Thread: Skyfall Straight Razor

According to a report from a friend of mine who runs a shaving products shop, Dovo production is sold out till end of 2015, he could hardly get a few.

I told my wife that Skyfall is the reason I bought all those customs and large straight razors. When I pull out a shiny 10/8 to shave with in the morning, she looks at me skeptically, that is, until I tell her "the name's Bond, James Bond". That solves the problem right there. OK, it doesn't, but it does make me feel like a more empowered shaver.

Come to think of it, the wife acts sililarly when I bring up razors or Bond...lots of eye-rolling.

Ah, that's where I'm doing wrong! I say "the names Bond, Basildon Bond"... doesn't get the same effect...

I doubt the article's author has a very reliable or accurate denominator in their % increase calculation. Or numerator for that matter.

And then of course there's the "Sweeney Todd" effect. Even if there is an increase in razor sales, we always need to ask "what sort of razors?" Remember the post-Sweeney Todd movie influx of newbs packing paki letter openers wondering why they couldn't get a shave out of one?

I got super excited about learning to use a straight when I saw Sweeny Todd, but I had no idea how to get into it at the time and ended up with a pocket knife that had a blade shaped like a straight. I lost interest for a while after that setback, but I'm really happy I'm doing it the right way now!

I heard that their stocks were low, but it had something to do with a key worker dying, at least that's what I remember, might be wrong.
