Evening men. I was watching a DVR recording of the new "Eureka" series on SciFi channel last night. I taped it Tuesday and finally got around to watching it yesterday. During one of the commercial breaks, I noticed an advertisement for a new series on the network(danged if I can remember it just now, I'll check the recording again)that seemed to be imlying that everday objects were somehow special. Anyway, very plainly and front and center in at least two shots were a black handled DE razor that I believe was Schick Krona. It was accompanied by a shave brush with a clear looking lucite handle. The brush was given it's own shot and the tandem showed up again at the end of the segment. Again, very close up and in plain view.

This is the second time that a DE razor has been prominent on SciFi. For those of you who follow the new Battlestar Galactica, you'll remember that in season one, there was a closeup scene of Admiral Adama(Edward James Olmos)shaving with a Gillette DE! Maybe we've got a traditional wetshaver doing sets at SciFi? I'll tell you what, if a bowl of Trumper shows up in an add or a series on that network, I'm going to just about jump out of my chair. Of course the wife will look at me as if I'm even more ignorant than she imagines with all this grooming preoccupation I have now.:lol: :lol: :tongue_sm :tongue_sm. Just wondered if anyone esle caught the ad. BTW, Eureka has promise but is definately rough around the edges. BG still reigns as the best series on TV.

The show is The Lost Room (http://www.scifi.com/lostroom/).

Sounds good!

And yes, I wouldn't miss an episode of BSG if there were a scud missile about to hit my house. When that show is on, I'm glued to the TV.

Very cool! I like the idea of true wetshaving breaking into the mainstream, but alas, SciFi isn't exactly main stream.

Amen! Purportedly, they're making a spin off based on Caprica as well (last time I did any reading on the matter). There was also mention that the upcoming season is going to be a lot darker than the last.

Too bad SG1's gone down the toilet. It used to be fantastic SciFi like BSG is now, albeit for different reasons.

I was watching Rambo:First Blood on AMC the other day. You guys remember the scene when one of the deputies is sharpening the straight razor and Rambo starts getting flashbacks?

The only problem with that scene is that the deputy is using a barber's hone to sharpen the razor...but using it backwards. Had he used a strop or flipped the razor, it would have been right. I guess they were dulling the straight to see how tough Rambo really was.

Yeah I noticed that. Well, it made Rambo snap. He beat the crap out of those deputies. :lol:
