Shaving scenes in movies/series/novels?

If you look at my avatar, you will easy know that I love 007. And James is wetshaver!

In novel 007 in New York (1963.) Ian Fleming says that Bond goes to shopping in New York which include “Hoffritz on Madison Avenue for one of their heavy, toothed Gillette-type razors, so much better than Gillett's own product”.

In novell The Man With The Golden Gun (1965.) Fleming also write this: “He always used a Hoffritz safety razor patterned on the old-fashioned heavy-toothed Gillette type. His American friend Felix Leiter had once bought him one in New York to prove that they were the best, and Bond had stayed with them”.

In the movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969.), we don't see Bond is shaving, but we see he use a heavy-toothed Gillette, as a knuckle-duster.

In 1973. Live and Let Die[/b], James is Roger Moore, and his choice is Schick injector Type L, with Schik leather. In can.

In the The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), Octopussy (1983.) and The Living Daylights (1987.) he use – Hoffritz!

He also use two electrical razors – in View To A Kill (1985.) Philishave 1335 and in Die Another Day (2002.) - Philishave Sensotec HQ8894/Norelco Spectra 8894XL.

And yes... in 2012. In Skyfall he use SR – Dovo #41.

BTW. From the books we know he loves Floris 89 (in 3 novells). Fleming loves Geo. F. Trumper Eucris, and it is mentioned in novell On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

From the novells we know James use Pinaud hair shampoo. Who knows, maybe even one of their AS.

Wow you know you stuff don't you, very interesting indeed. :)
 
Whilst Mr. Fleming certainly mentioned Floris in novels I don't believe he cites No 89. In fact Bond himself comments in " From Russia With Love " that englishmen wash instead of using aftershaves. Which suggests that the Eucris provided for him in " On Her Majesty's Secret Service " along with a hair brush and comb was indeed the Trumper's hair dressing favoured by Mr. Fleming himself as a teenage scholar. This is underlined in the copy of a letter by Mr. Fleming himself in Henry Chancellor's " James Bond, the Man and His World " whereMr. Fleming writes to correct a review by Raymond Mortimer in the Sunday Times in which the reviewer mentiones ' Trumper's Eucryl ". To which Mr. Fleming writes, " why Mr. Bond should drench his hair in pink tooth - powder ... In fact Bond uses nothing in his hair and the eucris featured only in M. Draco's spare bath - room ".
