding aside, did you know that straight razor sales have jumped 405% due simply to the new Bond film? Woah! Internet search results for phrases like, "cut throat razors" and "straight razors" jumped nearly 735%! Go James Bond! But seriously, if you haven't seen the movie yet you should. It was awesome. Best Bond movie in a while.

Best movie ever! I have been a huge bond fan as long as I can remember. I have all the movies and watch them on a regular basis. I really think skyfall is the best bond movie I have seen. It was modern and classic! Totally amazing

Great, the prices will go up even more... Let me run out and buy my $600 Filly so it will be worth $2000 in a couple months...the good side is that most of the wanna be's will give up after the first couple times and there will be a glut of cheap razors after this year.. I'll be waiting patiently..

I saw the movie two days ago and enjoyed it very much. Like so many others I too was interested by the movie to see what it is all about. So far, it seems like the way to go for many reasons, and yes being awesome is one of them.

Great movie, let the "new people" buy str8 razors. I give it two or three months and 70 procent give up the right way to shave. Al those razors end on the www for a good price. Those that stick to the right way gongrats. 😀😉

First, I did not conduct any research for my hypothesis, but below is a list of the types of razors I presume to think the various actors who have portrayed James Bond would have used:

Sean Connery: Double Edge

George Lazenby: Straight Razor

Roger Moore: Double Edge

Timothy Dalton: Bic disposable

Pierce Brosnan: Mach 3

Daniel Craig: Straight Razor


Any thoughts?

James Bond shaves with a straight razor because he heard of us ...

Timothy Dalton always was my least favorite. lol

Is this just a guess? It's been a long time since I saw him as Bond, so I can't remember.

I saw Skyfall the first chance I got, and it was awesome. I've always been a huge Bond fan after seeing Goldfinger at age six.
