Thread: New James Bond movie = lots of interest in straight shaving

This is an interesting read. Seems they have been on an upward trend lately on E-bay

Sometimes the old ways are the best indeed.
Death to the $4 cartridge!

In a few months you should be able to pick up a lot of near new, hardly used, cut-throats for a reasonable price then I'd reckon!

That didn't even occur to me when I first read that story! ..or, maybe a few new members to the SRP.

I'd imagine you are spot on with that prediction Mick.

I saw the movie about a week ago, she did it quite nicely.

The wife and I are still trying to sort out a family member to baby-sit for us. We plan to see it as soon as that can be arranged. They just have to get bck from holidays (vacation if you prefer).

I have been getting use to Aussie speak and understand holiday but what is bck?

I find articles like this goofy. 405% increase of what. Without what it is useless.

bck is the abbreviation for, "Oops, I made a typo, been caught out with it, and now even if I go back and edit, I will still look silly because I've been quoted on what I wrote." So as you can see, 'bck' is a very handy little word .

405% above their last terms sales figures I would guess. Applicable only to the store that is making the comment.

I understand typos! My problem is my brain gets going and between that and what my fingers type it gets confusing.

What I meant by "what" is how much. 405% of 1 is not much. 405% of 1,000 is a big deal. If they don't mention their average monthly sales the 405% increase isn't a big deal.
